I am a Geography major at Texas State Univeristy minoring in Public Administration, and have created an account on this site for my Intro to Public Administration class project. Through this experience I hope to gain a more extensive knowledge of both how to use Wikipedia as well as learn more about my minor.

Article Evaluation
The article I decided to critique is called Njáll. According to this wikipage, it is an old Viking given name native to Iceland and other Scandinavian countries. Some suggestions I would make for improving the overall quality and credibility of this article would be to cite more references and their corresponding footnotes from credible sources, that way we as readers can confirm that the information in this article is reliable. Adding more links which take readers to other articles could certainly give additional information that may provide insight into this particular article. Other suggestions that would make this article better include adding a proper table of contents, perhaps some pictures and other graphics to visually enhance the information provided, and last but not least, simply provide more information in general. In fact, my biggest suggestion for this article would be to add more credible information to it, since it is currently lacking any real substance. --Ehylemon (talk) 00:35, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
