Option 1

 * Article title
 * Terry Mosher


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is rated as Start class and therefore, I believe I can develop the page quite effectively. Terry Mosher, also known under the pseudonym Aislin, is a Canadian political cartoon artist. The page currently only has 3 sections and I believe I could expand the controversy section by citing Mosher's cartoons. I would divide the cartoons up into sections with issues his cartoons address.

 * Book: In Your Face

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Quebec Ban on Religious Symbols


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is rated C-class and had a banner under the "Reactions" section explaining that the section highlighted one point of view more than the others. I feel like I could fill that content gap with research about other points of view revolving around Bill 21. Since the passing of this bill is quite recent, I believe I could find many sources highlighting differing view points. I also believe I could expand the other sections by providing more sources and inline citations that may be lacking. There have also been a few updates in the court cases challenging the bill.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Charter of French Language


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is rated B and is quite well developed. The sections are well organized and developed. However, in the "Legal Dispute" section, there is a banner indicating that the information in that section is not sourced. I would first work by addressing the lack of inline citations in the section and expand the section as well. I would also add more recent information in relation to the status of the sub sections of "status of the French language."

Option 4

 * Article title
 * The Giver


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is rated C-class. The first thing I would work towards improving would be the section discussing "literary significance and criticism" and possibly find more sources that highlight these ideas. I would also edit the format of the page so that it mimics the one Wikipedia offers for a book.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * The Handmaid's Tale


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is rated C class. I would begin by expanding the "critical reception" section and adding more subtopics to allow the article to flow more effectively. I would move the "legitimate women" and "ceremony" sections into a separate one than under setting.
