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

 * Article title
 * Overconsumption
 * Article Evaluation
 * Approaches this concept in a way that meets the rules of Wikipedia. It also has photos, charts and graphs that pertain to the topic. It also says that this article needs to be updated from 2010, so I think that this will work out well for a topic to choose and find more up to date information on.


 * Sources
 * There are 47 sources and additional links to be clicked within the article. I think on a topic as large as overconsumption it will be easy to find more additional sources as well that are unbiased.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Greed
 * Article Evaluation
 * This is a very short and concise article which is good for Wikipedia as well as a good project to work on because there could be more information to add to this. It has external sources and links within the article currently.


 * Sources
 * There are currently 20 sources on this page, and I think Greed will be a topic that is able to find sources on.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Commercialism
 * Article Evaluation
 * The commercialism page on wikipedia is very very short, which is good but I feel more can be added. There also is a lack of citations which could make this a good topic to do because of the ability to add accredited sources to a page.


 * Sources
 * The page itself says that there is a lack of sources so it would be good to choose this to help add more additional online citations.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Frugality
 * Article Evaluation
 * The frugality page on Wikipedia appears to be very well set up with a short neutral concise piece of information. It is setup in a logical reasonable format.


 * Sources
 * There are multiple sources as well as good links on the "See Also" section.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Life spans of home appliances
 * Article Evaluation
 * This page is more of a list of charts with no writing. Because of this I think it would be interesting to expand on the idea of life spans of appliances. However, due to the lack of information I will likely pick a different topic of the above chosen.


 * Sources
 * There are sources associated with this article, but they are more of links to charts and graphs than pieces of information.
