Option 1

 * Article title: ) Austro-Turkish War (1716–1718) - Wikipedia
 * Article Evaluation: The article has a lack of cited materials and is very sparse in it's details. It only covers the broad events of the war, and does not delve into specific engagements, political ramifications, or the economic effects it had on the region in question. Content should be separated into easily identifiable sub-headings
 * Sources: Oltenia – un episod editorial imperial (1718-1739) - Revista Transilvania . 2014, Issue 5/6, p56-58. 3p. Author: Eva Marza

Option 2

 * Article title: Champion warfare - Wikipedia
 * Article Evaluation: This article has no sources whatsoever, despite the topic being widely talked about in military history circles. It also does not distinguish between time periods and geographical methods adequately, and also excludes political decision making that was conducted via champion combat. Overall, there is a profound lack of information and it's lack of sources make what is present questionable.

Option 3:Dardanian invasion of Epirus - Wikipedia

 * Article title
 * Article Evaluation: Only one source book and two references, needs further expansion. Also no mention of the political fallout as a result of the war or the shift in political allegiances that was a consequence of Sparta's eventual interference. (namely, the deterioration of relationships between the Spartan and Syracusan realms of influence) It also does not cover how this invasion eventually laid the groundwork for Epirus' transition to a military power under Pyrrhus

Option 4:Cabal - Wikipedia

 * Article title
 * Article Evaluation: A lack of practical examples both in antiquity and in the modern world. An adequate number of sources for what is availible, but a section linking to other pages describing proven conspiracies or organizations that qualify as a cabal would be helpful
 * Sources
 * Business Standard Political Profiles of Cabals and Kings - By Business Standard Books

 * The Life of J.D. Åkerblad - By Fredrik Thomasson

Option 5: Demilitarization - Wikipedia

 * Article title
 * Article Evaluation: the definition included is quite accurate, however it only goes back as far as the beginning of the 20th century. There have been many periods of demilitarization for a variety of reasons, from forced demilitarization of Germany and Japan after WW2, to periods of demilitarization due to internal policy priorities, such as with Ming China's reduction of their naval assets in the 17th century. More context is required to provide a more in-depth explanation on the topic, and distinguishing the reasons for said demilitarization. On the page, it is also spelled with an S instead of with a Z.
