Option 1

 * Article title
 * Slavery in Africa


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is probably the most well done out of all of my potential articles. Its written extremely well, is unbiased/neutral, and has a ton of citations of reliable and trustworthy sources. The article contains an interesting lead and a good topic sentence, with both explaining what the article is about and what each section is going to be about. The only expansion that is needed is that there seems to be a lack of explanation on a few of the historical groups/organizations that participated in the institutions of slavery in Africa.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Corruption in Uganda


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is relatively decent. It seems to be unbiased, has citations and is written grammatically correct with good sentence structures. However, the problem with the citations is that there is only one reliable source being used for all the information that is on the article. Generally, there seems to be just a lack of information, which means this article needs help being expanded.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Crime in Uganda


 * Article Evaluation
 * Can not really evaluate this article for it doesn't exist yet and the crime and law enforcement section in the Uganda Wikipedia article has very little information and needs to be expanded.


 * Sources

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Corruption in Morocco


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article has relevant content, seems to be unbiased and does have somewhat reliable citations. However, There is little information in the article itself, which is one of the reasons why I might expand upon this topic. The other problem with this article is that it doesn't really have a good lead or a good topic sentence introducing what the article is about.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Blood Diamond


 * Article Evaluation
 * For this article I would be primarily focusing on the section of the History of blood diamonds in either Zimbabwe or the Republic of the Congo. This is because there is a lack of information in both of those sections. Other than that, the article seems to be fine. Has lots of credible sources, seems to be neutral and does its best in explaining the blood diamond and how it has affected Africa and foreign country policies.
