Option 1

 * Article title
 * Psychology of Music Preference


 * Article Evaluation
 * Introduction: short, but well put and gets the reader a good idea of the article Personality and Music Preference: well written and likely does not need any changes besides in a few of the personality traits where there are one or two sentences.  Individual and situational influences on musical preferences: needs some work in pretty much every section. This is where the majority of work needs to be done.  Adding new subsections?
 * Claims are well cited with good citations, no problems here. The only problem is there just is not enough information.  Pros:
 * I have anecdotal experience and I am interested in the topic
 * There is a lot set up that I can work off of
 * Fairly common topic, should be easy to build on Cons:
 * Might be hard to create new sections


 * Sources
 * I will probably end up relying on already existing sources in the article since there are so many
 * Xue C, Li T, Yin S, Zhu X, Tan Y. The influence of induced mood on music preference. Cogn Process. 2018 Nov;19(4):517-525. doi: 10.1007/s10339-018-0872-7. Epub 2018 Jul 12. PMID: 30003367.
 * Baker F, Bor W. Can music preference indicate mental health status in young people? Australas Psychiatry. 2008 Aug;16(4):284-8. doi: 10.1080/10398560701879589. PMID: 18608148.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Relative Pitch


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is pretty much completely barren, there is nothing to build off of here. The introduction is all over that place, however, and it would need work first before anything else gets done. Good sources, just a messy article.  Pros:
 * Needs a lot of work, completely fresh
 * Good intro to work off of Cons:
 * I know basically nothing about topic
 * Might be hard to start by adding subtopics and information
 * Would require some work to familiarize myself with the topic first

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Auditory arrhythmia


 * Article Evaluation
 * Intro: short, could be worked on Characteristics: short, needs to be built upon  Neurological bases of music: again, very short and needs to be built upon. Solid Foundation, however  Every subsection is basically like this
 * Not nearly enough sources for the information provided, however, the few sources are good.  Pros:
 * Plenty of headers that just need detailed work done.
 * Good groundwork to build off of
 * I would know what I need to research Cons
 * LIttle knowledge of subject
 * Medical, requires more strict citation rules

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Illusory continuity of tones


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is just ridiculously short, needs a lot of work done. This article's introduction is also very confusing and hard to follow with absolutely no sources.  Pros:
 * Plenty of work to be done, is pretty much all neurological
 * Intro exists, but it is confusing and needs work Cons:
 * Precursory familiarity with subject must be completed
