Option 1

 * Shad M. Brooks:
 * Article Evaluation:(new Article proposed) He is a political, historical, and entertainment reviewing youtuber. He has been rising to prominence over the last few years, including collaborations with the famous author Brandon Sanderson, as well as the publishing of his first novel, Chronicles of Everfall: Shadow of the Conqueror, which is another proposed entry, see option 4.

Option 2

 * Messer(weapon):
 * Article Evaluation:The article has messy imprecise writing, restructuring the sentences would help clarify much of the information. There is a fairly neutral point of view, however there is also a significant lack of citations for much of the information provided. This leads to much of the article sounding like personal opinion. In short, the article would benefit from additional sourcing and some rewriting of the text to make certain points clearer.

Option 3

 * Orthodox Stance
 * (My Chosen Article):
 * Article Evaluation:This article does a fairly good job of laying out the most basic information in a concise manner, however, much of the information could be stated in a clearer, more understandable way. Additionally, the scope of the article is very limited, despite the article being about the stance in general, only it's most basic boxing application is discussed. It's finer details and advantages, as well as how it is adapted into other combat sports and martial arts are absent. Finally, only one reference is provided.

Option 4

 * Shadow of the Conqueror (book):
 * Article Evaluation:(new article proposed) This is a novel, written by Shad Brooks, see option 1, published in 2019. It is a dark fantasy novel, inspired by other important works in the genre, specifically, the concept of the Everfall is adopted from the Dragon's Dogma video game, which has a substantial Wikipedia page. This makes the addition of this page useful as in discussing the impact of Dragon's Dogma on its own page.

Option 5

 * The Long Moonlight (book):
 * Article Evaluation:(new article proposed) This is a fantasy noir novella published by Daniel Harris, a prominent political and entertainment reviewing youtuber. As with, Shadow of the Conqueror, it is a part of the growing trend of successful independent fiction in print which, by the author's own admission, attempts to restore storytelling of this type to a higher standard than the current one. This page is a useful addition for reference in discussions of the current U.S. culture war as well as unique genre combination's, fantasy noir novellas are not very common.
