Article Evaluation
Evaluating Content: Everything in the article is relevant to the topic. There was not enough information to really get distracted by anything while reading the article. All of the information in the article is factual and biographical. While the information and resources are relatively dated, they are still relevant due to their bibliographical nature. There is a significant amount of information missing on her personal life. All that is included is her education, there are no family members or early life references and that could add a lot to the article. Overall, the biggest improvement that could be made to this article is the addition of information. The information given is factually sound there just isn't a lot of it. Also, the information is mostly reflecting her academic and career life. It could add a lot to include more about her personal life.\

Evaluating Tone: I would say the article is very neutral. All of the information given is properly cited and very fact based, there is not a clear opinion expressed. For the most part all that is represented is a timeline, so there aren't really any viewpoints to be represented, either too much or too little.

Evaluating Sources: There is only one reference source supporting the claims in the article. This source appears to be reliable and support the article well. Yes, while there is only one reference source, the small amount of information shared is supported by this source, there is no unsupported information. The information comes from a biographical book. This is a questionably neutral source, it is not an autobiography so it is written by a third party, but it is a collection of biographies that are all similar so there may be some noticeable bias. This possible bias is not noted but is also not obviously present in the article.

Evaluating the Talk Page: There are not currently any conversations going on in the talk page. The article is rated as mostly start class and middle importance. It is a part of the Women in Red WikiProject. This is not a topic we have yet discussed in class but I don't expect it to differ much considering the nature of the article.

Evaluating an Article: Mary Bowman
I chose to evaluate and attempt to add to the article covering female economist Mary Bowman. The article that is currently live seems to be accurate and backed by a reputable source. I will attempt to find more sources in order to elaborate and further develop her article. Unfortunately, there are not many sources on female economists so it will take some digging to find any new information. BrookeStrausbaugh (talk) 02:44, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

I like this draft. It's a good start. You'll want proof read your article though and please do not refer to a female professor by their first name. Look at other articles on well-known academics and follow their style. I'd like to know more about her work: how has it influence public policy or other academics. Also, do you have a photo?Cassell04 (talk) 01:30, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
