Article Evaluation:

I chose to read the article about the book In Defense of Anarchism by Robert Paul Wolff. Because the book is so short, the article is also short. It's part of the WikiProject Philosophy and was given a C-Class rating. The tone was neutral, and the writer has broken down the book into a summary about its parts to help the reader understand the author's main arguments. There was no Talk page going on for the article, but its sources were accessible and seem to be reliable.

Article Selection:

History of Theater in Utah: There is a lot of content for the history of theater in general already, but this gives a broad, world-wide overview of developments in theater. There isn't a lot on the development of theater in specific world areas, and definitely not on such a local level as a specific state. Doing an article on Utah specifically should hopefully help readers understand how the broad patterns can be seen on a more local and personal level.

Folklore in Utah: Another interesting article to write would be about folklore native to the state of Utah. Again, there are articles about the general history of folklore, but nothing on such a local level.

American Diplomats: Researching American diplomats is another potential topic. Practically all the articles about American diplomats are stub articles, leaving lots of room for improvement.

Citation Exercise:

Brigham Young, governor of the Utah territory, was present at the opening of the Deseret Theater on December 22.
