Option 1

 * Article title

Children's use of information


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article has been rated by Wikipedia as one that has multiple issues. It does not read objectively and the lead section does not summarize the key points of the article. Overall, I find this article to be tangentially related to my methodological topic. The article looks more at the ethics of considering information derived from a child. In regards to interviewing, forensic interviewing is discussed. This differs from my topic because I am looking at qualitative interviewing, in which children are considered experts in their own experience. There is a personal slant present in the article that implies that children are not reliable sources of information.
 * Sources
 * There are a variety of sources; the article includes 63 sources in total. They are of varying age; some are within the last 10 years, but many are much older. I would not be using any of these sources for my methodological topic.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Interview (research)


 * Article Evaluation
 * I previously evaluated this article for the Module 2 Assignment. I found it to be a fair overview of qualitative interviewing; it does not mention the process of interviewing children in the article. I would like to reorganize the article if I were to add to it. This article does not have warnings at the top, but the Talk page reveals that this article was created as a part of a WikiEducation course as well. For these reasons, I think it would be a good article for me to work on.
 * Sources
 * The sources are relatively older; 7 of the 10 resources are more than 10 years old. My topic is more specific than what is presented, therefore, I would not be utilizing these sources for my contribution.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Semi-structured interview
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is very brief and defines a semi-structured interview. There are limited options of articles I am finding as related to my topic. I chose to look at this one because the literature points to semi-structured interviews as an effective way to build rapport with children through the interviewing process. This article does not include any sub-categories.
 * Sources
 * Only 2 sources are provided in this article. I would need to expand the article immensely as a contributor. Currently, I think it is too broad right now for my area of interest.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Qualitative research
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is very broad and looks at the overarching topic of qualitative research. It has been the focus of a WikiProject Sociology and has several contributors. The article itself varies in quality across the sections.
 * Sources
 * There are 52 resources present in the article. They vary in age and quality. Due to the broadness of this Wikipedia page, it is unlikely I will use it for my methodology topic.
