Option 1

 * Communication noise
 * Article Evaluation


 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic?
 * Yes. It does discuss four different types of communication noise and briefly explain each type. However, there are a few sections missing, such as the possible causes of noise in communication. There could be a lot more useful information included in the article.
 * The lead is concise and does go over everything that was mentioned in the article, on top of a brief description of what the concept is.
 * It seems that most of the sections in this article are quite underdeveloped and could use some work to validate and expand the article.


 * Is it written neutrally?
 * Yes. It is simply informative. There are no opinions being taken or any present bias towards a topic mentioned in the article.


 * Does each claim have a citation?
 * No, there seems to only be one source of information for this article.
 * There has not been a variety of sources to increase the validity and reliability of this article.


 * Are the citations reliable?
 * The citation seems to be one from a book/textbook; thus, it is reliable. However, there is only one single source for the entire article, which means that the article is lacking in validity.


 * Ideas for development
 * Consider adding a section for the causes of noise in communication.
 * Consider adding a section indicating how to overcome noise in communication.

Option 2

 * Internal Communications
 * Article Evaluation
 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic?
 * Yes. There is a good amount of information included in the article and it covers many different sections that could be of value to a reader. There does not seem to be any sections that are underdeveloped.
 * Is it written neutrally?
 * Yes, the article is neutral. It is informative and has many sections that could be of value to someone researching this topic.
 * Does each claim have a citation?
 * There are a lot of statements that do not have a citation attached to it. The whole lead and first paragraph do not have any citations throughout the text.
 * Are the citations reliable?
 * Many sources that I checked in the bibliography have been moved. It needs to be updated.
 * Some are no longer available or broken links.
 * Many of them are UK articles but it does not say in the lead that they are focusing on internal communications in the UK. If that is the case, they should indicate that because it may differ in different regions.
 * There is a good variety of sources in the bibliography which leads me to believe that, if the sources work, the information is valid
 * Most of the sources are from before 2010, so there could be updated information on the subject by now. A source review could be necessary.

 * Visual Communication
 * Article Evaluation
 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic?
 * All of the major sections are relevant to the topic of visual communication.

 * Yes, the article is neutral and there is no indication of any bias.
 * Does each claim have a citation?
 * No, there seems to be a lack of reliable sources and a lack of citations throughout the article.
 * Are the citations reliable?
 * The citations seem to be out dated, and a few of the links were broken and I was unable to validate the information that was used.
 * Ideas for development
 * Consider adding a history of visual communication section and how it became a type of communication.
 * Develop the lead to properly represent the article.
