Option 1: Cathedral of Brasilia

 * Article title
 * Cathedral of Brasilia


 * Article Evaluation
 * The wikipedia page does not seem to have as much information about the building in regards to its construction, timeline, and importance. The article does include a basic description and the artistic interpretation of the cathedral as well as a brief history of the building. However, I feel as though the information on the page could be expanded greatly or at least more sources with different information included. I think more information on the restoration process and those challenges of restoring historical buildings would be important to add in. I also think more information about the city as a whole would be useful information to include.

Option 2: Porta Nigra

 * Article title
 * Porta Nigra


 * Article Evaluation
 * The wikipedia page includes a lengthy section on the history of the building, but I believe that this large section could easily be split into a few smaller sections so that the page is easier to navigate and the information within the article expanded on with more in-depth and specific characteristics of the building. This page definitely needs some reorganizing and I think that there are certainly more than three resources that could contribute to the page especially because it is a World Heritage Site.

Option 3: La Maison Carreé

 * Article title
 * La Maison Carreé


 * Article Evaluation
 * The wikipedia page has decent paragraphs on the history, architecture, and restorations that have occurred. However, these paragraphs are relatively short and don't contain a particularly large amount of information on the importance of the building or the impact it had on the city and culture of the area (or exactly how it came to be). Only two references have been used to contribute to the article and with the site being so influential in regards to its Roman history, I think there is a lot of room for elaboration on specific aspects of the building that are similar to Roman architecture.
