Option 1

 * Article title
 * African cuisine


 * Article Evaluation
 * A very well written article, covers every region of Africa and their unique cuisine. Is very easy to read and understand, in addition of the pictures that are paired with the sections to give the reader a visual representation of the food. Solid from top to bottom including up-to-date sources, but I would like to add a section that would talk about the history of food in Africa. Even though the article breaks the continent into regions, I think the article misses whats the history behind each region cuisine.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Cuisine of the Southern United States


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is well written, has abundant information, and the information is up-to-date, but has some areas where it could be improved. Is easy understand and read, doesn't use a lot of complicated words. One of the additions that could be made will be creating a section to talk about the food of each state dishes more in depth, and provide more images of the dishes. Also, there could be added how the Southern cuisine has transcended way farther than just states in south and how popular the cuisine is in the whole country.

 * Article title 3
 * Food power


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is all over the place, doesn't have a particular order. This makes the text hard to read, and understand. Has a lot of area that could be improved, such as the structure and order in which the information is presented. An addition that could be make is putting the general concept of food power on a side and on the other side how powerful some countries are because of the food they produce. Another big improvement that could be made in this article is how food benefits the economy and gives advantages to some countries over others.
