User talk:Lhoward429/Evaluate an Article

Very nice work evaluating the sources for Lowell mill girls! You make some astute criticisms, including about the lack of diversity of researchers and writers who have studied the mill girls. You'll be interested to know that one of the early mill workers, Betsey Guppy Chamberlain, might have been of part Native American descent; the article lists her under its Notable People section at the end, but doesn't note anything about racial diversity or the lack thereof. Though many immigrant groups (like the Irish) were not regarded as white, 19th c. mill work was not really open to populations that would be considered people of color now.

Also by the way, you can flag broken links; see Template:Dead link for instructions and advice (including how you can search for an archived link to a website and substitute that for the broken one, rather than have to take all the information down). I encourage you to consider doing this, as part of your work on the project; or to make the note/suggestion on the article's Talk Page so that somebody else might realize the problem and work on correcting it.

By the way, congrats -- you have edited Wikipedia by publishing this evaluation under your User Page!
