Option 1

 * Article title
 * Higher Education in the United States


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article does not delve specifically into what I want to talk about, which is: the need for "safe spaces" at universities for students with mental health. However, there was a small section discussing a general overview of mental health in universities in the U.S. I was thinking I could add on to that section and discuss the need for safe space for this specific population of students, and why it is such a controversial debate today. I could also improve this section of the article by adding more up-to-date information regarding the statistics of college students with mental health in the U.S. I'm not sure if the information in that section is reliable information as a whole. There were some grammatical errors, as well as citation errors; citations for certain claims were missing. I found places where links could have been added for more in-depth information. The talk page did not mention the section I'm referencing, but I think I could add the need for a section on safe spaces for mental health college students within the article.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Prison Overcrowding


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article does an okay job in explaining my next topic of interest, which is: the reduction of prison overcrowding, specifically its risks and ways we could solve this problem. It's a pretty short article, which I think is good because I'm able to add more relevant information to it. There's sections containing risks of prison overcrowding and the potential solutions to this problem, but there aren't many sources that were linked to back up the information. These sections could use more citations, because it appears to not be as reliable if the bulk of info given came from only 1 source. There are barely any links that I could use to seek further information about this topic, so I think there needs to be improvement in that area. I checked the Talk page and it was mentioned how this article needs to be able to describe the concept of prison overcrowding, rather than just explain it. This article also seems a bit biased, in that it revolves around the perspective that prison overcrowding is a negative thing; however, I think it's a good start for the information I could provide within it using credible sources.
