Option 1

 * Article title: Uncertainty Reduction Theory
 * Article Evaluation: Okay, I want to begin by saying I feel completely lost and have never felt this inept in an academic situation before. Here goes anyway!
 * First of all, I think the section for computer mediated applications is much too brief and does not address all it needs to, especially since web contact is how the majority of us communicate and do business, education, etc. While most research focuses on reducing uncertainty in online environment, I did find an article that studied the use of social media/online introductions to reduce uncertainty before face to face meeting. I would like to update that section. Also, some of our Wikipedia training mentioned that bullet lists should be used sparingly and carefully. This article has dozens of lengthy bullet lists that run together and make the article difficult to navigate. I'd like to see if I could either consolidate some of that or either present it in a more appropriate configuration. I also think that adding a few appropriate images would make the article more appealing. It currently has none.

Option 2

 * Article title: Conflict resolution
 * Article Evaluation:
 * First of all, there is a section flagged for needing additional reliable citations. The Conflict resolution curve section is unclear and needs work. For example, the author says absence of the curve "might lead to apocalypse with mutual destruction." What does that even mean? Another section that needs work is Conflict resolution in the classroom. The author basically presents one view of the steps to resolution, relying heavily on a single source: Seifert & Sutton. They cannot be the only authorities on the subject. Also, that is of particular interest to me since I am a teacher, and conflict management is a significant part of my practice.

Option 3

 * Article title: Communal Exchange Theory
 * Article Evaluation: This article does not exist on Wikipedia that I can find. I would be starting from scratch. One thing that concerns me is that the sources I'm finding differentiate between communal and exchange relationships. It is not put together as one theory. Some of the research I found on this topic follows:
 * Intrinsic, extrinsic, and social motivation to donate to charities
 * Changes that occur in a relationship due to the expression of gratitude to one another
 * The original 1979 paper by Clark and Mills defining the concept
 * Motivation to make sacrifices in romantic relationships
