Article evaluation
Wasn't too sure what to look at, so I'm reviewing the article on Tom Clarke since we (briefly) mentioned the Irish revolution. In the opening, Clarke is referred to as someone with the 'most' power in starting the Rising, no reference. Was he really 'the most' important? Why? Who said this? Needs references if it's going to make such a bold claim off the bat. There is not much information in the Early Life section, more needed? The quote from John Redmond seems too long. It is also odd that there is a direct reference to a historian saying Henry Wilson was the alias of Clarke right after a quote that was about Wilson. The section on the Irish Volunteers also seems out of place-- if Clarke had no part in it, why mention it, let alone give it its own section? The whole article seems to be very pro-Clarke and anti-Pearse, going so far as to cite Clarke's wife saying that he (and not Pearse) was the first president of the Republic.

Articles
Space Age:

Can look through and see which space mission needs the most work. From just browsing, it seems like a good handful of related articles need work. Have plenty of material on the topic.

Pyoyang Sally:

Really, any information added to the page would be good. There's only a basic overview of who she was and what she did. Seems really cool, though. Conversely, could add onto Seoul City Sue or something else related to conflict between North and South Korea.

Would like to do something related to The Troubles, but it's a bit controversial. If I can find unbiased information (which is highly unlikely), then maybe. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kmargis (talk • contribs) 12:58, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

Space Age edit
Checked the talk page and someone had made a good point that no one really made any attempt to say when it ended. From my research, there was a major decline in space missions after the Challenger disaster, so I am going to briefly discuss that on the page:

In the United States, the Challenger disaster marked a significant decline in manned shuttle launches. Following the disaster, NASA grounded all shuttles for safety concerns until 1988, and permanently grounded all shuttles in 2011. NASA has since relied on Russia to take American astronauts to and from the International Space Station.
