Option 1

 * Article title:Sullivan Expedition:
 * Article Evaluation:Extremely detailed and full of relevant materials explaining the battle itself, with some brief explanation of the reasons behind the war and the Iroquois-American relations. Some extra details can be added contextualizing intertribal conflicts amongst the Iroquois during this time as well as their motivations during the Revolution and campaign. Though, some of this is discussed in the subsection of the Iroquois' individual Wikipedia article- which is far too detailed to be further edited. The battles are chronologically ordered and have plenty of relevant materials though perhaps could use some extra information and editing. :

Option 2

 * Article title:Bikini Atol l:
 * Article Evaluation:Though it contains a lot of information, further details could possibly be added, such as more details on the culture section of the articles. There are some sources that delve deeper into the the significance of coconuts and women in the society for instance. The section about the experiments is very thoroughly done, though some detail can be added about the response to the experiment. In the individual Wikipedia article on nuclear testing (named "Nuclear Testing at Bikini Island), also lacks this, so perhaps that information would be better suit to that article.:

Option 3

 * Article title:Hairstyle:
 * Article Evaluation:Quite Eurocentric in focus, only briefly going over hairstyles in other parts of the world, and leaving out the cultural significance of haircuts in many different cultures. For instance, it includes one section on Japanese hairstyles, only mentioning the change to cutting hair without mentioning earlier the Confucius significance of keeping hair long. There could also be more details into the religious/spiritual aspects of keeping hair long as well. Overall all the sections require a bit of editing, lacking in cohesion and detail.:
