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
 * Leviathan
 * Article Evaluation
 * Article is B tier but can still be improved, however it is slightly beyond what I am capable of editing (with confidence).
 * CONTENT
 * major plot references are missing, and overdetailing of certain events could be considered spoilers (without a spoiler warning).
 * Sources

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Martin the Warrior
 * Martin the Warrior - Wikipedia


 * Article Evaluation
 * Article is S tier, which is what I'm looking for. No direct access to the book, but research can probably produce results to compensate.
 * CONTENT
 * Plot contains few mentions of the antagonists in the plot summary. More details on these characters and their past relationships can be added.
 * Some villains are not mentioned in the character guide, like the captain of the guard known as Hisk.
 * TALK PAGE DISCUSSION
 * This book is part of the Redwall series, and several other books are also in this time period. There can and should be some representation of this in either the wiki text or in the wiki table that this book covers two time periods.
 * This wiki is part of the Wikiprojects Novel/Fantasy and the Wikiproject Children's Literature. It is also apart of Wikiproject Redwall, which is inactive. ￼
 * OVERALL IMPRESSIONS
 * This wiki is relatively well completed, a few minor adjustments can be made.
 * The article has strong references and a good handle on the plot.
 * The article is missing some characters and representation of said characters.
 * The articled is almost complete! It is fairly well developed, with only some minor additions needed for it to be complete.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Rifles for Watie
 * Rifles for Watie - Wikipedia


 * Article Evaluation
 * Article is S tier, which is what I'm looking for. I have the added bonus of access to the book here on campus for direct reference.
 * TALK PAGE DISCUSSION
 * There are many spoilers in the character's list about the content of the book. This can be changed either by completely removing the spoilers or by adding an entirely new section in the article contents. The image being used is under scrutiny. The image is claimed to have been added because it is protected under fair use, yet it provides no rationale as to why it is fair use in the specific article.
 * LEAD
 * Lead can be edited to specify time period of conflict (i.e., American civil war)
 * Lead claims the author used firsthand accounts of civil war veterans to keep the book as historically accurate as possible, but this is not mentioned anywhere else in the article, nor does it cite what veterans the information came from. This claim is backed by an article.
 * CONTENT
 * Some content is missing, details about the story are not present. ￼ A good example is how the motivation of the main character is not accurately described. Jeff is motivated to join the union army because his family was attacked by bushwhackers and because his father is too old to fight. ￼
 * SOURCES AND REFERENCES
 * There are not many sources or references, more may be available to ensure accuracy and variety. ￼
 * ORGANIZATION AND WRITING QUALITY
 * Topic could be broken down into further sections, like chapter summaries rather than just a plot summary. ￼
 * Minor grammatical and spelling errors found throughout the article. ￼
 * OVERALL IMPRESSIONS
 * Article status is "S" class. ￼
 * Article has a very detailed list of characters in the book, but too much detail in the character descriptions.
 * The article is not complete, and it is not well developed. It needs medium to minor adjustments, and maybe one major change. That change would be to add a per chapter summary of the book.
 * The article does not cover the history of the book, or the changes recommended/implemented to address the language used when the books character's address minorities, this can be a whole new section titled "Controversy".
