Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

 * Deaf education
 * This article has a decent description of deaf education and some historical points. However, it does not offer any information about deaf education in countries besides the United States and Europe. Therefore, there are misrepresented populations that need to be included. Overall, the article is written neutrally and has some citations, but it needs more to be a fully complete article.

Option 2

 * ASL interpreting
 * This article provides a decent background into ASL interpreting. However, some of the language seems to not follow neutrality and there are a lot of missing/incorrect citations. The wording in the article tends to lean toward negative connotations, such as using the words "difficult" or "complicated" to describe signing. Instead, the words should be more neutral and not lean toward one side. As for the citations, there needs to be better representation overall. Some claims are made without any citations at all, such as the sentence "Sometimes these judgement calls and various linguistic barriers[clarification needed] cause the interpreters to affect the flow of conversation".

Option 3

 * Models of deafness
 * This article is organized into three tiers, however, there are a lot of issues within those. For one, there are a lot of claims made without citations and a lack of references involved. Besides that, there are a lot of sections that don't make sense and are being discussed on the Wikipedia talk page since they are not easily comprehensible. This article needs better citations and references for their claims as well as a clear, concise section on the social model of deafness.

Option 4

 * Deaf cinema
 * This article has no inherent issues, but I believe it could be updated to include more modern films and deaf cinema representations. For example, the latest film it has listed is from 2017, however, since then there has been a lot of deaf representation in film. For example, the film CODA that just won an Oscar! I also believe there could be more historical points included about how deaf cinema came around and where it is now.

Option 5

 * Deaf history
 * Similar to two articles above, this article makes a lot of claims with a lack of verification in citations. The main section that needs some serious work in citations is the timeline section which describes the timeline of deaf rights/representation in the world. A lot of these time points don't have any citations proving their accuracy, such as:
 * 355 B.C.: Ancient Greeks deny deaf education; Aristotle believed that "Deaf people could not be educated without hearing, people could not learn," and those "born deaf become senseless and incapable of reason.". The Greeks also viewed the Greek language as perfect and anyone who could not speak to be a barbarian, thus deaf people were barbarians.[citation needed]
