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
 * Junior Tennis


 * Article Evaluation
 * The USTA Junior tournaments section is very unorganized and does not cite any sources. It also talks in detail about the "Tennis Recruiting" system, which does not fall under the USTA. It cites subjective facts, and makes unverified claims. The USTA website would provide an organized source to draw from to explain their system more accurately. There is no attention dedicated to the history and development of junior tennis under the USTA, or the ITF either.


 * Sources
 * usta.com, tennisrecruiting.com

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Winchester High School


 * Article Evaluation
 * The page is currently a Stub, briefly discussing sports offered at the school, before listing famous alumni. Things it could benefit from including: the recent controversy over their decision to remove their mascot from being a Sachem, and other details about the student life like clubs. Could also note that it is a Blue Ribbon school. Also, the alumni list has been flagged as needing verification.


 * Sources
 * News coverage of the sachems change, any official WHS pages discussing student clubs (MUN, Math team, science olympiad, etc.)

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Rhythm of War


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is missing some key components. The plot summary only covers the introduction, and there is no section dedicated to reception or public success.


 * Sources
 * The book itself, book review websites. NY Bestseller Lists for performance/public success, as is typical.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * USA Ultimate


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article goes into very little detail about how USAU organizes their specific divisions of competition. Not much has been spent discussing the development of the different divisions either.


 * Sources
 * The USAU website specifically, Ultiworld reporting and Skyd magazine are some of the bigger sources of news.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * NPR Tiny Desk Concerts


 * Article Evaluation
 * Aside from an extensive list of the musicians that have featured on Tiny Desks, very little has been written about the production, process, reception, and effect on the music industry as a whole. Nothing's been given to the special features they've done (Tiny Desk Fest, Black History Month) and very little is written about the Tiny Desk Contest.


 * Sources
 * Various interviews, such as https://hypebeast.com/2020/7/npr-tiny-desk-concert-musicians-of-color and https://www.forbes.com/sites/emilyblake1/2017/07/20/npr-tiny-desk-late-night/?sh=4aaa5cc17df8
