 * 1) I chose this article because it discusses the history of terrorism in the Philippines- a tragic phenomenon that is not addressed properly by local and national governments in the Philippines.This article is incredibly detailed and contains great sources, so I felt compelled to use it.
 * 2) I chose this article because it discusses the history, purpose, and overall influence of advocacy groups- the sector my PE is in. This article is organized well and contains a long list of historically effective advocacy groups- allowing me to compare them with my own PE.

 * 1) The article has a pretty short lead section, but I believe that is because it provides an incredibly detailed list of past terrorist events in the Philippines shortly after. The content of the article is relevant, containing a neutral point of view and a plethora of appropriate sources. The article also contains images/maps key to a specific region, and is methodically organized in chronological order. The article's Talk Page contains a lot of grammatical and organizational edits- it doesn't contain heated debates.The article's overall status: great.
 * 2) The article contains a concise, but well informative lead section- introducing advocacy groups and gracefully transitioning into the history of them in the next subheading. The content of the article is relevant, containing a neutral point of view and a plethora of appropriate sources. I especially appreciate the "Activities" section of the article- it allows me to compare the activities of my PE with the activities of other advocacy groups. The article contains 3 images that are sufficiently captioned. I would have liked if the article included more images throughout, though, since I was zoning out a bit during the "Influence" section; images would have enhanced my understanding of the content. The article's Talk Page is very long- indicating that the article is frequently edited and read- and contains grammatical and organizational edits- along with suggestions made to the sources used.The article's overall status: great.
