The article I have chosen to evaluate which is in need of editing on Wikipedia is: 7-Eleven gas. When clicking on the page to assess, it immediately expresses that specific sections “need additional citations for verification”. This in itself is a clear indication that the article is not up to par with Wikipedia standards. It clearly states that reliable sources are a key element of quality articles in “Evaluating Wikipedia: Tracing the evolution and evaluating the quality of articles”. It also expresses that there should be clear structure in the article for it to be one of “quality”. While looking at the 7-Eleven Wikipedia page, there is a pretty distinct structure, with images and subheadings specific to each section. Yet, when taking a deeper look at the subheadings, the heading “fuel” was put under the large title “Global”, which does not go with the different countries around the world. It should be in its own section, discussing fuel in more detail, as there is not very much written about the topic, when it should probably have more information due to the topic being a gas station. Though, while looking at the opening of the article, the lead is not very detailed. With only 3 sentences or so, I think there could be a better lead into the article, giving a bit more background information that is relevant to the topic and giving a better overview. While looking at the references section, it does not look like there are very many legitimate sources from what is listed. And more legitimate citations should be added in to make the article more accurate and valid. Overall, the 7-Eleven article is in need of many adjustments in order to be an accurate and valid Wikipedia article.

I am editing/adding to the Masonville Place Wikipedia page:

The center was constructed at the North end of the city, which was agricultural land at the time. Masonville Place was the first multilevel shopping center in all of London, Ontario. In 1991, the center expanded, adding over 70 new stores, which included a miniature gold course in the middle of the mall. At the time, the larger retailers included: Sears, Eaton's and Loblaws. A couple of years later, Zellers was added as one of the larger retailers in the mall. In 1998/1999, Loblaws closed down, and was then replaced by London's first Famous Players Silver City.
