Option 1

 * Article title:Danube Swabians
 * Article Evaluation:This article is well organized with section headings and images that generally appropriately associate to the article. It is seemingly neutral in its tone and perspective, although when the Talk section is reviewed, it seems that there are very different opinions on the terminology and perspective within the article. There is a coat of arms image that is up for debate among Wikipedia users as to whether or not it is a political statement. The article is of C-class with the following WikiProjects: Ethnic Groups, Germany, Serbia, Croatia, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Romania and within the Talk section, some users claim that the article cites dubious claims and references. In the article, references seem to be cited but a few links are not supported when clicked.
 * Sources:In the Talk area, other sources are cited and I would like to research those sources to compare to the sources cited in the article.

Option 2

 * Article title:Banat Swabians
 * Article Evaluation:As part of the Danube Swabians, the Banat Swabians article goes into detail around the Banat Swabians (Germans of Romania). The article is not too long and the list of references and links is rather brief considering the detail of the article. This article is a Start-class within the following WikiProjects: Romaina, Ethnic groups, Serbia, Austria, Germany, Bulgaria and in the Talk area there is much debate between users around the validity of the narrative of this time during and after WWII.
 * Sources:I would like to research sources to determine credibility.

Option 3

 * Article title:German Diaspora in Europe link to German Diaspora
 * Article Evaluation:A practically nonexistent article (page only) that links to the article German Diaspora. Both articles, with information from German Diaspora, is really very broad and outlines ethically German people in all countries outside of Germany. References are minimal and so is content considering the breadth of the subject. In the Talk area, this article is rated C-class and Mid-importance. In the Talk area, the critiques of this article is that it is about German ex-pats and not ethnic German people.
 * Sources:I would like to verify sources.

Option 4

 * Article title:Germans of Serbia
 * Article Evaluation:At the top of this page, it states that "this article has multiple issues" namely that the list of references is listed like a resume and that the content is in part like an advertisement. There is a request to improve it. The article is very short considering the topic and history. However, there are relevant images, statistics, outline, and a handful of references that are used to cite information. In the Talk area, this article is noted as a Start-class for the WikiProjects: Germany and Serbia but there is no discussion to date.
 * Sources:I would like to review the sources herein.

Option 5

 * Article title:Germany-Yugoslavia Relations
 * Article Evaluation:This is a brief overview of historical chapters affecting the relations between Germany and Yugoslavia. It doesn't have too much content and few references, and if the Talk section is examined it is of low importance on several WikiProjects.
 * Sources:It would be good to review sources and cross-reference related articles.
