Option 1

 * Article title:Durant Oklahoma - Death of John Lee
 * Article Evaluation:This article lacks citations for a variety of sources to make it notable. I know these sources exist in the black newspapers of Oklahoma and Bennington and state wide papers making it notable.  The article also lacks a significant quantity of sources.  The lynching of John Lee and the larger issues of Durant's sun down town status, large presence of the KKK in the past, and strong affiliations with the UDC and their placement of several monuments in and around Durant are underrepresented and often unknow to or denied by Durant residents.  It may need its own article to fully cover.  Creating this new page with a variety of issues maybe to large for this class.

Option 2

 * Article title:Durant Independent School District
 * Article Evaluation:The Durant ISD article is at barebones. It is rated as just a start by Wikipedia, but is also considered low priority.  There is no talk presence that I can tell.  Outside of minor edits and limited edits in 2019 and 2018, little has been changed from a large update in 2016.  There is one reference website and the one in text citation link is not updated.

Option 3

 * Article title:Durant Oklahoma
 * Article Evaluation:This article as a whole is part of the Oklahoma WikiProject with a C rating and of High Importance. It is also part of the Cities project with a C rating.  The article over all can be disjointed.  Pertinent information among random facts, some with citation and some without.  Very hit or miss.  The death of John Lee stands out to me in needing editing, but the over all quality of the Durant article seems low.  Not sure if this in the scope of the class.

Option 4

 * Article title:Fort Washita
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article on Fort Washita is well cited and has a depth of information impressive to the first three. On the talk page it looks like they are looking for more photos of the site and that there is not a quality map of the site layout.  I also noticed that it does not mention the three different cemeteries, the monuments, or the current condition of the sites buildings.  Under WikiProjects it is part of the National Register of Historic Places and Oklahoma both at C class and of High Importance

Option 5

 * Article title:Hunch Back of Notre Dame
 * Article Evaluation:This is a well written article with a lot of contributors. There is a large quantity of citations, it is well laid out, and the links to other articles are well done.  It takes a really nice encyclopedic, non bias tone.  There is probably room to do some really deep research or find some lost media or obscure article, but I don't think it is something it needs.  Unfortunately I love this subject area, but don't thing I can make an impact or contribute significantly to this article.
