Option 1

 * Article title
 * COVID-19 vaccination in Morocco


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article overall provides good, unbiased information which is easy to read and understand, however there's a lack of citations for the numbers of vaccines distributed per month listed. It lists every months' progress besides February 2022, although this omission could be due to the information not being available to the public yet. Each monthly update is also very shot, typically only a sentence or two providing the amount of vaccines distributed (again, no sources cited on this). This section could use additional information relevant to the topic such as vaccine efficacy statistics from these times, amount of each types of vaccine administered per month, etc.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Northeast Africa


 * Article Evaluation
 * Extremely short article that only gets at the barebones of the region. Information about the general climate or the countries political cooperation with each other, for example, could help flesh out the area and provide context as to why this area deserves its own article. I noticed the talk page had some debate as to whether or not the page should be deleted for these reasons, among others. What is written, however, is well cited, which shows that information on the topic is out there and could be brought in to this article.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Comoros–United States relations


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is well cited and provides basic information about the two countries relations, however it's very short. I would recommend the article expand on the current sections listed (such as describing more about the trade the two countries conduct with each other) as well as create new sections to provide information on other relations that might exist between them (military relations for example).

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Speaker of the House of Representatives of Nigeria


 * Article Evaluation
 * A stub article throughout which only provides some surface-level information, such as who has held the office before. There's a distinct lack of describing the actual powers and authorities the Speaker holds, which really holds this article back. Reference to official Constitutional powers would give a much better idea of why the position holds importance in Nigerian politics. Perhaps a comparison section between the Nigerian Speaker of the House and U.S. Speaker of the House could draw this out further, given the connections between the two systems of government. I've also noticed a mistake on the article itself, as it claims the Speaker is in the Presidential Line of Succession, however this is not true.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * People's National Convention (Ghana)


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article lacks citations for the election results they list. There's also very little description of what the party's stances are beyond "Nkrumaism Socialism, and Pan-Africanism, making it feel more like an abstract idea rather than an actual political party. Citing a manifesto of the Party for more concrete goals and claims they've made would expand this stub article and allow for a much better understanding of what the party is.
