Option 1

 * Article title
 * Aubette (building)


 * Article Evaluation
 * As being said on its Wikipedia website, this article is a stub in a need of expanding. The article only has a few sentences about its background. It lacks the scholarly art historian content and images of the building. More details on artists and the contribution made by them to modern art need to be demonstrated. Also, there is only one citation that is not from an academic scholar source so it would be necessary to provide more professional and reliable sources. The talk page shows that this article is categorized as a stub page without importance ranked. The only message posted is for the modified external link.


 * Sources
 * Andrew, Nell. “Sophie Taeuber’s Visceral Abstraction.” Art Journal Vol.73, No (2014):12-29 . Accessed January 18, 2020. https://www.jstor.org/stable/43967597
 * Van Straaten, Evert. Theo van Doesburg: Constructor of the New Life. Amsterdam: Kroller-Muller Museum, 1994: 65-85.  Lanchner, Carolyn. Sophie Taeuber-Arp (1981): 9-19. New York: The Museum of Modern Art

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Bart van der Leck


 * Article Evaluation
 * Within the talk page, it is showed that this article is ranked as a stub-class page. It already includes a detailed biography of the artist and few information of his collections, which are relevant to the topic and clear to read. It applies a neutral tone without attempt to persuade the readers. However, more details on artists' artworks and his aesthetic ideology need to be added. Also, as an art-related topic, more images and medias would be beneficial for the audience to understand. The article now has three references which are reliable but not up-to-date, so more contemporary sources and information need to be included. In the talk page, one person expresses the curiosity and interest on the topic, which makes it more necessary to choose it and modify.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Victory Boogie Woogie


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article includes the history and stories of the painting. It employs the neutral voice without any biased information. A number of sources cited is reliable and related to the topic which are helpful. However, the contents provided are more like anecdotes and don't stand for the painting itself solidly. A formal analysis of the painting needs to be added considering its importance and influence in modern abstract art movement. Within the talk page it is ranked as a stub page and there is no message and conversation posted.
