Option 1

 * Article title: Murder of James Byrd Jr.
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is written in a fairly neutral tone, and despite it having relatively less content than other Wikipedia articles, there is extensive sourcing and referencing for all claims made by the article. Furthermore, these citations come from well-known and reliable sources. The article is graded as "C-class low importance" so it would be a good article to edit. The talk page is slightly hectic and divided, however, I only wish to contribute facts so I do not think my edits will generate much controversy.

Option 2

 * Article title: Citizen Journalism
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is rated as highly important however it is completely botched in terms of content. The tone is heavily influenced by American perspectives and has a limited global context. This is problematic considering citizen journalism is a global phenomenon. It is also lacking structure and referencing. The talk page consists of many explanations of additions to the article and not too much discussion. This will be a good article to work on as there is much room for imporovement.

Option 3

 * Article title: Global Journalism
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is in its infancy judging by the fact that it only has one paragraph. It is part of 2 wiki-projects that seem stagnant due to the lack of content, and it is unrated in terms of grade or importance. The tone is fairly neutral and it has a relatively good amount of sources (considering it is only one paragraph). The sources are all academic/scholarly, yet there is much room for additions and improvements. The talk page is empty which leads to the assumption that this is a new article, making it a good article to edit.
