Mary Bennett Ritter

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I have long been interested in the life and work of Dr. Mary Bennett Ritter. She was a physician, receiving her degree from Cooper Medical College (now Stanford School of Medicine) in 1886. She ran her own practice in Berkeley for twenty years and advocated for women's rights all her life. She served as the first unofficial dean of women students at the University of California Berkeley.

(Compose a detailed evaluation of the article here, considering each of the key aspects listed above. Consider the guiding questions, and check out the examples of what a useful Wikipedia article evaluation looks like.)

Lead section: The lead section introduces the subject clearly. It mentions several distinct contributions Ritter made to medical history, women's rights advocacy, and sanitation, but the article does not have sections that offer details on these achievements.

Content: The article content is not fully developed. It could benefit from headers and subheaders. Each section could use more detailed information. The content addresses an equity gap on Wikipedia: the achievements of an early woman physician and woman's rights advocate.

Tone and Balance: The article has a neutral tone and is balanced.

Sources and References: It has two references and two external links. One of the external links does not work.

Organization and writing quality: This article is a stub article. It does not have sections and could benefit from further development with specific headings.

Images and media: the article has an infobox with one image.

Talk page: the talk page has no content. the article is rated as a stub class and start class for women scientist. It is rated as low importance for the categories biography, California, women scientists, and medicine.

Overall impressions: this article is underdeveloped. It can be improved by developing more content, adding more sources, and emphazing the notability of Dr. Ritter's achievements as a physician, first dean of women students at UC Berkeley, and advocate for sanitary living conditions for students. ~
