Option 1

 * Article title
 * Nonverbal Communication


 * Article Evaluation
 * Although it is allowed to chose anything, yes, nonverbal communications has some relation to the topic of our course. It's listed as a C-level article with mid-importance, and is written fairly neutrally, however there are a few things that can be added, such as more information in the clothing category. There are some reliable citations, but there are also places where verification is needed, and some with no citation at all. There are some action happening in the article's Talk page, one being fairly recent, but most are months and years past. What I'm panning on doing is to strengthen some topics as I've taken a nonverbal communications course, and also brand out in other topics close to this such as Chronemics.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Dermot Kennedy


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is not very close to the topic, however, there are a few things to be added and changed, after having analyzed it. The article is listed as Start-class, and is written with a slight bias (perhaps leaning a little more favourably?). The information listed in the career section of the article is omitting the negative parts of his journey on becoming a singer, and also some recent events that occurred in Kennedy's life. The 'style and influence' category also needs to be updated. Almost all claims have a citation linked to it, however there are some where it is indicated a citation is needed. Most of the information was retrieved from Kennedy's social media, articles/interviews from radio stations, and news websites similar to The Guardian. The article's talk page is empty, with no discussions happening.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Without Fear (album)


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is also not very close to the topic of this course, and is related to the article above. It is listed as a Start-Class article, and it is quite neutral. There should be more information to be added to the background of the article's topic. All claims have citations, and are from sources where people would go to to look for album charts. Just like the Dermot Kennedy's article, this article does not have anything in the Talk page.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Joji


 * Article Evaluation
 * Like the others, this article is not close to the topic of this course. The article is listed as a C-class article, and is fairly neutral. More information should be added to the 'musical style' category of the article, and maybe more information should be added into the article about his album, Nectar. A lot of the information is cited, however there are also some that are notified with 'citation needed'. The citation come from sources that span from CNN, to interviews, to the artists's websites. The Talk page for this article has some posts, however there are only a few, and all are recent.
