Article Selection
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
 * Safety of electronic cigarettes


 * Article Evaluation
 * To begin with, Wikipedia has a message at the top saying that this article may require some cleanup as it didn't meet their quality standards. Looking at the article, it is very dense and contains a lot of information in the introduction. However, it seems to be written pretty neutrally and is more so listing facts as to potential harms and side effects. The citations seem pretty good, the sources are reputable such as the CDC or the California Department of Public Health.


 * Sources
 * Vaping Facts

Option 2

 * Article title
 * UK Vaping Industry Association


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is really short but to the point. In the beginning it has a paragraph that is not really neutral, and isn't clear on who says what. The citations include sources such as BBC and the Daily Telegraph which may not be the most reputable sources.


 * Sources
 * UKVIA

Option 3

 * Article title
 * List of vaping bans in the United States


 * Article Evaluation
 * While this is a great source, it is merely a list of vaping bans in the US and doesn't have as much information in it. looking at the citations, some of them are not really reliable; some are from news stations. Pretty neutral since it is just a list.


 * Sources
 * FDA

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Inflight Smoking


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is pretty good, the information is relevant to the topic and the sources seem legit. The citation sources seem really reliable as well, and there are a lot so there's a pretty good array of sources. The only downfall of this article is that vaping and ecigs are barely mentioned, which is more relevant to today's time.


 * Sources
 * FAA

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Regulation of electronic cigarettes


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is really great, it lists many countries and the laws and regulations that have been put in place to control the up rise in the use of electronic cigarettes. There are 215 sources, coming from all sorts of sources including news stations, journals of public health, specific bills etc. The only downside to this article is that the information may not be as updated or recent, even looking at the US the last regulation they listed was from 2018 and 2019.
