Option 1

 * Article title: "Russification of Ukraine"
 * Article Evaluation: This article has a lot information from it, however according to the talk page, all of this information is cut and paste from the more general "Russification" page and has had almost no modifications and edits made. I was looking more specifically at the half of the article Pre-Soviet Union, and although rather scattered and unorganized, there is a lot of raw content to work with, along with what seems to be a good amount of citations from primary and secondary sources dealing with this topic. Especially with how relevant the relationship between Ukraine and Russia has become with the recent invasion, this article has a lot of relevance and enough information to be crafted into a high quality wikipedia page. A lot of the work I would have to put into this topic would pertain most to its structure and organization, verification of information and citations, as well as making edits to cut what seems to be some unnecessary information, and with that replacements with any gaps in topic coverage.
 * Sources: " History of Ukraine - 2nd, Revised Edition: The Land and Its Peoples ", “The Gates of Europe: A History of Ukraine,” by Serhii Plokhy , and “Ukraine and Russia: From Civilized Divorce to Uncivil War,” by Paul D'Anieri are all books that give coverage to this topic, along with a plethora of other sources already used within the existing article that provide enough information about this topic to make it notable.

Option 2

 * Article title: "Russo-Persian War (1722–1723)"
 * Article Evaluation: This a C rated, high importance article, so there is a strong foundation of information, but still significant room for improvement. The current outline is well organized and easy to follow with good pieces of information covering the chronological events of the war. However, the amount of information is pretty thin for what was a year long war between two powers, especially as it was the first of a few conflicts between the two. I think a lot of editing would include trying to bolster the amount of information, which may include breaking down some of the more general categories, like preparations and aftermath, into more specific coverage areas reenforcing the pre-existing information.
 * Sources: "Atkin, Muriel (1980). Russia and Iran, 1780-1828", "Wounded Years: The Russo-Iran Wars", and "Sicker, Martin (2001). The Islamic World in Decline: From the Treaty of Karlowitz to the Disintegration of the Ottoman Empire" are all credible sources that provide significant information on this topic, along with what seems to bet at least 5 to 8 sources referenced in the article that have provided a majority of the facts already utilized in the article.

Option 3

 * Article title: Kreenholm Manufacturing Company
 * Article Evaluation: It has a good structure to it, but is overall thin in terms of material. Lots of references are made to certain events that occurred throughout the companies, however there is little expansion on these notable facts. A majority of the information shared is very basic content pertaining to either the make up of the factory, or a very general timeline of its existence. I think there is a lot of room to fill throughout the three different time periods covered as sections, as well as likely notable enough events that may deserve their own sections or paragraphs.
