Option 1

 * Article title
 * Architectural Sculpture


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article includes a very brief description of architectural sculpture and its uses. Several countries are covered, but continents such as North and South America, Europe, and Asia are mostly neglected. The article seems very neutral, stating facts and citing sources regularly throughout. There is a bit of history, but very few dates on the few countries provided.

 * https://www.history.com/news/8-astonishing-ancient-sites-in-the-americas

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Roman Architectural Revolution


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article does a good job at maintaining neutrality, but there is little to no information on the Roman Architectural Revolution. Description of innovations are limited, and some of the sentence structure is confusing upon first glance.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Sagrada Familia


 * Article Evaluation
 * A very well-organized, full article, but there is little information on the background of the building. More information can be added to the construction of the building, and there is little to no information on one of the burials (Josep Maria Bocabella). Maintains a neutral tone and includes a lot of sources to reference.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Victorian Architecture


 * Article Evaluation
 * Great description of the period and great pictures and sources used! The "International Spread" section could use some breadth because it only relates to English speaking countries with the one exception of Sri Lanka. Facts and information are expressed well, and the article maintains neutrality.
