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
 * Neoclassical Metal


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is listed as part of the music genres task force. On this article, the main points for clarification/improvement are the tone/style, additional citations, and determining if the article contains original research. These listed suggestions were made back in 2007. I feel that 13 years later this genre has continued to evolve and by now it should be much more clear if claims were original arguments or arguments that can be adequately supported through research.


 * Sources
 * Because one of the points of improvement is determining if this article contains original arguments, I would say that there is not an adequate number of sources to back up the arguments made. Part of my work on this article would be going through the various arguments and ensuring that a source to back up the information has been provided.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Music Therapy for Alzheimer's Disease


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article has been rated as start class on the scale of completeness. This means that there are several aspects of this article that can be improved to make it a well-rounded article rather than an incomplete set of information. This article does not have any comments on the talk page. For this article, I would like to add in updated research as there has been numerous studies on the effects of music therapy for cognitive disorders such as Alzheimer's Disease since the last time this article was edited. I think updated research would be very beneficial in taking the article past the point of a started idea because it would show a timeline of our knowledge and understanding of the topic.


 * Sources
 * The article provides a good number of sources but at this point most of the cited research is outdated or has since been updated with new research and findings.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Robinson-Dadson Curves


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is very concise and I think that there are many aspects that could be elaborated on and further researched. In the talk section of this article there are some requests for clarification of the added visuals so that could also be a point to add.


 * Sources
 * Although the article is very short, I still do not think that the one source is adequate. If I was to go forward on this topic I would make sure that there is a decent amount of research and reputable sources on this topic to ensure I had enough selection to choose from.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Unfolding Music


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is also very short but is encompassed by the scope of the music theory wiki project. This article has been rated as a stub class meaning that it will take some work and clarifications to bring it up to the A class standard. Before choosing this article I would make sure that there is enough research/material to cover in order to bring this article up in terms of quality and class.


 * Sources
 * This article is shorter than the one mentioned in option 3 yet it contains 2 sources rather than one. Looking at the sources, I definitely think there are some areas of information that could be added to this article to make it a better representation of the topic at hand.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Vienna New Year's Concert


 * Article Evaluation
 * Because this is such a narrow, precise scope of a topic, I don't know that there is enough information to be added to the article to make it a good topic to choose. However, there are many revision ideas provided in the talk pages and the fact that this article falls into 3 different Wiki projects that each have their own set of suggestions geared toward their focus.


 * Sources
 * The provided sources seem accurate and adequate. None of the suggested revisions mention any problems with the sources. However, there are sources that are more up-to-date than the ones provided so I would have the ability to provide more updated information about the topic.
