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

 * Article title
 * Death Midwife


 * Article Evaluation
 * It is relevant and written fairly well. There are some citations missing and a prompt at the top of the page that asks any reader to help out by adding citations to back up claims. It ended up being more about hospice than what I originally expected. Probably won't choose this topic. If I were to choose this topic, I could most likely help by providing more references, but I think it needs to be something I'm moderately interested in.


 * Sources
 * Almost 30 references

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Death by misadventure


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article can hardly be called an article as it is a single paragraph and only references a single source. This article needs a lot of work to the point that I would essentially be writing a brand new article from almost scratch. That is not the type of project I am interested in, so I will not be choosing this topic.


 * Sources
 * Only 1

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Post-Mortem Photography


 * Article Evaluation
 * Fairly good length with well defined sections. There is a lot of chatter on the talk page leading me to believe that this article has a lot of presumptive content, unreferenced information, and there is dispute as to whether or not the author/editor presents a neutral stance.


 * Sources
 * 27 sources

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Mourning Portraits


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is closely related to that of "Post-Mortem Photography" as it relates to a time in history before photography and only includes paintings. This article is quite short with few sectioning, but it does exhibit lots of images, which is fitting given the subject matter. This article could benefit from additional sources. I think this is the best option for the editing project.
