Option 1

 * Article title:Amrit
 * Article Evaluation:In terms of the evaluation, the article's content is relevant to the topic that I want to write about which has to do with the use of stadiums in Phoenicia. I want to know what kind of sports or activities took place in a place like the Phoenician stadium that was excavated in Amrit, or modern day Tartus, in Syria. This article is written in a neutral manner and each claim does have a citation as far as I can tell thus far. The citations are reliable and I think that I could write more on what Labib Bouutros has written about the purpose of Amrit Stadium. Continually, the talk pages discuss the possibility of merging the articles and Amrit and Amrita because of their similarity. Also there is talk about grammar issues and typos that need to be cleaned up. This article does not tackle one of Wikipedia's equity gaps.
 * Sources:Running list of sources so far:
 * Dr. Boutros Labib., "The Phoenician stadium of Amrit", The Olympic Review, No. 112, February 1977
 * These are from the article already, working on finding more.

Option 2

 * Article title:Phoenicians and Wine
 * Article Evaluation:Another topic that I found interesting is how the production of different goods have changed over the years and have stemmed from a place like ancient Phoenicia. This article is relevant to this topic because it talks about how wine expanded from Phoenicia around the Mediterranean and is supported by both shipwrecks and different archeological finds. It is written in a neutral manner with proper citation for each claim as I can tell so far. The first few citations I have checked are reliable, but will continue to look into them. The article does not tackle one of Wikipedia's equity gaps. Currently, there is nothing happening on the talk page, looks like there is room for improvement on this article. It is rated B-class on the content assessment scale and is of interest to the wine and Phoenicia WikiProjects that are both still on going.
 * Sources:My working list of sources includes:
 * Johnson, H. (1989). Vintage: The Story of Wine. Simon and Schuster. pp. 18–43, 61–86 & 106. ISBN 0-671-68702-6
 * Aubet, María Eugenia (6 September 2001). The Phoenicians and the West: politics, colonies and trade. ISBN 9780521795432.
 * These are from the article already, working on finding more.

Option 3

 * Article title:Phoenician Joints
 * Article Evaluation:I believe that another part of the production of goods, is how they would trade them. To understand this, the first thing that I thought of was the use of Phoenician joints in their ships to travel around the Mediterranean. This article is written neutrally with reliable sources attached to each claim throughout the article. This article does not tackle one of Wikipedia's equity gaps. In terms of the talk page, there is definitely some chatter happening. First off, this article is rated GA-class and is involved in the technology and Phoenicia Wikiprojects. Within the talk page they discuss too much detail being in the lead, caption length for certain pictures, and more. Overall, this may be a hard one for me to contribute too but will continue to monitor it.
 * Sources:Will continue to look at new sources for this, but has been a challenging task to find new ones thus far. I am curious if there is any literature on what caused ships to sink and need underwater diving technology to discover.
 * Bellwood et al. 2007, p. 13.
 * This source isn mentioned in article, will continue looking for new ones that will help contribute to the article.
