Option 1

 * Article title: Office of Price Administration
 * Article Evaluation:
 * This article is a bit better than a stub and contains much of the basic information needed on the OPA, including when it existed, what its purpose was, and how it was created. It could go more in depth into some of its features, though, such as the OPA points system. The content is a little thin and sometimes jumps from topic to topic, particularly at the end of the article, in the section about the office's administration. The article discusses the OPA's fictional counterpart in a novel, then how it unsuccessfully tried to revoke a license of a car dealer, and then how the Office of Price Stabilization performed actions similar to the OPA during the Korean War. If more information was added, then these facts could each go in their respective sections. Other than that, the article would be most benefited by additional images and citations. Most of its central claims are sourced (albeit with print material inaccessible online), but there are only 6 citations in total for this page, and it does not contain very many academic journals or contemporaneous newspaper articles about the OPA. Out of the 2 available links for sources, 1 does not work. The other sources are books or print journal articles. The talk page has not been active since 2006, and it has been rated as Start-Class on the quality scale with a mid-importance rating. It is part of two WikiProjects, one on the United States and the other on Economics.
