Option 1

 * Article title
 * Linus's law


 * Article Evaluation
 * I have evaluated this one before, but the article needs a rewrite.


 * Sources

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Q4OS


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article lacks an image of the operating system. Perhaps I can add one since I am familiar with this OS. Other than that, it needs a chart of the version history and more detail on its features.
