Option 1

 * Article title
 * Treaty of Windsor (1386)


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article establishes brief relevant background information about the treaty but does not go into much detail, particularly regarding it's impact and notability. The article includes a quote from a historian about the importance of the treaty for Portuguese-English relations, but does not elaborate on the quote at all or explain how the treaty still operates in the present day. The article uses only 3 sources, one of which is the historian's quote. The other 2 sources include the treaty itself and a book about Portuguese history. Perhaps there is a need for additional perspectives.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Chanson de Jérusalem


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article significantly lacking details. It includes only two sentences establishing the bare minimum about the poem- simply naming the topic which the poem was written about, the century of its origin, and briefly mentioning it's influence in a future poem. There needs to be more information about the context and impact of the poem, perhaps elaborating on how the poem was a celebration of a siege and the cultural impact that may have made.


 * Sources
 * This source, entitled "Pagans and Others in the Chanson de Jérusalem" is an article chapter within a larger book, and would be useful for establishing more context as well as examining the impact of word choice and cultural meanings of the "classification of the unknown" (likely regarding the Christian centered worldview vs "Pagans and Others" that is mentioned in the article's abstract.) https://www.brepolsonline.net/doi/10.1484/M.IMR-EB.1.101128

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Walter de Caen


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is significantly lacking in content and sources. It features only two citations which are both the exact same page number, which may be a redundant typo or formatting issue. The single source appears to be from a genealogical research book and should be examined for credibility. Perhaps the editor of this article could view the original source and attempt to trace the author's own sources to try to find more information, such as the claim that it is "widely believed he fought at the Battle of Hastings."


 * Sources
 * Most information on de Caen appears to be from genealogical researchers who are primarily interested in his descendants and development into a different last name throughout the generations. This source is from a genealogical website and includes significantly more information on de Caen from additional genealogical research books that help to support it's overall credibility. The original sources may be better utilized. https://www.geni.com/people/Walter-de-Caen-Lord-of-Sibton/6000000015042328650
