Option 1

 * Article title
 * 19th century philosophy


 * Article Evaluation
 * The content in this article is relevant to the topic, however there should be more content relevant to the topic. For example, the lead is too brief and it does not summarize 19th century philosophy well enough. The sections on Utilitarianism and pragmatism are incredibly thin. The article is written neutrally, but it could overall be written and worded better. Citations are lacking overall. This article does not tackle one of wikipedia's equity gaps. Overall the article need quite a bit of work on al fronts, and it seems an ideal choice for this assignment.

 * Jacquette, Dale. “Arthur Schopenhauer: The World As Will and Representation.” The Nineteenth Century, McGill-Queen’s Univ Pr, 2005. EBSCOhost, search-ebscohost-com.libproxy.albany.edu/login.aspx?direct=true&db=pif&AN=PHL2119400&site=ehost-live.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Criticism of Rationalism


 * Article Evaluation
 * The little content in this article does pertain to criticism of rationalism, but the article is very brief. Arthur Schopenhauer is a famous critic of rationalism, and he is only mentioned briefly. The way the article is written, however, is decent. It is also written neutrally. Unlike the previous article, this article includes many citations and its sources are reliable. It seems to me that there is much to say on the topic.
 * I selected this article as a candidate given its lack of content and need for improvement, but the article itself seems a bit too of a niche topic.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Danish philosophy


 * Article Evaluation
 * There is very little written in this article. It mentions some key figures but ideas are not elaborated on, nor are their relations to philosophy at large. This is an excellent candidate for contribution because of this, and danish philosophy is significant.
