Instructor Response
I think any of these three could potentially work, though my recommendations and concerns about each are different:

Reflective writing is already a pretty developed article, and I would want you to do more than simply add sources to things that are already there. If you do that one, I'd want you to add at least a large section; let's talk about what that might be.

The first thing you linked under "generation text" is not really about sociocultural generations; I have done a little digging and wasn't able to find much else, honestly. This article: https://www.cnn.com/2010/OPINION/02/08/rosen.texting.communication.teens/index.html If you can find more sources, enough to flesh this out, then great--but it kind of seems to me like this description of generations lost, perhaps understandably, as now nearly everybody texts. In fact, if you decide to go with this one, that could be your angle: what were the conditions leading to the rise of this proposed generational term, and why did it lose out to "Millennials"?

Sandlot ball is a definite stub, cites no sources, and has a LOT of academic and book research you could cite. So that would be the easiest, IMO.

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
 * Reflective writing


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is relevant to the topic, and is written neutrally and unbiased. However, the main problem with this article is that it is not backed-up or supported by any secondary sources or external citations. The information within the article may be correct, and it may be beneficial--however, because it is not verified by multiple outside sources from several different perspectives, it cannot be viewed as credible.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Generation text


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article does not have a lot of information. It presents a definition to what the idea of "Generation Text" is and describes how the term came into being, but that is about it. It provides links to other articles on Wikipedia for each generation, but does not describe how generation text affects each particular generation. In addition, there are no secondary sources or citations for the small amount of information provided.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Sandlot ball


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article has a different issue from the other two previous articles. It's possible that this article regarding what sandlot baseball is relies too heavily on outside and primary sources, which can also be a red flag when it comes to creating a solid, substantial, credible Wikipedia article. In addition to this, there is not a ton of information within this short article. It gives a short definition of the sport, gives a brief overview, and provides links to sports relating to sandlot baseball.
