Barbara DeWolfe - Wikipedia

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 chose this article because it is the article I would like to work on. It addresses an equity gap of women in STEM. Its a relatively short article as it stands but the information provided is good.

Evaluate the article
(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
The lead is short and concise but introduces the topic well. Some things that are missing could be education, and the impact of her work. For instance, what breakthroughs occurred thanks to her research on the white-crowned sparrow. Listing her awards in the lead is fine but their importance should also be stated.

Content
The content provided is up to date and informative. Her early life is described well and goes through her PhD. It details her family, locations, and education. There needs to be some content added on her work. Explaining how she lived is great but it is not the "meat and potatoes" of her life. Explaining her life's work would be much more informative to a reader and would allow for further exploration into the world of ornithology.

Tone
The tone of this article is neutral and informative. No clear biases present.

Organization
The article is short but organized into clear, relevant sections. The grammar is good with no errors.

Images
There are no images in this article.

Talk Page
The talk page for this article has no conversations. It is part of the Wiki Education Foundation course, the WikiProject Biography, and the WikiProject Women Scientists.

Overall Impressions
For the content it currently has, the article is pretty strong. It simply lacks info about Dr. DeWolfe's accomplishments and career. Because it is lacking so much information, this article is underdeveloped. However, by simply adding the information about her research and career, this article would be very strong.
