Option 1

 * Article title:Cancel Culture
 * Article Evaluation:The article has good base information about what cancel culture is and what it means in our recent media climate. It is written neutrally and there are a bunch of citations, both in the article and in the bibliography. It seems like a reliable article. :If I were to improve this article, I would go into more detail of the consequences of cancel culture on people's careers and the levels of 'cancelled.' In doing so, I would include more examples in pop culture of people being cancelled and what that meant for their future careers. I could also tie it back to if there was cancel culture back before social media got huge, and what that may have looked like. Otherwise why cancel culture started and why it was important before it became suffocating.

Option 2

 * Article title:Play (Theatre)
 * Article Evaluation:This article is about plays but there are many other articles that are included in this. Those articles are about specific aspects of theatre. Those articles are kind of summarized in this more general article. There are not many sources but the ones that are there seem reliable.:If I were to improve this article I would include the different themes and storylines that make plays very successful and use examples. I would include things about the history of plays and how they became more popular. I would add the making of plays into movies and vice versa and the popularity of that. Base entertainment like movies, television, e.t.c started with plays before any of that was possible so I think that may be important to include.

Option 3

 * Article title:Ancient Music
 * Article Evaluation:This article is not very detailed. There is obviously a lot of detail and research that needs to be put into this. There are many sources that seem reliable. The easy thing to add to this article is more countries and more history retalated to specific countries. the article is already formulated that way so it would be easy to add more specifics in certain cultures and relate them to one another.

Option 4

 * Article title:Performace
 * Article Evaluation:The article does have many sources and its written well. But, the main bolded subsections feel kind of sporadic. I would add things to tie them all together. Maybe add a section about different preparations performers use to tie it into the stage fright section. I think I can make everything mesh better and add more references and historical context to tie it all together
