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

Option 1

 * Masdar City
 * Masdar City


 * The article contains very relevant to the topic. It is all based on the factual data from the city. The article is written neutrally however it lacks some information. Each claim does have a citation attached. The citations link to reliable sources written by verifiable accounts. The topic briefly includes connections to topics of global significance. It could include more topics about the impact of the city on climate change because it uses clean energy and is very efficient. It would be good to add in some data on its impact on climate change, say the carbon footprint of the individual person there.
 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic?

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Park City, Utah
 * Park City, Utah


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is based on physical town in the mountains of Utah. It contains several stats about Park City's features. The content within the article is relevant to the topic. The article doesn't have any sides because it is a reporting on the town not an opinion. The claims are supported by citations however I don't think small claims verified by a simple google maps are cited such as distance from a close town. The citations are reliable and they can be accessed. There are a few older ones over 10 years however the physical features of the town such as the total ski area don't change. The article also includes updated statistics from recent studies. The article does not include topics on a global issue such as climate change however that is an easy fix.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Freeride World Tour
 * Freeride World Tour


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is based on the Freeride World Tour for skiing. The information is relevant including winners of the event and locations. It doesn't include enough information in my opinion on the impact of the event on aspects to the areas where they go including tourism. This is a potential area for addition. The article is written in a neutral tone neither criticizing or elevating the Tour. There are no citations however there are several references at the bottom of the page which contain the stats and information presented in the article. The cites are reliable and the claims made are easily reliable. The article does not address any one of wikipedias equity gaps or topics of global significance.
