User talk:AbbSe37/Evaluate an Article

Great review, AbbSe37! Your critiques are good, although you may be a tad too optimistic about the sources/information we have about Servilia aside from her sexual/romantic relationships. Unfortunately, this happens a lot to women in ancient history (bc information about their lives appears largely in written works by men, about men). I hope that you are able to dig up some primary and secondary scholarship that fills out her life a bit more. In terms of linking to sources, typically linking to Google Books is accepted, although it's obviously much more helpful if the Google Books link has a preview. You're absolutely right, the pearl link is definitely not a reliable source, just someone's blog post, it seems? I'm glad you chose this topic, because clearly this page needs lots of improvement. I'm really looking forward to seeing how this progresses over the course of the semester! Grade: 10/10. Gardneca (talk) 13:39, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
