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:
 * Internet Relationship
 * Article Evaluation:
 * The article's content is relevant to the topic, it discusses what an internet relationship is, the different types of internet relationships that can exist, etc. It is fairly neutral and written from a informative perspective rather than opinionated. The article is well cited by reliable sources, maybe has too much random information about internet.  It tackles a topic that is viewed as mid-importance.

Option 2:

 * Article title:
 * infatuation
 * Article Evaluation:
 * The article is not written very well. Definitely requires more information about infatuation and its difference from romantic love and more reliable sources and citations.  It is written neutrally, and it is a topic that is viewed as mid-importance.  It has too many lengthy quotations.

Option 3

 * Article title:
 * unrequited love
 * Article Evaluation:
 * The content of the article is relevant but was lacking a lot of information. It isn't written very neutrally since it talks about advantages but not disadvantages of unrequited love.  Another flaw I noticed was missing information, for example, article discussed advantages of unrequited love but not disadvantages.  Not that many citations, and the citations weren't very reputable sources. It is a former featured article.

Option 4

 * Article title:
 * long-distance relationships
 * Article Evaluation:
 * Article has a lot of good information and is neutrally written. Has several reputable sources but could use more information and claims. It is viewed as a start class article.

Option 5

 * Article title:
 * arranged marriage
 * Article Evaluation:
 * The article is fairly well written and discusses different aspects of arranged marriages. There are a few parts that weren't relevant in my opinion (human rights portion).  There were several citations and some were reliable and some were not.  This topic covers a lot of minority groups and people who are poorer, and is viewed as mid-importance.
