Option 1

 * Article title
 * Frauds, Myths, and Mysteries
 * Article Evaluation
 * Lead Section: As is, the lead section is okay. It does introduce the reader to what the book is about however, it does not provide a brief description of the articles main sections and could be expanded with some development of the article at large.
 * Content: the article is sparse, and does not provide any specific information about the content of the book, its relevance to the broader scope of society or the debunking of archaeological frauds. It seems that there is a decent amount of content missing however, all of the current information seems up to date and relevant. There is just great room for improvement in terms of adding content.
 * Tone: the tone is neutral and does not seems to be impartial to the information.
 * Sources and references: there are citations missing that need to be included. Additionally there are only two sources in the reference section, and that could be improved as more content is added to the page.
 * Image and media: there are no images. A photo of the book cover or author could be added.
 * Talk page: there seems to be some controversy over the page and someone has petitioned to bring the page down, however unsuccessfully.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Charles Dawson
 * Article Evaluation
 * Lead Section: The lead section is good and provides a concise overview of the content in the article
 * Content: the current content is well cited and informative. However, the social importance of Piltdown man seems to be overlooked in this article, and I believe it could be helpdul to expand this section of the article.
 * Tone: The tone is neutral.
 * Sources: The existing sources are good and the links work.
 * Image and Media: there are good photos provided for the article. They are relevant and well captioned.
 * Talk Page: talk page has been somewhat inactive for a while. Not a lot of controversy. The article is ranked start-class.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Solutrean hypothesis
 * Article Evaluation
 * Content: Currently there is no mention of convergent evolution on this page, and I think that adding this definition will be helpful and informative on this subject. I also think adding the crucial information from the two articles read in class as well as adding them to the further reading tab will be productive. The political controversy section could also be expanded to fully explain the social implications of this theory. As is, the article seems to undermine the potentially racist ideology that this theory could perpetuate.
 * Sources: the current sources are plentiful, and all the links work. I would have to spend some more time digging into the validity of each source used. I also think there is reliable information that could be added to the page such as the articles read in class.
