Option 1

 * University of California, Riverside
 * Though it is written neutrally, the article does not mention any land acknowledgments. It should have been placed and found in the History section of the main article, but it is not. According to the Talk page, external links should be modified and some of the material is dated, not sourced, and primary. The Talk Page offers many ideas of changes for these issues. The article also requests copy editing. It also has many references that appear to be reliable. I am unable to find any Wiki pages about University of California, Riverside land acknowledgments. I could use the University of California, Riverside Land Acknowledgment as a possible source.

Option 2

 * University of California, Riverside campus
 * Though the article is written neutrally and is article about the history of the campus, the article fails to mention any land acknowledgments. It should be in the Development History section, but it is not. Surprisingly, there is no discussion in the Talk page for the article. It has also been given a Low rating. Though there are few references, they appear to be reliable. I am unable to find any Wiki pages about University of California, Riverside land acknowledgments. I could use the University of California, Riverside Land Acknowledgment as a possible source.

Option 3

 * University of California, Riverside Botanic Gardens
 * This article is about the current use of the natural land of the University of California, Riverside campus. The article should include land acknowledgments and a bit about the history of the land before going into the current state and use of it. There is also very little information in each of the sections. Some of the sections are just bulletin points of other sources, with some of the sources being the color red. The article should have more information rather than providing links to other sources and articles. There is no discussion in the talk page and the article is rated as Mid and a Start-Class. Though the article is filled with many links, it only provides two references. More should be added. I am unable to find any Wiki pages about University of California, Riverside land acknowledgments. I could use the University of California, Riverside Land Acknowledgment as a possible source.

Option 4

 * Transgender
 * Some of the sections in the article require and are in need of expansion. For example, the LGBT community and the Support section specially state that the sections are in need of expansion. Though the article contains controversial issues, it is a topic that we have discussed in class, which is related to the course. According to the Talk page, there are some unnecessary paragraphs that should be taken out and that there are poorly sourced statements and sources that should not be used in the lead. The article provides many references, which appear to be reliable. For the sections that require expansion, I could use similar related Wikipedia pages and the references that they provide as possible sources to assist in their expansion.

Option 5

 * Trans woman
 * There is great debate over the lead sentence of the article in the Talk page about what it means and how it should be edited and written. The definition of a "trans woman" is also poorly written and sparks great debate in the Talk page. I could perhaps use the Transgender article to assist in forming a better definition. There are other article conflicts according to the Talk page such as the claim that a trans woman is a woman, which provides no citation nor source to the claim. The article repeatedly uses the phrase "trans women" throughout the article. The article provides many references, which appear to be reliable.
