Option 1

 * Article title
 * Eckhart Tolle


 * Article Evaluation
 * The title of this page is short and simple. The first sentence of his Wikipedia page is direct and useful, clearly identifying Eckhart Tolle as the subject with his name in bold lettering along with a brief description. The information in the body of the article seems accurate and reliable since there are no lengthy quotations, but instead a variety of citations used to support claims that can all be found in the “References” section. The “Article” tab displays the main page on Eckhart Tolle, containing an “Info box” with key facts and an image of Eckhart Tolle in 2010. The “Lead” section offers a clear overview of Eckhart Tolle. There is a “Contents” box listing the major topics (headings) that are listed within the Wikipedia page. It is clear that the article has been updated since there is information pertaining to COVID-19 and the bottom of the page indicates that the information was last updated March 10, 2021. Located in the top right corner of this page is a green plus enclosed with a green circle, which indicates that this is a “Good Article.” The “View History” tab presents the modifications that have been made, displaying a timeline of who, how, why and when changes have been made to the article. My overall impression is that this is page is well-developed with quality content.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Punky (TV series)


 * Article Evaluation
 * This title of this page is simple yet clear with the word "Punky" italicized and bolded. There is a warning banner a the top of this page stating that this page needs to be updated. The first sentence of the page identifies that the page is about (TV Series). The lead section is fragmented as it is very short, only consisting of one sentence and needs expanding if possible. There is a box on this page that displays key information including the genre, creator, writer, production date, etc. about the Punky TV series. Upon reading the "Talk" page, I can see there is no active or current conversation pertaining to this page. The only piece of information displayed on the Talk page was added in 2012 and states that the page "reads like a press release." Press releases are considered poor sources since they are promotional material and Wikipedia content is required to be neutral in tone. This page also has an underdeveloped references section with only five citations in total. There are also no images or media presented on this page. My overall impressions is that this was a tough page to evaluate since there are scarce amount of sources associated with it. The page has very little content about the TV series and it is also very similar to the page "Punky Brewster" which can be confusing.
