Option 1

 * Article title
 * Valleyspeak


 * Article Evaluation
 * There has been some talk that there is a contradiction within the article (see "Discourse marker"). I'm sure I can do some research as to where the discrepancy lies. Moreover, I want to add a "proliferation" section that really goes in depth as to how Valleyspeak began in wealthier, white neighborhoods in San Fernando Valley in the 1980s, quickly spread to the rest of the southern california region, and then made it to Hollywood which brought valleyspeak all throughout the world. I think there isn't enough on that as the article stands right now. I also want to add a bit more about the movie Clueless and how that must have played a role in how people view Valleyspeak. I will add stuff from the Los Angeles online almanac as well!

Option 2

 * Article title
 * California English


 * Article Evaluation
 * This already seems like a pretty lengthy, well developed article. However, of course it can still improve right? The "Urban Coastal Variety" section can use some additional citations. I've only ever edited one other article in my life (it was actually for Linguistics 201 with the same professor I have now), so I'm leaning against critiquing this one.
