Article Evaluation

The article I looked at for my evaluation was Atlantic history. Everything appeared to be relevant in the article, but it seemed to lack in information in many areas. It is neutral toward the explanation of what Atlantic history is. However, it does not go into much detail about anything. There are a few notes linked to particular information within the article, but the bibliography is just laid out with no direct relation back to the article's information. For me, this made the article difficult to analyze. The information was not directly cited back to the many books and journal articles listed in the bibliography. There were ten notes, but nearly thirty sources listed. However, the most confusing aspect was the fact that none of the sources listed in the bibliography were those used in the notes. The sources listed in the bibliography would be considered reliable as they were mostly books written by people considered to be experts in the field. The information is not out of date, but there is definitely information that needs to be added.

After reading the article, I looked at the article's talk page and history. Through this, I determined that the page may have been quickly thrown together as part of a WikiProject without much thought or consideration put into most of the information. The talk page tells that the person that submitted the information noticed there was not one and "whipped this up". The article is rated with a mid-importance and in the start-class for quality. This article is in need of much time and work to be of significant usefulness in studying the history of the Atlantic World. If editing this article, I would add information on what the Atlantic World is and why it is important to study this as part of history.

Article for Class Assignment

As someone who is interested in history and my concentration being in history and particularly the Women's Suffrage Movement, the article I see most fitting for me to edit is that of Rebecca Latimer Felton. This article on Mrs. Felton lacks much information regarding her time as an advocate for women. The portions that are included are only basic information and do not include any worthy details about her work. This page would be the most interesting to me to research and work on as someone who is interested in her work in gaining rights for women. I plan to add information about her early and personal life and her time as an advocate for women's rights.
