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

Option 1

 * Article title: Disorganized offender
 * Lead:  There is a strong starting sentence, but besides that, there is no lead. I would want to bulk this section up a bit more and add some more introductory information.
 * Content: There are strong parts of the article where the content is relevant and succinct. On the other hand, there are also areas where there could be improvement (for example, expanding on the idea or specifying certain definitions or examples). I think there are some strong sentences here but I would want to develop this piece a bit more.
 * Tone and Balance: At times, the tone seems biased towards one particular source. I know that the theory in this article is represented by the author, but I would want to go back and rephrase a couple of points to make it less biased and base it off of more sources. :
 * Sources: As mentioned above, there are only a few sources and one of them is heavily used/cited in the article. I would want to research much more and find other scholarly sources to add. :
 * Organization and Writing Quality: The organization is quite nice in this article; the information flows well and the content is direct and clear. I do want to strengthen some of the ideas mentioned and build off of them, but otherwise there is a good start here with organization. :
 * Images and Media: There are no images, but I also understand that it would be hard to put an image for this piece. I will be brainstorming and doing some research regarding the images I want to add, but I understand it is a bit more complicated for this topic. :
 * Talk page: The talk page is pretty minimal, there are a few minor changes added but not one "main" contributor. :
 * Overall discussion: I think this is a strong candidate for my article. I see some points for improvement but also believe it has a base structure that will be helpful in drafting! :
 * Sources: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/wicked-deeds/201806/organized-versus-disorganized-serial-predators

Option 2

 * Article title: Coca-Cola Clear
 * Lead: There is no lead (or a very minimal one at best). It is not divided up from the rest of the information, so it honestly just acts as an introduction sentence to the paragraph and not a lead for the article. :
 * Content: The content seems sturdy and straightforward. It is very surface-level and doesn't really delve deeper into other ideas, which I what I would want to add when editing. I think there are some strong sentences, but I see room for improvement as well. :
 * Tone and Balance: The tone is very unbiased and factual. I also believe that the author did an excellent job keeping opinion out of the piece and instead only wrote what was discovered through research. :
 * Sources: There are a few sources listed, but I would want to add a few more. Also, all of the sources are from news-related media (which is okay), but I would prefer if there were a few more articles that supported the article and weren't news articles.
 * Organization and Writing Quality: Organization is okay, I liked how they divided it up into different sections. For writing quality, the structure seems a bit repetitive and not very descriptive. I would want to go back and add more detail and evidence to the points made. :
 * Images and Media: I really like the picture on this page, I think it fits in well and honestly I wouldn't change it unless I found a problem with it later down the road. :
 * Talk page: The talk page is almost empty. There is the WikiProject information on there, but otherwise it is pretty bare. :
 * Overall discussion: This is also a really strong candidate! I would want to really go through and re-structure some things, but I think I can see this as an option to edit. :

Option 3

 * Article title: Ballistic Impact
 * Lead: The article is so short that I definitely would say adding a lead would be helpful. There is no opening, just one stand-alone paragraph that acts as the entire piece. :
 * Content: The content is reliable and is succinct, but there is a very limited amount of it. The content is factual and straightforward, but I would delve deeper into many of the topics lightly touched on but not described in the piece already. :
 * Tone and Balance: The factual tone of the piece is refreshing, so there isn't any hidden opinion or bias that I need to take out. I would change the structure of a couple of sentences to avoid repetition, but otherwise this article has a pretty strong neutral tone. :
 * Sources: There are a few sources, but they are a bit outdated. I would want to add some more sources that are within the last ten years and also look into some scientific journals to add. :
 * Organization and Writing Quality: There is only one paragraph, so I can't really comment on the organization. For having one paragraph, it is organized well, but I would need to develop a lot of points before considering organization. :
 * Images and Media: There are no images for this page. I have a few ideas on what to put in for photos, but have not narrowed down to my final option yet. :
 * Talk page: There is no talk page besides addressing the WikiProject information. I would definitely hope to expand this. :
 * Overall discussion: Out of the 3 I evaluated, this one seems the toughest. I'm not sure I would be able to effectively input all of the changes I would want to add in this time frame. :
