Colleen
[edit]Early life: Non-existent in current article. Difficult to find via online sources and book jacket covers. Some information on her husband (deceased) and possibly her children found in husbands 2012 obituary. Education: This section will mostly pull from the current Intro paragraph and give the sequence of events a bit more depth.
Dorian
[edit]Scholarly work: This section is already in the existing article, it just may need to be reworded so it is not just a list. The hyperlinks also need to be tested out. Her two major books (ie Bureau Men, Settlement Women: Constructing Public Administration in the Progressive Era, Government is Us: Public Administration in an Anti-government Era) will be summarized.

Article Evaluation
[edit]As of today, there is a short summary/bio that serves as the existing Wiki article on Camilla Stivers. The existing article gives a decent brief summary for someone who is just trying to get the gist of who she is. We as a group believe that some parts of the existing summary should be relocated to other categories/topics in the article. After this is completed, we need to make the summary portion a little more of a general synopsis of who Camilla Stivers is while being more specific in each individual category/topic. According to the “Quality Grading Scheme”, our existing article should be rated as a “Start”. An article with a “start” rating is one that is developing, but is incomplete. It might or might not cite adequate reliable sources and it provides some meaningful content, but still missing a lot of information as well. Our article is developing but has no references at all. All of the parts of the existing entry are clearly relevant to the topic. Overall, the article only includes academic information and a list of her published works. This does not allow the reader to understand the full depth of her contributions to the public administration field or the theories that she has developed. In the revisions, we plan to use similar information that is currently in the article. However, we will also include pertinent information regarding her biographical background.
