Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

 * Social Comparison Theory
 * I found this article to be very well written. It talked about topics related to the main topic and wasn't completely unbalanced in the information that was provided about each subcategory. I did not notice very much bias as it was mostly informative and just providing background and more insight on what social comparison theory is and the framework of this topic. Many of the citations are reliable and offer sources that are recent and relevant. Many of the sources are fairly old but they are still reliable and lay good groundwork for when this theory was formed. Though this article did not specifically talk about underrepresented or misrepresented people, it generalized everyone in to one group which in a way becomes inclusive. The talk page does poses some useful tips such as adding another theory that merges with the social comparison theory but the majority of the talk page is little corrections or organizational things that people have contributed.

Option 2

 * Co-regulation
 * This article was written neutrally and provided a good amount of information to get a basis of understanding about what co-regulation is. This article lacked media as there was no pictures or any form of media that expanded on the topic or highlighted certain ideas to make them stick out more. There are quite a few sources that are applied to each claim or statement made but not every claim has a citation. Most of the topics main ideas are expanded on but not everything has a source. These citations do seem reliable but I would also have to look into every single one to make sure it was trustworthy. There is no discussion on the talk page but this page is part of the WikiProject Psychology. This topic doesn't specifically mention one group of people and is fairly generalized so again, it doesn't tackle any gap but instead just leaves it open for everyone.

Option 3

 * Frog pond effect
 * This article lacks an introduction and doesn't clearly state the topic of the article and what it will discuss which can deter people from looking into it further. The rest of the article has more information and is much more organized. It discusses ideas similar to this one and gives more information on the sub categories directly correlate to the frog pond effect. I feel as the verbiage of this article isn't good and it doesn't seem super well written to me. It isn't bad but I do think some things could be rephrased or better discussed. This article does have 20 sources and the majority of the citations are from .org or other websites/journals that are trustworthy. It also does mention an equity gap in which it talks about racial diversity in schools and how this can affect many things. Overall, I think this article could use a few changes and a few extra sentences to give a better overview but other than that I think it could be a good article to use.

Option 4

 * Social Media and Identity
 * This is an article I had already done an in depth evaluation on. It is well written, unbiased, and well organized. The citations are relaible and the introduction gives you an immediate answer about what the article will discuss and how it can be organized. It only has one picture that does not really add much to the article so it could use more forms of media. This article also has uneven weight of content where some topic is heavily discussed whereas other topics only have a sentence or two. This article just needs a few adjustments, some more recent citations that don't include blog posts and it could be a well formulated article.
