Option 1

 * Article title
 * Basketball
 * Article Evaluation
 * Has a good lead, but could definitely use more detail and a better summary on the sport. The history could be longer and it could explain in better detail how exactly basketball was founded. The article could also talk about more about records held by basketball players and why this is important to the game. It could also talk about different countries and their participation in this sport.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * State of Palestine
 * Article Evaluation
 * Needs more information in the article about its history and brutal past in which hundreds of thousands have died over the years due to the attempted colonization of Israeli settlers. Could be longer and have much more information because its history stretches back to millennia and it is known as the Holy Land.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * American Football


 * Article Evaluation
 * Needs much more history talked about and the recent impact the sport has had on politics. This game has impacted itself beyond the gridiron and dives deep into the real world. For example Colin Kaeprinick's knee to the American flag took a large toll on Americans as many were divided by his action.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Mathematics


 * Article Evaluation
 * Could use some more history on the subject. Mathematicians stretch as far back as early human civilization, and new history is found every day on mathematics. This means that lots of new information needs to be updated as well. There are lots of new formulas discovered as well that need to be talked about.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Computer Science


 * Article Evaluation
 * Its growth rate in the past few years needs to be talked about more and how it future growth rate will be predicted. How many computer science major students across the glove needs to be talked about more as well to find a better estimate on its growth pattern. The history is good but could be a little more detailed and could also talk about different languages.
