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

Option 1

 * Collective consciousness (Collective consciousness)
 * This article describes the "Collective consciousness" which is the general public's perception of the world, the set of beliefs based on those views as well as behaviours that result from said views. This article is very interesting because it discusses a somewhat unified way of living in a particular society and after reading it, it becomes clear how collective consciousness relates to any given society's norms and collective values.


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article needs to be rewritten in some parts to give it a more neutral and impersonal lense.


 * Sources
 * N/A

Option 2

 * Childhood studies (Childhood studies)
 * This page is about the studies on childhood. Childhood studies is meant to analyse and compare diffferent childhoods across generations and how they impact other aspects of life, such as sociology and the study of behaviour. This article mainly discusses how childhood studies was created and its developments thus far.


 * Article Evaluation
 * Basic spelling and grammar checks are required for this article.


 * Sources
 * N/A

Option 3

 * Cover art (Cover art)
 * This topic is interesting for me, as a communications student, because cover art is often than not designed and used to sell a piece of art. This means the design must appeal to whatever patrons might buy it by properly demonstrating a visual of what the music (in the instance of cover art for a music album) is about.


 * Article Evaluation
 * I would like to add more information to the "Magazine cover" section because it only has one line worth of information.

Option 4

 * Visual design elements and principles (Visual design elements and principles)
 * This page is important to my course of Communications because of its implications in the nonverbal communications field. Images and other visual things (and their elements) often spell out an idea of what they are supposed to represent. Different colours used on certain symbols can indicate actions that must be completed, places to avoid and other nonverbal information.


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article needs more citations, as there are only 4 references to reinforce the information included, as well as needing more varied opinions and expertise. It also needs a tonal correction; to be written more neutrally and/or objectively. Lastly, there is unnecessary information that can be removed.

Option 5

 * News design (News design)
 * This article is important, in my opinion and to the subject of Communications as a whole, because it describes the arrangement and origin of one of the most historically influencial pieces of communication: newspapers.


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article requires more sources to back up all of the information presented. The article, so far relies on only a few sources, 3 to be precise and only one of which had an in-text citation to clarify which information came from where. One of said 3 sources, that were included thus far, is unavailable or nonexistent. I would also like to see if more information can be added to the last two sections: "Design options" and "Notable news designers".
