Option 3

 * Chippewa language
 * Article Evaluation
 * This page, focuses just on the Chippewa language spoken in the US, as the reservations listed correspond with US reserves.

Option 4

 * Ojibwe language
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article appears to be more widely edited and contributed to, when compared to the other pages. It discusses the close relationship between Potawatomi and Ojibwe. The article also mentions that this language is spoken in regions of Canada.
 * There is no in-depth information into the Ojibwe language at Kettle and Stony Point. The information on the page appear to be generalized. While i understand the need for generalized information, I would update the page to include more in-depth knowledge in relations to Kettle and Stony point. I would also update the information in the Revitalization section. To included more up to date information and include more recent revitalization projects that have arose since the page was last updated.
 * Overall, the article is well written, and contains a variety of relevant information. The article also contains more sections with relevant information than the previous pages I have looked at.

Option 5

 * Potawatomi language
 * Article Evaluation
 * - This page does not discuss the close relationship between Potawatomi and Ojibwe. The revitalization projects listed on the website only cover the US and do not mention any Canada projects. The page also lacks as much information available as the Ojibwe language page did. There is no information regarding the demographics of the Potawatomi language. Nor does the page talk about the vitality of the language and the causes that have resulted in the status it currently holds.
 * I would update this page, to contain, more information of the Potawatomi language in Canada. I would update the page to include information regarding the language in Kettle and Stony point. I would update the page to included the demographic information surrounding the language in Canada. I would also update the page to hold information regarding the background on the language.
 * Overall, the article is a good start. It contains information that is important to the language. The page could stand to be updated to incorporate more information and provided a more in-depth look into the language as it pertains to not only the US but the Canadian side as well.
