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
 * Playhouse on the Square


 * Article Evaluation
 * The content is very relevant to the article but there are some things missing. So far each claim does have a citation and each source is from a neutral point of view. All of the citations are reliable.The article has some solid information to begin with, but there are some things that I would like to add. Things like notable productions, who founded it, when certain buildings were acquired would all be a good place to start.


 * Sources
 * There are some good sources on memphisflyer.com, Opera Memphis, and even Trip Advisor

 * https://www.operamemphis.org/playhouse-on-the-square

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Ballet Memphis


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is very short, but all of the information is relevant to the topic, and written neutrally, and the citations are reliable and neutrally written. However since there is so much information omitted, there is vast room for more information that would be extremely good for the article. I would like to add potentially, more about the founding, the founders, the building, and the style of dance and dances that they do. I would also like to add a section on notable alumni that could potentially help to get more people coming to the page.


 * Sources
 * There is an article on mindbodyonline, there is ballet Memphis's website, and there is also an architect magazine article to begin with.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Joan Williams


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is a bit longer than the Ballet Memphis one and all information is relevant to the topic and written neutrally. I would like to add a bit more about her personal life and more of her works specifically. I would also like to do a lot more research on why her relationship with William Faulkner overshadowed her work. I think that that would be a very interesting addition to the article.


 * Sources
 * There are many different sources such as chapter16 online, academic works.cuny.edu, and mswritersandmuscicians.com
 * https://chapter16.org/author-in-history/joan-williams-1928-2004/
 * https://academicworks.cuny.edu/gc_etds/3171/

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Opera Memphis


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is written from a neutral position and all information the article is relevant to the topic. Some things I would like to add to the article are notable productions, notable cast members, and more of the history of the founding. This article is actually extremely well written, so I'm not sure how much I could realistically add to it that would make the cut, but I will do some research and look into it.


 * Sources
 * The Opera Memphis website, memphisparent.com and tnartscommision.org

Option 5

 * Article title
 * The New Daisy Theatre


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is very short and really only discusses the people that have performed at the theatre not enough about the theatre itself and its history. The article is written from a neutral position though. I would like to do more research on its controversies and why it is not getting as much business as it used to.


 * Sources
 * I have found multiple different sources that look very promising. the New Daisy Theatre website, there is a commecialappeal.com article, and a wreg.org article. also an article on ilovememphisblog.com
