HUGHES, Arnold (1982). "THE LIMITS OF 'CONSOCIATIONAL DEMOCRACY' IN THE GAMBIA". Civilisations. 32/33: 65–95. ISSN 0009-8140 &#x2013; via JSTOR.
 * Article title: “Muslim Congress Party”
 * Article Evaluation: Overall, although the article’s content is relevant to the topic in that it identities when it was founded and from where, doing it in a neutral manner, it is missing some key information, it is lacking a clear structure, and not every claim has a citation. First, in terms of the article missing some key information, it doesn’t give insight into the reason why the Party’s was established, the reason why the Party eventually was brought into the Democratic Party, and the Party’s accomplishments. Also, the article currently reads as a collection of facts that is not organized in a way that promotes further research, perhaps benefiting from a more structured format that mainly includes a section on the Party’s establishment, its incorporation into the Democratic Party, and its legacy. Lastly, every claim is not properly cited, being a violation of Wikipedia’s plagiarism policies and not really contributing towards the advancement of research.

Option 2
Ceesay, Ebrima K. (2020-04-14). "Employment in agriculture, migration, bilateral aids, economic growth and remittance: Evidence from the Gambia". Economics, Management and Sustainability. 5(1): 48–67. ISSN 2520-6303.
 * Article title: “Economy of the Gambia”
 * Article Evaluation: Overall, the article is a good start in providing an overview of The Gambia’s economy, but it is missing a historical exploration of the country’s economic state, not every claim is properly sourced, and the, “Agriculture,” and, “Industry,” sections, especially the former section, under the, “Economic sectors,” heading could benefit from having articles be written about them and those articles then being linked to the article on the country’s economy. First, although the article does a good job at presenting statistics that appropriately captures the country’s economy, it doesn’t give insight into how the country’s economy has actually developed over time, not being helpful for research on the entire economic state of the country. Also, not every claim has a citation, which means that some of its sentences are in violation of Wikipedia’s plagiarism policies and are not meaningful for further research. Lastly, the first two sections under the, “Economic sectors,” heading perhaps deserve to be their own articles as the section on tourism is as currently, one only gets statistics without any meaning behind them regarding the development of the country’s economic sectors. The above is especially important for the, “Agriculture,” section where the article states at the beginning that agriculture is a major sector to The Gambia’s economy.

Rupiya, Martin Revayi (2020). "&#x3C;i&#x3E;Political History of Equatorial Guinea: "The Rise and Entrenchment of Nguemism"&#x3C;/i&#x3E; (Geoffrey Wood, 2004: p. 548)". Advances in Historical Studies. 09 (03): 98–112. doi:10.4236/ahs.2020.93009. ISSN 2327-0438.
 * Article title: “Politics of Equatorial Guinea”
 * Article Evaluation: The article does present an appropriately clear overview of the political system and structure in Equatorial Guinea, but not every claim is properly cited and there is a relative underdevelopment of some headings compared to others. In regards to the lack of citations, the majority of claims don’t have citations, which is a major problem in terms of being a violation of Wikipedia’s plagiarism policies and not welcoming further research. Also, although the article is very careful in presenting the country’s political system in a clear and organized manner, breaking the article up into the executive, legislative, and judicial branches as well as into a heading on political parties, the, “Political conditions,” and the, “Executive branch,” headings are clearly more developed than the other sections, perhaps reflecting a need to further research into the other headings and expand them.
