Option 1

 * Article title:Ainu language
 * Article Evaluation:The lead of the page does give a sentence that introduces the topic. However, the lead does not include a brief introduction of the major sections, and has information that cannot be found late in the page. The article has a neutral tone with no one view point overly represented. The content is all relevant to the topic and seems to be up-to-date. Some of the facts do not have a source. Some of the links are outdated. Most of the sources already use are reliable, and their links work. The topic is about historically underrepresented topics. The writing of the article is clear and concise with few grammatical errors. All the sections are well divided as well. No images, but it does have a sound file. Most of the conversation in the Talk page is about whether this page should be merged with the Ainu languages page.

Option 2

 * Article title:Ryukyu Islands
 * Article Evaluation:Lead section is very well written. It introduces the article and briefly talks about the major sections of the article. All the content is relevant. Most of the information has a source or refrence, but there are a few sections that are missing it. The tone is balanced, offering some different viewpoint, but not favoring any. The article is well written, consice, and seperated well into the main sections and subsections. The article is a level 4 vital article, high-importance, and is rated c-class. The conversations in the Talk section are about joining this sections with another and clearly defining what are the Ryukyu islands. This article needs some sources for some of the facts.

Option 3

 * Article title:Okinawan language
 * Article Evaluation:The lead is well made. All the content is relevant but might need more details. The tone is neutral and presents other viewpoints equally. There is a lot of information that is missing a source or reference. The article is well written and organized. They use two images: a map is used to show where Okinawan is spoken in Okinawa, and there is a picture of a sign to show that some people still speak Okinawan outside of Japan. The article is rated high-importance and C-class. The conversation are mostly about how Okinawan compares to Japanese. I think this article is missing some more information on the Japanization of Okinawa.

Option 4

 * Article title:Kunigami language
 * Article Evaluation:The lead's introductary sentence does a good job in introducing the article. The lead is concise, but does not touch on two of the major sections. The content is relevant but seems to be missing a lot of information. Much of the information is missing any sources or references. The tone is neutral with no viwepoints represented. There is a map used to show where Kunigami is spoken in Okinawa. This article is rated low-importance start class, The converstion are about words, phonetics, and comparing Kunigami to Southern and Central Okinawan. I think this article is missing a comparison with the other Ryukyu langauges and more of its history.

Option 5

 * Article title:Okinawan Japanese
 * Article Evaluation:The lead introductory sentence does not introduce Okinawan Japanese as a dialect. It does introduce the main points of the article, but might need more information. All the content is relevant, but needs to be further elaborated upon. The tone of the article is neutral. There are many facts that don't have a source or reference. However, the organization and writing of the article is good. They put one image of a sign that shows how Okinawan Japanese borrows from English. The article is mid-importance and rated start-class. The conversations involve correcting English or Japanese spelling. The article needs more information on how and why Okinawan Japanese borrows so much from English.
