Summary of evaluations on these five topics
There was not enough information to make a judgment on neutrality. All five topics I chose needed more relevant information (both in terms of explanations, opinions, and citations). These topics need user participation, so making meaningful discussions on the talk page challenging now.

The surprising fact is that although the amount of information was tiny, the sources and content of the citations linked to the written draft were of good quality. There must have been a reason why these pages were hoping for participation from others on the stub page.

02-12-2024 I tried to select resources as reference materials that were at least 5 years old. The more recent the data, the more interesting it is, but it is mainly composed of content and opinions that require discussion.

Option 1

 * Article title:National Hot Dog and Sausage Council
 * Article Evaluation:This article needs an absolute amount of data. I don't know if I can find materials in a source I have access to (the college library), but I want to give it a try.::02-12-2024 Most of the information found needed to meet Wikipedia's requirements. The data that could be found was briefly mentioned in short videos and articles. I can expressed an opinions about this topic, but I would like to avoid posting personal opinions (interpretation of information) on Wikipedia.

Option 2
1. "Once common, these bogs have begun to disappear due to the high levels of development in their natural area." :This is the source I found because I wanted to add a new citation to this part of the page.
 * Article title:Magnolia bog
 * Article Evaluation:I think there are more materials about bogs that could be incorporated into this article. Since it is a place near Washington D.C., there are likely to be other official sources as well. There doesn't seem to be a problem with neutrality or citation of data.

2. The publisher of this article is the National Recreation and Park Association, an organization well suited to comment on this topic. The article suggested description and current address of Barcroft Magnolia Bog where nearby Washington D.C. It contains very good content to supplement posts that were lacking in examples.

02-12-2024 Although most of the material about the association was published by the association themselves, I thought it was a good fit for the topic because they are a non-profit, Virginia-based organization that cares about the welfare of residents and maintenance of the park. They were an organization that published related materials every year.

3. The Magnolia bog is briefly mentioned at the end of the article, but it seems like not bad resource to be presented as an example of this topic. Of course, it needs to be discussed.

Option 3
1. Since I don't have enough knowledge about architecture, I'm not sure if this style is part of modernism. However, the article is old enough (though I'm not sure if it's authoritative enough) and the buildings mentioned are listed on the Wikipedia page, so it seemed like a good idea to cite as related material.
 * Article title:Wedding-cake style
 * Article Evaluation:The amount of data is insufficient. There are references to other countries, but examples are lacking.

2.There is a place called Wedding Cake House. Of course, it had nothing to do with this topic. However, it was definitely information that would be good to add for people (like me in the past) who thought these two things were related.

3.It is mentioned that "the Suncorp Center at 36 Wickham Terrace, Brisbane, a building known locally as the "Wedding Cake" because of its curious tiered design." It looks good as an example.

02-12-2024 I looked up this building directly on Google Maps, but I'm not sure if it fits that architectural style.

4. Another example, but I'm not sure.

02-12-2024 The article referred to the building as a "wedding cake style" building, but after looking at the photos, I'm still not sure.

5. I found a suitable example for a sentence that only had an explanation but no examples! I looked up the building on the map and it turned out to be the wedding cake style building I was thinking of! If I can find photos that don't violate copyright, I can post them. The connection between the building style and Stalinism is clear. During that period, buildings of this style won awards in the architectural field. If I dig deeper into Stalin-years buildings, I might be able to find more diverse examples. but, Of course, the source of this article is not a famous media.

Option 4

 * Article title:Rabbit Fire (2023)
 * Article Evaluation:I found articles on similar topics with good quality to contrast with the article. 2023 Canadian wildfires:Compared to a well-written article, the material is lacking in all aspects. There is a lot of data that needs to be supplemented, including the circumstance of the incident, the extent of damage, and the after effect.
 * Sources:

Option 5

 * Article title:Quiet and loud aliens
 * Article Evaluation:In my personal opinion, I think this is an article that should be included inside the article on the Dark forest hypothesis, which can be found in see also part. However, I think there is a reason why it is classified apart from others, so I would like to look for more information.::02-12-2024 Perhaps this words is used in a variety of hypotheses. It seems to have a rough meaning, but the exact definition haven't been explained. There seems to be a need for information about the hypotheses in which this reference is used or data that can explain this word.
