Option 1

 * Protracted Social Conflict:
 * Article Evaluation:The article's content is all relevant to the topic, but in the talk pages there are discussions about certain facets of theory being over-emphasized or some information being out of date or just incorrect. The intro needs work-- it's very short and doesn't provide a good overview of the topic. The citations and sources used appear to be reliable overall, but are out-of-date-- there aren't very many sources, and only one from after 2010. I think that, in my context, some of the situations this topic deals with could certainly be consider underrepresented or misrepresented. The one hesitation I have is one of the areas highlighted in this article is Sri Lanka and much of my prof's work is focused around issues related to social violence in Sri Lanka. The talk page is pretty quiet and not much has happened in the last few years.

Option 2

 * Balkanization :
 * Article Evaluation:This article is pretty short with sources that are all published academic work, but nothing from after 2016. Wikipedia users have flagged the article for having issues with neutrality. There are some quotes and claims that don't appear to be properly cited. There was some chatter on the talk page as recently as 2021 discussion different aspects of the article, like the choice to describe the article's name as a pejorative term.

Option 3

 * Article Evaluation:this article is a stub. It does have some recent viable academic sources. It contains very little information overall. The talk page is mostly empty.

Option 4

 * Domestic Violence in Uganda:
 * Article Evaluation:This article is a stub. Txhere are questions about its notability-- however, this topic seems to be in keeping with other kinds of pages on wikipedia. most of the references currently in the article are from newspapers and other popular information sources. There is currently very little information in the body of the article, and some of the statements might need to be re-evaluated for neutrality.

Option 5

 * Morality of Violence:
 * Article Evaluation:This article is a stub. It has four references, all of which are academic. The intro provides a brief overview of the concept that seems to delve a little too deeply into specific aspects of theory rather than providing a broader overview of the topic. There is no material in the talk page.
