Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

 * Linguistics in the United States
 * The article itself is very small in size. Which I don't believe is always a bad thing, but I do feel that the topic deserves a lot more information then what it currently holds. All the content is relative to the topic being discussed there just isn't much there of it. I feel this topic if very objective and neutral in nature so the article that is there reflects this as well. Each claim so far has a reference and all references lead to other wiki pages so there is not empty links which makes it more credible. All the citations are reliable as well. I believe overall sections of the article could be greatly expanded and more useful information could be added.
 * https://doi.org/10.1515/iral.1963.1.1.21 - This is a journal that dives into how linguistics are taught in schools in America and it could be used as to provide more research into the background and what knowledge an average US citizen may have of linguistics.

Option 2

 * G-dropping
 * There is currently no Wikipedia article for this which is why I think it would make a great article to start. Personally, I find it very interesting and something I personally would like to know more about including the origins, what areas of the country uses this vernacular, and if it is decreasing or increasing in use and if so in what areas of the world.
 * Chapter 21 G-dropping and H-dropping. In: English After RP. Palgrave Macmillan, Cham - This Book dives into 'G-dropping' and who, where, and how they are using it. It also goes into H-dropping which could be used as a good comparison to the concept of g-dropping.

Option 3

 * Robin Queen
 * Much like the first article I chose, there is very little information about Robin Queen. I believe writing and updating the page for her would only help the field of linguistics as she has study niche topics such as the language of lesbians and would promote her as a female in linguists. The lead section of what the article provides gives a good introduction but that is almost all there is to the article. The topics are relevant and neutral of what is in the article but again could use expanding. The article could explore the specifics of her studies and more background of her as a professor and researcher.
 * https://lsa.umich.edu/linguistics/people/faculty/core-faculty/rqueen.html - could be helpful in deep diving into more of her work and research and is already used as a credible article in the current wiki page
