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: Timeline of Christian Missions
 * Article Evaluation: This article acts as a time line to show the evolution and growth of Christian ministries which is relevant to my topic. It includes the year of each event and some events have supplemental links to show where that information came from. Not all claims have a citation which should be fixed in order to ensure the information is thoroughly backed up. Because this article is more of a timeline rather than in paragraph form, it is stating historical facts from other sources rather than being biased towards an idea. In order to be a more reliable article, each fact should have a citation with it so it can be fact checked.
 * Sources:
 * History of Christianity
 * Christianity in the 1st century
 * Acts of the Apostles
 * Christianity in the 1st century
 * Acts of the Apostles

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Missionary


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article speaks on the different missionaries as well as the criticism and impact of the missionaries which shows it is somewhat neutrally written. Images are included with the links to the source to provide extra information to the reader. The images are well integrated into the article and the links work correctly so you can find the source easily. While this article talks about the history of missionaries, it also discusses the modern era of missionaries which is more in depth than the previous article. Additionally, the article speaks on the idea that missions lack respect for other cultures which is an important aspect and covers Wiki's equity gaps.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * John Allen Chau
 * Article Evaluation
 * While this article is shorter than the others, it directly speaks on the missionary John Allen Chau which is where my original research first started. Because he is directly related to my research topic and gives more insight than I was able to originally find, this article would work well for my research. The information is cited with seemingly credible sources and seems neutrally written with no intentions of persuading people. The Sentinelese culture was somewhat discussed which is important to share that they are indigenous people who own that land. There are 20 references which is a large amount for such a short essay and many of the references are from different perspectives with help make the article not bias.
