Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

 * Article title
 * Hillary Clinton email controversy
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is part of a series about Hillary Clinton and has an abundance, so the article appears very trustworthy. In terms of how it can be improved though, this would most likely be difficult as it is already part of a series and appears to already cover the subject matter well.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Social media use by Donald Trump


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is part of a series about Trump and most likely is already well-developed and written. The article includes a lot of data and sources and is written in an apolitical manner. It will probably be difficult to find areas to improve here.


 * Sources
 * Social media use by Donald Trump

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article discusses the origins of Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation on social media and how it spread across the world through platforms like Twitter. This topic isn't as broad as the Clinton or Trump articles and also not a part of any series. It has 37 sources and frequently cites them throughout the article. I think the article has room for improvement though, as they don't discuss public support for the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation or how it currently uses technology to grow.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Use of social media in the Wisconsin protests


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is about how social media played a role in bringing together people to protest over unions. The article only has about 10 references, which makes sense given that it's a very niche topic. However, the actual content of the paragraph does not cite where each point comes from. There are no in-text citations in the article so there is definitely a lot of room for improvement here. I could also add to the "Talk" section and begin discussions because there's currently nothing there.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Social media use in politics


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article, discussing the history of how each platform of social media has grown to influence the course of American politics, is currently a well-written article. It has many references and, most of the time, makes regular use of in-text citations. However, there are some paragraphs within the article, like the section on election interference, that could use more citations to make the points for that section more credible.
