Option 1

 * Article title
 * Solitary Confinement


 * Article Evaluation
 * The first thing I noticed about this article was that it's very long. Some of the topics touched on, such as how it effects certain groups, I felt could be made into it's own page. A couple of the topics were also edited to only have one or two sentences. The 'issues' comment at the top of the article notes that there aren't enough sources, resulting in the page not giving an international perspective. Most of the resources used focused on America. Some of the sources used seemed biased, which was also discussed on the talk page. If I work on this topic I would likely pick one of the topics that weren't expanded much on and create a new page for it.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Coercion


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article covers what coercion is and the two types. This article is short, but it goes into the basic information necessary to understand the definition. There is a lack of references used in this page, which is noted in the 'issues' comment. Looking at the talk page indicated that there were disputes on how coercion should be defined. More examples could be used to differentiate coercion from other practices like using force. Headings and external links were utilized well, but there were no pictures used. None of the few sources used or the page's content seemed biased. If I work on this page I will expand on the research and references used. I would also include more example of coercion and research the legality of coercion further.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Fire investigation


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article clearly give the purpose of fire investigations. But it doesn't go in depth about what the investigation includes. There were not many sources or in-text citations used in this article. I do like how this article included relevant topics and pictures. The 'Recommended Practices' was made up of 2 lines, so the topic should be expanded on. The 'Qualifications' section also seemed to be based only on one source. It was also hard to read because it was made of lists mostly. If I work on this article I will do more research on the investigation process. I would also include more in text citations from the new resources.
