Article Evaluation
The article that I chose to evaluate was an article on library science because that is my major and the field I hope to be in one day. I felt like this article did a really nice job of explaining what exactly library science is. However, I think that the article needs to add some more detail about how technology is effecting libraries, they had a small paragraph on it but I feel like there is so much new information about technology in libraries. The article offered other resources to read if people wanted more information. I felt like besides the technology aspect the page did a great job of explaining all kinds of good information on libraries such as types of libraries and gender equality in libraries. To me the article seemed to be very neutral and was just providing the facts without a bias towards one idea or another. As I said before I feel like the impact of technology on libraries was a little bit under represented but besides that I felt like everything was pretty well represented.

I clicked on a few links and they are seemed to work just fine. The sources did connect back to the information in the article and provided readers with additional information on different aspects of libraries such as the American Library Association. The links lead me to reliable sources that provided just facts to readers without any real bias. All the sources appeared to just be neutral and giving facts to the users. A lot of the chat in the talk page for this article was the fact that it was very US centric and that it needed more information on libraries in other countries. This article is part of a Wikiproject, which is where I originally found it. I was rated as a C-class because it needs more information to improve it.Ellie1203 (talk) 18:28, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

Article Selection
American Library Association: One big problem I notice with this article is it has very little information about membership in the ALA and does not say how you can become a member. Also the information they do have on memberships is very outdated and I was able to located updated information on the ALA's website. I feel like that information may be important to add so people can understand exactly what membership means and how they can get it. The article seemed to be neutral to me and just stated the facts about the ALA and talked about different things that the ALA does. The citations appear to be reliable and up to date, although the membership information is out of date. I think it is a pretty good article that covers the information well besides the lack of membership information.

Library Science: This article is not biased in any way and provides just the facts about the library science field. Most of the information is up to date however, I feel like more information should be added on technology in libraries. There is so much great information about how technologies are effecting both patrons and library staff members. The information the article provides about technology and libraries is also from four years ago and so much more technology has been integrated into libraries. The ALA provides articles with information about different types of technologies and how they are effecting libraries. I think that the article would be much improved if it had some more up to date information about technology and libraries.

Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International (PATH Intl.): This article lacks a lot of key information about PATH and could really benefit from having more information added to it. The article does not contain any information about the founding of PATH or any of it's history. The information the article does provide is out of date as well. I would want to add a little bit about the history to the article as well as adding information about how programs have accreditation and how many people this organization helps. I was able to find a lot of good information about these statistics on PATH's website including an updated fact sheet with how many people they are currently helping.

Special Olympics: This article has been well kept and updated nicely. As I was browsing through the talk page I noticed that someone mentioned that the page did not mention any of the supporters of Special Olympics. I found this kinda of surprising because there are a lot of celebrities support the Special Olympics and advocate for them. Celebrities also provide a lot of finical support to the Special Olympics and their athletes. I think it may be good to add a section about this topic to show just what effect Special Olympics has had on people all over the world and show the importance of it. I think it is important to show everyone how much of an impact Special Olympics truly has on the world.Ellie1203 (talk) 19:41, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
