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

Option 1

 * Live Communications Server 2003
 * The article as it is has only one line of information, despite being rated as mid-importance for the Microsoft/Windows WikiProject. It needs more citations, descriptions of the uses and popularity of the software, and potentially on its impact on further Microsoft communication technologies.
 * Sources

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Matilda Gilruth Carpenter


 * Article Evaluation
 * From the Women in Red project, Matilda Gilruth Carpenter was a writer and activist in the Women's Temperance movement between 1873-1874. With my initial research, I've found a few sources covering her writing and role within the temperance movement, as well as her family tree. An in-depth article would include her family relations, her writing in the context of the temperance movement, and other writing.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Guerilla Open Access Manifesto


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article as it is does not exist. I think it is notable in that it was a big part of the open access movement, and one of Aaron Swartz's main contributions to said movement. Additionally, there are many sources on the subject, with significant coverage, meeting Wikipedia's notability requirements

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Isabella Batchelder James


 * Article Evaluation
 * This is from the Women In Red project, and James was a writer and president of the Pennsylvania Freedmen's Commission, giving her notable historical significance. An article on her would require some basic biographical information, as well as her role within the Pennsylvania Freedman's Commission, and her impact.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Queer Cultural Center


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article has very little information and citations, apart from the founding year. It has only four sources, and could use quite a bit more information, along with notable achievements, founders, and community outreach efforts. Additionally, given the article's coverage on an historically underrepresented group, it represents significant notability to Wikipedia.
