Article Selection
Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

 * Frog and Toad
 * Article is short and descriptive. The "Origings" page should be expanded, as it is only a paragraph long with minimal detail. There should be more detail about the different stories and their plot. The source list could have more that would make the article more successful with content.

Option 2

 * Caps for Sale
 * This is a very short article without a lot of information (only 8 sources). It has a brief summary of the story which is successful and has a small section on the book's history. It is possible that there simply isn't a lot of information on this book. The sources are more recent (2015).

Option 3

 * Shel Silverstein
 * Article Evaluation
 * This is a long, detailed article about the life and career about Shel Silverstein. It has a long source list with a variety of sources from different years. It breaks down his work into different categories successfully -- music, poetry, theater.

Option 4

 * A Light in the Attic
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is completely lacking in history and information. It discusses its controversy in a brief paragraph and lists the different poems and only has three sources. It lacks crucial information like how the book was dedicated to his daughter who died at age 11. I believe this would be a strong article to edit as there is a lot that could be added.
