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

Option 1

 * Article title
 * Polar Climate


 * Article Evaluation
 * This is a C-Class article with obvious gaps in content and an underdeveloped structure. This article could benefit from more recent information, better graphics, and additional subjects such as climate change and its impact on polar weather or the governance of the region and the military personal present in it.  Altogether, much could be done to make the article even a more loose summary of the subject, if not a complete study or developed article.


 * Sources
 * Ultimately out of date and too limited to support such a broad topic.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Industrial Age


 * Article Evaluation
 * This is a Start-Class article with little to no development, briefly touching upon the steam engine and the textile industry. Considerably more could be done to talk about the standard of living during this time and the changes in society as a result of the Industrial Age.  This could be framed in the English context and then broaden to other countries and industrializing communities around the world.


 * Sources
 * Insufficient at best. The few sources used are largely unacademic or weak in their assessment of the Industrial Age.  Considerable work should be done to shore up this article and to connect other articles of relevant topics.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Venice-Simplon Orient Express


 * Article Evaluation
 * This is a Class-C article that is well rounded in its discussion of current events related to the train, but could use considerable information regarding its history and presence throughout historical events. Information regarding who rode the train would also be incredibly interesting.  Additions could also include its place in the public persona, represented in Agatha Christies Murder on the Orient Express.


 * Sources
 * Sources used are relatively recent which is understandable given the article's focus on more recent information regarding the train, but are hardly reliable given their focus on vacations and tourist information. Of additional concern is the use of the Belmond website, the parent company of the Simplon-Orient Express, which could be expected to be incredibly biased.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * 2020 Winter Youth Olympics


 * Article Evaluation
 * This is a well rounded C-Class article that is incredibly well developed in the few areas that it does mention. It would benefit from sections regarding the organization of the event, the workforce and volunteers, as well as the community outreach that occurs alongside the Olympic program.


 * Sources
 * The sources used are extremely reliable and up-to-date. These could even be used to expand the article, with few additions needed.

Option 5
