Article Selection

[edit]

Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

[edit]
Article title: Julie Makani
Article Evaluation: This wikipedia article on Julie Makani is well-structured, as it covers her background, education, research, and accolades. It has citations, mostly clear grammar (free of major errors), and the tone is neutral. The one section that's not included is speaking upon her early life, so if I were to work on her, I would add a section about her upbringing.
Sources: Julie Makani

Option 2

[edit]
Article title: Leetile Disang Raditladi
Article Evaluation: This wikipedia article on Laetrile Dsang Raditladi is poorly structured. Although it covers bits and pieces of her life accomplishments, if I were to work on her, I would implement subcategories, such as "early life", "awards", "education", and "after death". The tone is neutral, there are a handful of citations, but could be more, and the grammar needs work.
Sources: Leetile Disang Raditladi

Option 3

[edit]
Article title: Bibi Titi Mohammed
Article Evaluation: I think this article out of all the articles I'mm interested in editing is the most structurally sound, nicely edited article. Although, I think certain sections, such as the "UWT", "Arrest and Detention", and "Death and Late Recognitions" all could have more information added possibly from online pdf's, articles, etc. This article could also use more citations.
Sources: Bibi Titi Mohammed

Option 4

[edit]
Article title: Issa G. Shivji
Article Evaluation: Overall, this article provides a comprehensive overview on his life, work, and contributions. It highlights Shivji's expertise in constitutional law and his advocacy in addressing issues of legal exploitation in Tanzania. If I were to work on Shivji, I would add more citations and try to find more information about any sort of awards or honors that he's received from his community.
Sources: Issa G. Shivji

Option 5

[edit]
Article title: Veneranda Nzambazamariya
Article Evaluation: This article would be an ideal one to work on because there is zero information about Veneranda Nzambazamariya. All there is on this article is a very short sentence of who she was and an award she won. Because there is essentially no information, there are only 3 citations in this entire article.
