Option 1

 * Article title

Nail Polish


 * Article Evaluation
 * Article Evaluation

The lead section is short and doesn't contain extraneous information but could use more details specific to each major section. The content is relevant, but not very up-to-date, especially in discussion of colors and finishes. This one might have an equity gap only because it is a traditionally feminine hobby. The ingredients and in fashion sections could use more work. I may also rename the sections. The article is neutral and bears a similar tone to those we looked at in class. A lot of sources are magazines and blogs which are the publications writing on the topic. There are clear and relevant images. The talk section reveals that the addition of a history and/ or gender section was considered. In WikiProject Fashion, this article is rated Start Class and High Importance. The language of the article can be improved. Some of the sentences aren't too clear or coherent. This article is very under-developed so it will be interesting rewriting it.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Tragedy of the Commons
 * Article Evaluation
 * Article Evaluation

The lead section is long but very well organized into paragraphs. Most of the main sections are already written really well and all content is relevant. The graphics are also relevant and clear. The talk sections discusses some of the previous inaccuracies with the information. I think there are still some gaps in the application of this theory, be it in healthcare or in environmental policy. A lot of the sources are scholarly or news articles and the links I clicked on work. This article is rated B-Class, High Importance in Environmental and Game Theory. This is already a very lengthy and pretty thorough article. I just think a brief explanation of the theory pertaining to current events would be useful. I liked the nuances that were discussed in this article. Both the strengths and shortcomings of the theory were shown through historical examples and references to current research. I don't think it was written any differently from how I was taught the topic in an environmental economics course.

Option 3

 * Article title

Cantonese


 * Article Evaluation
 * Article Evaluation

The lead section is a fine, concise introduction. The content is all relevant. I see some sections that could use more up-to-date or detailed information. An expansion of the history section or the addition of a perception and conservation section would be nice. Identity and representation through media is also briefly mentioned so I could expand on that. The article is neutral as it does not attempt to sway the reader to any sort of argument or conclusion. It is also well written as there weren't any grammatical errors. The Talk Page includes discussion on some controversial topics which I feel, if added, would make the article argumentative, so I won't be rewriting it in that way. A lot of sources are news articles, or scholarly articles from Journals on Semantics or Linguistics. It is rated C-Class, Top Importance in WikiProject China. Overall, this is a well-developed article that already offers so much, so I will have to find new research or information that is not already shared here.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Hanja
 * Article Evaluation
 * Article Evaluation

The lead section provides a good introduction but it's not very concise. I think there are some details that are better included in the main sections. Images of characters are useful. I think the history section could be more interesting if more up-to-date information on the usage of the writing system in North vs. South Korea were explored more. There are few grammatical errors but overall the article is well written. Sources are mostly news articles or books and scholarly articles on Korean language and semantics. Majority of them are in English but some are in Korean and those are from reputable news outlets such as the Korea Herald. I think adding sources specifically on the Korea-Chinese relation in the exchange/transfer of languages will be nice. The section on personal names and how those names are used will be an interesting gap to fill as well. The article is rated B-Class High Importance in WikiProject Korea. There is actually a lot of discussion in the Talk section about the accuracies of translation, North Korean usage, content and which sections they belong to, and the comparison of Korean with other languages such as Turkish. I think there is a lot to be done to make the article more current and relevant while also adding some fun facts that have not already been listed.

Option 5

 * Article title

Mukbang


 * Article Evaluation
 * Article Evaluation

The article is currently of medium length. The lead section, while alright in length, could use some rephrasing and restructuring because I feel like it doesn't give a good overview of the major sections. Monetization is mentioned but it only provides one method which is direct fan-to-mukbanger. The psychology behind watching these videos will also be useful and different from the brief explanation of how it may remedy the loneliness associated with eating (alone). There is also a health aspect that has been brought up recently and that should be reflected here. That means the information is not very up-to-date. Overall, the tone is neutral and writing is clear. Sources point to a several niche magazines on internet culture and food. There are English articles as well as Korean and the links do work. Oldest sources are from 2015. This article is rated Start Class and Mid Importance and is part of WikiProjects Food and Drink, Internet Culture, Korea, and Popular Culture. There is not too much past discussion of the page but the article was edited as the subject of an educational assignment at Hanyang University. I agree with one of the comments on the main photo not being the right fit for the topic. I think this is a great starting point for a revision because the article has enough basic information and I also see how the sections can be reorganized or resequenced.
