Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

 * Illegal drug trade in Colombia
 * Article Evaluation
 * In the second paragraph of the introduction, there are already grammatical wording flow errors.
 * The same link is used to describe 2 differently named groups in the first and second paragraphs. There needs to be more information on the differences between the right-wing paramilitary groups and the narco paramilitary and BACRIMs.
 * "Colombia had the dubious distinction of being the world-leading producer of coca for many years" Immediately "dubious" does not feel like the right word to be used in this sentence. Simply saying "distinction" would be more direct and formal to get the message across.
 * The section on "Drug Production" should be expanded and updated since the last article listed is from 2018. And even that source only gives information up to 2017.
 * Subsections for History do not give enough context for each drug. There is definitely a deeper history of the production and spread/distribution of these drugs that are not formally highlighted in this part.
 * Sources
 * Outdated sources, the majority of the ones, in the beginning, are focusing on articles from the early to mid-2000s
 * The links in the effects part of Coca section are linked properly to articles specifically pertaining to Colombia
 * Again the sources though are from the 2000s
 * The links in the effects part of Coca section are linked properly to articles specifically pertaining to Colombia
 * Again the sources though are from the 2000s

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Race and ethnicity in Brazil


 * Article Evaluation
 * Many footnotes and bibliographies missing, and this is made clear throughout the article with notes reading "citation needed".
 * The first paragraph is very unclear, and the flow of the reading loses the reader. The second half of the first section is a quote from an alternative source. This should be adjusted to be less of the quote, which the citation is also an unclear source.
 * The headers are also seemingly random and out of order. This could be adjusted to make the information more accessible and reliable. Also, the first paragraph does not give enough quick information to the reader.
 * There were also multiple genetic headers yet they were not grouped together, there are breaks between them.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Women in Panama


 * Article Evaluation
 * Needs major improvement. The first sentence is unbelievably redundant and nonsensical: "Women in Panama are the women who live in or are from Panama. Panamanian women, by tradition, are Hispanic and they are treated as equal to men, accorded with "deference and respect"."
 * The next paragraphs give little to no information about women and their culture. Also, the information is outdated and needs to be updated. There should be a header about women's rights, women in politics, and women in the media. Also, there can be ones about traditional clothing, or the history of female roles in the labor force.
 * The Domestic Violence header could have more information added below about recent movements to improve the quality of life for females. Also, any demonstrations or protests that have occurred. Also, there is definitely more information to write about abortion rights and job equality.
