Option 1

 * Article title
 * Maya architecture


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article has a good general structure and well developed information, but it is rated C-Class, high importance. The reason for this has most likely to do with the warning at the top of the page, that states  This article includes a list of general references, but it remains largely unverified because it lacks sufficient corresponding inline citations.  Aside from this, I believe there is some more information that can be part of this article to make it a more complete one, more than it already is. There is existing sections that could be a expanded, like the purposes of the structures and how they were in influenced by astronomy and nature (it is mentioned, but those aspects are touched rather lightly).

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Music history


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article lacks up-to-date references and has misspelling problems. Many of the links do not work, and the information of the studies of the field are most likely not updated. The article is also missing many of the corresponding inline citations.  I consider that with the correct sources of information, the article could have a great start in the direction of improving, sections could be added but probably the best way to start would be correcting the existing errors and adding adequate citations.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Fable


 * Article Evaluation
 * Much like the other articles, this article lacks many of the corresponding inline citations. The lead section may be missing information, it doesn't synthesize the major sections of the article. The  History  section of the article seems to be missing quite a lot of information as well, only one sentence does not synthesize the origins and development of this ancient literature genre.  This article was last updated about two years ago, I consider it would be useful to add current and relevant information about the topic, add citations and eliminate some non-working external links.  New sections or more information to the existing sections could be very useful as well.
