Option 1

 * Aleksey Nikolayevich Kuropatkin
 * Article Evaluation
 * Rated as a start class article. There is some good information on his early life and how he was instated into his positions. Some useful contributions to this page could be about his specific actions during specific battles in the Russo-Japanese war. This may help better understand his role in during the war and Russia's loss.

Option 2

 * Viet Minh
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article already has some information but it is a start class article. It's lacking sources in multiple sections of the page. It's a relevant topic considering that it successor is the Viet Cong group which will be responsible in essentially winning the Vietnam war or at least causing enough damage to make fighting there not worth it for the Americans. Also there could stand to have more on the sections about the Viet Minh's influence in Cambodia and Laos.

Option 3

 * Nuclear Testing in Tahiti
 * Article Evaluation
 * There is no article on this particular subject, although there is a page for Moruroa (which in an atoll of the area) which has had nuclear testing performed on and around it. I think it's a relevant topic considering that it was the French who colonized the islands and then decided to do nuclear testing despite the dangers to the indigenous peoples.

Option 4

 * Weltpolitik
 * Article Evaluation
 * While there is information on the term, there is very few sources.
 * There is some relevant information but it is not organized, making it hard for the reader to understand the point of this term.
 * There is speculation in the writing with no sources to back the information, nor the many dates and events included.

Option 5

 * British Cameroon
 * Article Evaluation
 * There aren't that many sources and apparently there is too much reliance on one source. I think this topic is an underrepresented one that adresses colonialism in a era that was trying to do away with formal colonies. I think more can be described on the actual mandate of the British Cameroon, as in a description of the document stating the British's authority over the territory and their impact.
