Option 1
[edit]- Article title
- Agnosticism
- Article Evaluation
- This article seems developed well, but specifically the surveys/polling is pretty outdated. The most recent one was 2010, so it is likely that some of the other information in the article is outdated as well. The tone seemed unbiased including views of agnosticism from the point of view of both theists and atheists while keeping the authors personal opinion nonexistent. The "qualifying agnosticism" section in the article on contains two sentence from the point of view of one philosopher so that should have more detail.

Option 2
[edit]- Article title
- Dungeon Master
- Article Evaluation
- This article does a good evaluation of the general role of a DM during Dungeons and Dragons. However, there is a section that should be discussing examples in fiction and lists just a single example. As Dungeons and Dragons is quite popular, I can think of a few shows or examples to be added to the list. The article lacks any sort of pictures except a small one of a D&D group in a session.

Option 3
[edit]- Article title
- Socialism
- Article Evaluation
- The article is highly debated about its neutrality and its text's relevancy. Often the article is straying from socialism and is talking instead about communism or capitalism. Or even, it just spends too much time on one topic, but not another. This has a very active talk page and a wiki project.

Option 4
[edit]- Article title
- Fry and The Slurm Factory
- Article Evaluation
- This article has a good basic plot summary, although I think it could be slightly more detailed and its paragraph organization is slightly bizarre. In addition it has 2 pop culture references in the same paragraph, although all the others are listed separately and independently. Also it could include information about its references and reappearances in other episodes.
