Option 1

 * Article title: Maya Architecture
 * Article Evaluation:
 * There are many places where citations are needed for statements within the article and some of the material covered needs to be updated, as well as including the proportional methods used to create building not just temples as the Maya had no unit of measure. The temples were the most covered in this article and other structures like the homes of leaders or other regular people has been left out completely which has many more theories and sources today. I would like to add a section on measurements in the temples and go into detail about village life and organization since this article also states that there was minimal organization without going into detail of the orientation of the pyramids around a centralized plaza, then a layer of houses for the leaders, and so on into the country would be family homes for workers of the land. I would also like to add a bit more structure to this article that covers a broad sense of time and evolution in Maya Architecture, since the Maya did not just have one type. There are also several other links that can be added to this page that link to other wiki pages. (another option is adding onto the Palenque site page itself)

Option 2

 * Article title: Doppelkirche Schwarzrheindorf
 * Article Evaluation:
 * This is a solid article but I would like to expand on the architectural elements of the church and how it relates to Medieval German Architecture and the lower level's frescoes which depict scenes 20 scenes of Ezekiel's vision of the destruction of Jerusalem and how that relates to the second and third crusades. I would also like to add a section on Arnold of Wied who is interred in the center of the church when usually archbishops are buried in the place they are archbishop of (cologne). I would also like to add a few more sources to this page and expound on the historical background.
 * Sources:
 * The sources and books I have regarding this topic seem to be behind paywalls and unavailable for the general public, I will keep searching though the stroy of this church is quite interesting.
 * The Second Crusade and the Cistercians by Derbes Anne

Option 3

 * Article title: Alcázar of Seville
 * Article Evaluation
 * For the most part this article reviews the main points and history but needs to be revised for continuity with Wikipedia's standards. I would also like to add a few more details about the history and add more pictures if possible so viewers can understand the layout and artistic elements. I would also like to expound on the ornamentation and other architectural motifs displayed in the other rooms.
