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: These Happy Golden Years :
 * Article Evaluation: The article features a summary of the book, which is far longer than the other sections of the article, including Historical Background and Reception. There's also no source for a sentence that seems to require one in the Reception section. There's also no citation for anything in the summary. :
 * Sources:

 * Cummins, June. "Laura and the" Lunatic Fringe": Gothic Encoding in Wilder's These Happy Golden Years." Children's Literature Association Quarterly 23.4 (1998): 187-193.

Option 2

 * Article title: 11 Birthdays
 * Article Evaluation: It lacks a summary/synopsis and background section. The Reception section could also be more in-depth and appears clunky. :

 * Maughan, S., & Lodge, S. (2023). Spring 2023 children's announcements: Publishers R-Z. Publishers Weekly, 270 (8), 25. Retrieved from https://www.proquest.com/trade-journals/spring-2023-childrens-announcements-publishers-r/docview/2777792104/se-2

Option 3

 * Article title: Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day:
 * Article Evaluation: The summary section does not appear professional and is also too detailed for an encylopedic explanation. Throughout the article, the paragraphs and sentences are not well-structured. There is also a "Posterity" section, which feels unnecessary for a book (perhaps can be replaced with "Reception"). :

 * Article title: Chen Bochui Children's Literature Award :
 * Article Evaluation: There's a lot of Chinese characters for it being an English article. Most hyperlinks are red, denoting the fact there isn't an article attached. It lists prizewinners but no detail on how the prize was brought about. :
