Option 1
Article title

Email marketing


 * Article Evaluation
 * -WikiProject start | mid
 * I find that the content in the article is relevant to the topic, and remains neutral throughout the article. Under the Legal Requirement section, there is more detail towards the United States rather than the other countries listed. I'm not sure if that is because they couldn't find relevant discussion on the other countries or not, but it does come across that the information containing email marketing might lean more true to just the United States.  The article is also missing citations.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Promotion (marketing)
 * Article Evaluation
 * -WikiProject stub | high
 * The marketing articles seem to overlap with a lot of other articles on Wiki, but the subjects cohere with each other, so it would make since that would they cover similar topic. I feel the way to change this would be to have one broad article covering all the topics of marketing then narrowing it down to each individual subtopic. The article content is relevant but does seem to be lacking detail on the topic, and the tone remains neutral throughout. There are some citations but the article could benefit from more reliability. As stated above, it would also be beneficial to include additional information on the topic.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Communication studies
 * Article Evaluation
 * -WikiProject start | top
 * The articles contents are relevant to the topic, however; the article is missing citations throughout. The article does remain neutral but does seem to be biased towards the United States and Canada since those are the only countries covered in the article. I find that putting more of an emphasis on the time-line of communication studies and how it has changed throughout the years would be beneficial to this article. Starting from its founding and beginning practices to modern day communication studies, highlighting on how the digital age has changed this practice.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Mass media in the United States
 * Article Evaluation
 * - Wikiproject start | top
 * The article content is relevant to the topic, but the topics seem to run on and be a little disorganized. The tone of the article is slightly biased towards older forms of mass media and lacks information about modern mass media. It might be beneficial to include stats on the different types of mass media and their effect on people - you could dig even deeper and add context on if the preferred mass media channels differs from state to state/ regions.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Advertising media selection


 * Article Evaluation
 * - Wikiproject Start | High
 * The content is relevant to the topic, but the article is not up-to-date, and needs additional citations for verification. The article is neutral, and does not try to persuade the reader to one side of an argument. No claims seem biased, but viewpoints just don't put enough emphasis on the subject. I would say that there doesn't need to be as much detail on audience research and media scheduling. Discuss these topics briefly when discussing important considerations when selecting an advertising media and link the words to a page that goes into detail on the topic. For example: "Advertising media selection is one of the step in media-planning. There are many things to take into consideration when selecting the correct advertising media, such-as doing proper audience research." Although these topics are important and relevant to the article, focusing on them takes away from the over-all importance of the main idea.
