"Article selection"
After reading an article titled "Cannabis and Judaism", the article did not seem sufficient to the topic. It does meet most of the criteria regarding neutrality, citations and the citations' reliability, however, the relevance of the information provided were somewhat off topic and unnecessary. The article was not long, which is not the issue, but some of the information brought to hand including "that Jewish families are thought to be less authoritarian and more tolerant toward 'intellectual experimentation,'" does not seem to be an appropriate fact which was not proved in the correct manner. If the author included statistics regarding Jewish families, that would make it sound less biased.

After reading an article titled "Synagogues in Cairo", compared to the article "Cannabis and Judaism", seems to be more sufficient regarding the criteria relevance, neutrality, citations and the citations' reliability. The article gives a detailed background regarding the Jewish population in Cairo and four solid examples without any explicit bias voiced in the statements. The authors include citations from the Census and many reliable news websites.

After reading an article titled "Capital punishment in Israel", the article includes detailed facts regarding the history of capital punishment in Israel. There have been two death penalty executions which go into depth, using a table to organize the facts including the name, the date, the crimes, which president it was under, and how the death was executed. The content is very relevant to the topic, it is written neutrally, and each claim has a reliable citation.
