Option 1

 * Article title: Deductive mood
 * Article Evaluation: This article is a stub and is comprised of a single paragraph. It cites a single reference, and the reference is a linguistics' glossary. This stub provides just a single example of the term in use in English but provides no further examples for its use in other languages. My goal would be to find several more sources and provide more examples in English and several languages if possible.
 * My initial searches found almost nothing on "Deductive Mood" but searching within "epistemic modality" seems to provide several helpful sources.
 * Sources: Ozturk, Ozge, and Anna Papafragou. "The Acquisition of Epistemic Modality: From Semantic Meaning to Pragmatic Interpretation." Language Learning and Development, vol. 11, no. 3, 2015, pp. 191-214.

Option 2

 * Article title: Hypothetical mood
 * Article Evaluation: This article is a stub and is just two sentences long. It cites a single reference, and the reference is a linguistics' glossary. This stub provides two examples, one in English and another in Lakota. I would try and add several more references and examples if possible. I would also conduct research to determine if there are any other languages that incorporate Hypothetical Mood.

Option 3

 * Article title: Paronym
 * Article Evaluation: This article is a stub and only 3 sentences explaining what a Paronym is and does. It does however provide 10 excellent examples of Paronyms in English. It cites the OED as its sole references, which it notes is hidden behind a paywall. I would expand the explanation of the topic, remove the OED source and hopefully find multiple sources that would be more accessible to the average Wiki user.

Option 4

 * Article title: Fossilization (linguistics)
 * Article Evaluation: This article is a stub and provides just three sentences describing this linguistic term. It references two kinds of fossilization but doesn't actually provide examples of them. Additionally, the few sentences that are provided are poorly worded. The single citation is for a linguistics' dictionary. My goal for this article would be to provide a clearer definition of the term, including real examples and expand the citations, including in other languages if possible.

Option 5

 * Article title: Adnoun
 * Article Evaluation: This is a stub article that has been flagged for "Clean-up" by Wikipedia, as the page needs to use more formal language. This stub provides two examples of Adnoun's in English but not for any other language. It provides only two citations, one of which is a dictionary. The stub is only four sentences long and is missing a citation for one of the sentences. My goal for this article would be to clean up the language, find at least one more source and replace the dictionary source if possible.
