Option 1

 * Article title:
 * Enviornmental communication ( Environmental communication - Wikipedia )


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article has a decent base however there is much to be desired with regard to the need for more information in a number of categories such as climate change communication and information technology and environmental communication that could definitely use some further elaboration among a number of other sections here. The sources cited have a good range of dates so there is some recent information on the topic as well as some from the past.


 * Sources
 * From environmental campaigns to advancing the public dialog: environmental communication for civic engagement by Robert J. Brulle
 * Does engagement in advocacy hurt the credibility of scientists? Results from a randomized national survey experiment. by John E Kotcher et .al
 * Why it matters how we frame the environment by George Lakoff

Option 2

 * Article title
 * visual communication ( Visual communication - Wikipedia )


 * Article Evaluation
 * There is a lot of good information present in this article however, much of the writing is weak in a number of places and there is much to be desired when looking at many sections especially those that are not under the politics sub heading as this section has many subcategories within it that deal with the idea of visual communication and the function it plays in politics. There is very little information on the beginning of the field so this is an area that I think deserves more attention.


 * Sources
 * Race and visibility how and why visual images of Black Lives Matter
 * Storied lives on Instagram: factors associated with the need for personal-visual identity
 * On Black Panthers, Blue Ribbons, & Peace Signs: The Function of Symbols in social campaigns

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Eye Contact ( Eye contact - Wikipedia )


 * Article Evaluation
 * There is a good base here for what eye contact is, but it is not much more than a base. There are some categories that contain only a singular sentence. The article is sparse in terms of everything so it is hard to really evaluate it critically, but this is likely a result of the fact that there is only so much that can be discussed with regard to eye contact.


 * Sources
 * The role of "Active Listening" in informal helping conversations: Impact on perceptions of listener helpfulness, sensitivity, and supportiveness and discloser emotional improvement.
