Option 1

 * Article title
 * Marley & Me


 * Article Evaluation
 * I feel the article Marley and Me has a good and informative lead section that allows the reader to know what this article is about without disclosing to many details. This section gives a nice overview of what the article is about and and helps the reader understand that this dog was a pain however through everything the family really loved and had horrible grief when they lost him. I did not see any information that was in this section that was not present in the rest of the article. It was not too detailed, yet allowed the reader to get the just of the story. I believe the article's content is relevant to the topic as it explains the relationship between Marley and the family grew throughout his life. I feel there is enough content throughout and nothing that doesn't belong. I do not see any biased information in this article as it is just simply stating the facts that took place through Marley and his family's life. It does not seem to be trying to persuade your opinion one way or the other as it is just explaining what took place. I do feel this article was well written and is easy to read and follow the story so you can understand what happened. There are no images included in the story aside from the book cover that shows on the side of the article, and it does not appear to be a part of any Wikiprojects. The overall status of the article I would say is a good summary of the story of Marley and Me. I do think it could use a few more details to explain the story a little better however you do understand what is going on from reading this article.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Me Before You (film)


 * Article Evaluation
 * The lead in this article does not give you very much detail about the story. I feel it could include a little bit more detail to help you know more about what takes place throughout the story. This lead seems to be explaining more about the people and locations of the events rather than telling you about the actual events that happened. It also, tends to lean more towards the concise side of things and definitely does not give out too much information. As you move into reading about the content it does give you a lot more information and detail of the story to help you understand the events that took place and how the story plays out until the end. I do not believe it left important information out as I was able to understand and picture the story taking place as I was reading. This article does have good tone and balance as it just explains the story line and allows you to form your own opinion about the story and the things that happened throughout it. There are not really facts in this story that are able to be backed up as this is a fictional tale. For me this article seems to be well written and easy to understand, explaining the whole story from beginning to end leaving nothing out. I did not notice any grammatical errors which I feel also makes for better reading material. This story did not have any images included within it, however there is the theatrical poster off to the side that allows me to see what the main characters look like and help to form the story line images as I was reading.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * The Iron Throne (Game of Thrones)


 * Article Evaluation
 * In this article the lead sentence is very good at relaying what this article is about. As you continue reading it goes into more details and describes the main topics well. I did not find information in the lead that was not incorporated in the article at some point. I feel the writer was good at including the needed information to know what the article would contain however did not over describe or put in too much information. As you continue reading through the remainder of the article it seems to cover the whole story and allows you to see the entire picture without focusing too long on one event. The author of this article seems to end it allowing for the continuation onto the next story if he wanted to, yet it gives enough information that he doesn't leave you in question if there is not another story to follow. It allows for a neutral feel just going along telling the story allowing the reader to make their own thoughts or opinions throughout and does not focus too much on one point. This article seems to be well written and does not jump around allowing the reader to understand the story line. There are not any images included with this article which I felt made it harder to image the story line in your mind as you are reading it.
