Option 1

 * Article title: Hyun Yi Kang
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is very short and contains less information on Kang than her faculty page at UC Irvine
 * As far as I am aware, it also is improperly titled, as Kang often goes by "Laura Hyun Yi Kang." I do not know whether or not this is by design. There is no mention of it on the article's Talk page.
 * Missing a lot of information present in articles about similar individuals, such as who her thesis advisor was, what her thesis itself was titled, and a basic description of the focuses of her body of work.
 * Sources
 * UCI Faculty page
 * WorldCat Profile
 * Review of Traffic in Asian Women in JHU Journal of Asian-American Studies, written by Kodai Abe
 * Podcast on New Books Network (Biographical Interview).
 * Recording of Berkeley Zoom Event "A Conversation with Professor Laura Hyun Yi Kang"

Option 2

 * Article title: Tule shoe
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is exactly two sentences long.
 * The article contains no citations.
 * There is nothing to be said as to how the shoe was invented or the method by which it was constructed.
 * Note that this could be due to the fact that its origin could have largely been captured in oral history that was either never recorded in text OR was eventually lost following the deaths of those who preserved this oral tradition.
 * Note that this is all speculation on my part.
 * There may not be enough sources to expand this article the way it needs to be expanded.

Option 3

 * Article title: The Indispensable Enemy
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is exactly two sentences long.
 * For a text that's considered to be so influential in its field, there is little to be said of the book itself.
 * It is in desperate need of improvement. However, this six-week assignment really does not give anyone enough time to do it justice. I should revisit it later.

 * Connie Young Yu & Steven I. Levine review in the Bulletin of Concerned Asian Scholars (criticism)

Option 4

 * Article title: Bondage (play)
 * Article Evaluation
 * Very short. Contains no plot synopsis of the play.
 * Also contains no material on the 2013 production of the playin Washington, D.C.
 * Most sources I found covered this production of the play.
 * It should be noted that searching "bondage play" leads to the page on the BDSM practice itself; the parentheses are required in the search bar in order to find the article.
 * Requesting a redirect to the page on the play itself from the BDSM practice page may be in order.
 * Sources
 * Should probably read the play itself for a synopsis.
 * Washington Post review of 2013 production
 * Washington Post PREVIEW of the 2013 production
 * The "More About the Play" page from the Actor's Theatre of Louisville.
