Option 1

 * Article title
 * Comstock Saloon:
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is minimal in its presentation, only presenting a brief overview of the place. No talk page activity either. The brief paragraph has two sources cited, which leads to news articles (New York Times and the SF Chronicle) talking about the saloon. Both sources are old as 2014 and 2015. In a quick search up on Google and my university's library system, I found three recent sources about the Comstock Saloon, one about its land history, the history written on its plaque, and announcements of its reopening in 2021. The talk page has no discussion at the moment. I feel like this would be a good opportunity to add more information regarding the Comstock Saloon with more updated and recent information that has been published.:

 * https://www.sfgate.com/bars/article/San-Francisco-Comstock-Saloon-announces-return-16508280.php
 * Beloved San Francisco bar Comstock Saloon announces reopening after extended closure
 * Guerrero, Susana.  TCA Regional News; Chicago. 04 Oct 2021.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Italian hardcore:
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article gives a short, simple introduction of what 'Italian hardcore' is, which is a hardcore punk scene which was active in 1980s. The history written gives a brief overview of what happened in the movement, though every paragraph has a [citation needed] mark, which the article could have been written as a first-person account, or the person might have written it by knowledge from somewhere else. Another good opportunity to add information, as well as verify the claims past writers contributed to the article. I feel like the only hurdle is untranslated articles, which would be beneficial to have as sources, though machine translation can twist some information, making it hard to determine if it is accurate or not.:
 * Sources
 * https://daily.bandcamp.com/scene-report/italy-punk-scene-report
 * https://turpidzine.weebly.com/italian-punk-hardcore.html (It references from this Italian article about hardcore punk in Italy, but brings to dead link/deleted page, so here is a mirror taken from the Wayback Machine.)
 * Dark Enactments in Milan: A Practice-Centred Exploration of an Italian Post-Punk Subculture of the '80s Tosoni, Simone

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Kool-Aid Man (video game):
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is very short, only having a brief overview of the video game, and more details on the side such as video game credits. Finding more details about this game is rather difficult, other than finding forums and fan-made wikis talking about the game. There is one from GameFAQs, which discusses the game's mechanic. If I am going to add more detail other than gameplay, I want to at least add some sort of reviews section or its impact on the Atari 2600, which failed due to many games being poorly made and sold.:

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Caffè d'orzo:
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article has a good overview on what kind of coffee Caffè d'orzo is, as well as a brief look in its history. The talk page only has a discussion on how it is pronounced mostly. While the article feels complete, I feel there should be more in depth on what the coffee is, as well as how the coffee is prepared. Similar to something like this coffee article, which is about the famous Cappuccino:
 * Sources
 * https://www.thekitchn.com/caff-dorzo-the-italian-espresso-that-actually-isnt-187657
 * https://espressoinsiders.com/coffee-reviews/what-is-orzo-barley-coffee/
 * https://www.tasteatlas.com/caffe-dorzo

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Class of '99:
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is short and packed already with major information regarding the supergroup, which is short lived as well. It explains the purpose of the supergroup, the media that is related to the band, as well members from each band that formed into this group, which are bands that are rather popular such as Alice in Chains and Rage Against the Machine. I feel like with this connection, there can be more info somewhere about this super group from each of the member's perspective, knowing that they were once part of the super group.:

KSFS Radio
There is no Wikipedia article for this yet, which is the college radio station that my college has. I feel though it deserves a spot in Wikipedia with the many other college radio stations that also have an article. The farthest reference and mention to KSFS was back in the late 1970s, when punk rock was huge around this era.
