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
 * Massachusetts v. Environmental Protection Agency


 * Article Evaluation
 * All content is relevant and written neutrally, but not every claim has a citation. Some of the citations are old and no longer direct users to functioning pages. There is little other than a description of the trial, the parties, the arguments, etc. This doesn't address an equity gap. The talk page is mainly complaints about how the article could be improved.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Plant Variety Protection Act of 1970


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is an overly basic description of the law, not mentioning any of its effects. It does however contrast it with other similar laws to show why this law exists. There is one reference and no citations, none of the claims made have any evidence presented. There is nothing in the Talk page other than a statement that the article was plagiarizer by an article with a link that no longer functions.
