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
 * Greece runestones
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article's content was relevant to the topic and actually starred as a featured article on the Wikipedia page. It was very well written and as neutral as it could be considering that the information it covered is historical information studied my hundreds. Runestones are old stone inscriptions written by vikings to recall their voyages. The article contains credible sources that lead me to believe it was extremely credible due to the sources coming from research institutes and universities. The talk page also had very few criticisms of the article and named it one of the featured articles on the site. Overall, very well-written, clear and interesting article. Below, I have added a source that could contribute to the article in providing more background on the runestones.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Buildings and architecture of Bristol


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article was extremely well-written, relevant to the topic and was also starred as a featured article on the Wikipedia page. The article was written neutrally and each claim had a citation. The citations are indeed reliable and the article itelf is rather interesting covering the types of architecture featured in the English town of Bristol. In addition, on the Talk page it received a Good Article Review of a Pass. Below, I have added a source that highlights the 11 most impressive buildings in Bristol according to The Culture Trip, in order to add more visuals.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Freedom Monument


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is the one controversial starred featured article from the list. It was relevant to the topic, however the article's neutrality can be seriously questioned with overly biased vocabulary used to explain the monument's history. Each claim also does not have a citation where it goes as far as to make me question the credibility of the article due to the biased spin on some language. Some citations are reliable while others are just virtual tours of the monument. I think there needs to be more objectivity added to this article and the Talk page mentions its questionable language and some copyright issues that go along with that. Below I have added a credible source in order to possibly give the article more information to make it more credible and add context to the time of post-soviet Latvia.
