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

Option 1

 * Article title Second Great Migration (African American):
 * Article Evaluation The article is written neutrally, simply looking to inform. The article tackles one of Wikipedia's equity gaps. Although the sources can be updated, the material is still relevant and applicable to today's world. :
 * Sources https://www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.1257/aer.20120642 (shows increased mortality rate as a result) :

Option 2

 * Article title Black Belt in the American South:
 * Article Evaluation The article's content is relevant to the topic. It's written neutrally and each claim has its citation. The citations are from well-versed authors and many of the sources are newer. The article tackles one of Wikipedia's equity gaps. :
 * Sources:

Option 3

 * Article title Republic of New Afrika:
 * Article Evaluation As you open the article, it states that it has multiple issues. The page lacks corresponding inline citations. Overall, the article just lacks enough sources for it to pass as a reliable article. The content can be rewritten to create just an overall better article. :
 * Sources:

Option 4

 * Article title Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League:
 * Article Evaluation The article is looking for more sources for verification. However, it is a really well-put together article. It includes much of the main content one would be looking for. The topic is also relevant as Marcus Garvey is a prominent figure in African American history. It tackles Wikipedia's equity gaps and is neutral. There is an abundance of information that is backed up by sources, the only information that has a lack of sources is notable members of the UNIA. I'm not sure why seeing as each member is linked, but maybe that's something I can figure out. The sources themselves are also rather new. :

Option 5

 * Article title Soviet Negro Republic:
 * Article Evaluation This also is a well-put together article and it isn't lacking of sources. However, I feel like I could find something to expand on the "Use by John Birch Society." I feel like that part was limited and could have a bit of adding to it. The John Birch Society was responsible for much more than just what it stated. The amount of conspiracy theories were ridiculous.:
