Option 1

 * Article title Puerto Ricans in New York City
 * Article Evaluation This page is quite extensive and covers the Puerto Rican experience over several decades. A lot of the facts and ideas are referenced towards the bottom of the Wikipedia article. There does not seem to be much bias regarding the information here. However, if I were to edit this article, I would want to include ideas regarding the Puerto Rican experience with the American racial binary system. i want to discuss the racial/social conditions of Harlem in the 30s and how it related to several riots, including the Harlem Riot of 1935.

Option 2

 * Article title Harlem riot of 1935
 * Article Evaluation This article is not very well developed. There is basic information here, however they do not delve into a lot of the racial/social/political aftermath of the event of the Harlem Riot. It also does not focus on the idea of the media mix-up of the young Puerto Rican boy that incited the riots. I think this is a very important topic to discuss since the book Major Problems focused a lot on the lack of journalism regarding the race of the boy. The idea of the invisibility of Puerto Ricans in the US during this time is veyr important to identify.
