Option 1

 * Article title:African popular music
 * Article Evaluation:the article is very short. it opens with a very short paragraph for its intro and does not cover much of its origins or styles. only covers the influence of Afro-Cuban music on it. I feel this article should cover its origins and how the different styles of Afro-pop evolved/ originated.
 * Sources:-Fales, C., & McAdams, S. (1994). The fusion and layering of noise and tone: implications for timbre in African instruments. Leonardo Music Journal, 69-77. https://www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/1513183.pdf :-Aning, B. A. (1973). Varieties of African music and musical types. The Black Perspective in Music, 16-23. https://www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/1214120.pdf

Option 2

 * Article title:African American comedy
 * Article Evaluation:this article is in the start phase and contains little information on the topic but does contain lots of Wiki links to black comedians and filmmakers as well as a few sources. since the article is starting stage it contains very little of anything. because it contains practicly nothing it would be a good one to possibly work on.

Option 3

 * Article title:minstrel show.
 * Article Evaluation:article is rated b class but may need to be rewritten to comply with wiki quality standards. however, the article is very thorough however the talk page shows that there has been lots of back and forth on what should be in the article and that it was downgraded from a good article to B class. the article is of high importance. there are a lot of people working on it with a few suggestions to improve it and to greatly condense the article to reduce repetition in the article. over all the article does include a lot of info.
