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
 * Land Apportionment Act of 1930 (Zimbabwe) [this is the main one I am considering; the others are just in case this one falls through]


 * Article Evaluation
 * I came across this term while reading the wikipedia page on the Southern Rhodesia African National Congress. There is not article for this topic, but upon further inspection there was a large variety of sources that can potentially be used for an article. The article could have a categories such as key people involved, legacies of the land act, its implementation/backlash, and a background on what property rights looked like before its enactment.

Option 2

 * Article title

Eritrea


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article has outdated citations and needs to be revised. The content related to politics and government has issues with point of view, and need to be revised in a more neutral tone. However, there also seems to be plenty of images adding to the information. The content is organized in such a way as to make it digestible, easy to navigate.

 * Mohammad, Abdulkader Saleh. The Saho of Eritrea Ethnic Identity and National Consciousness. Lit, 2013.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Western State (Nigeria)


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is considered a stub, and in need of expansion. There is only one citation, and one sentence in the lead (there is only a lead). The article could be expanded by describing the developments that lead to the splitting of the region into several states, as well as descriptions of the multiple groups in the region.
