Option 1

 * Article title
 * Social dance


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is underdeveloped; There are some sections to evaluate but not enough to be considered a developed article. The leading section provides very brief insight into the topic, but needs work to be a stronger leading section. The content presented in the article is informative, with a neutral tone and good balance, but the amount of content is lacking. The sources presented are reliable, but more sources are needed to fully develop the article.
 * This article would be a good article to enhance for the term project. There is some foundation presented, but there is also a lot of area to improve upon.


 * Sources
 * Dance Marathons: Performing American Culture of the 1920s and 1930s
 * Two-Stepping to Glory: Social Dance and the Rhetoric of Social Mobility

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Avant-garde


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is slightly underdeveloped. The leading section provides insight into what avant-garde is, and provides a brief outline of the timeline and significance of avant-garde in the artistic world. The content presented is well written and neutral, even with a section on theories. The content is also well organized into clear sections. The sources presented are from a wide range of reliable sources, which adds to the credibility of the article.
 * This article would be a good article to make small edits to throughout. There is a strong foundation, but enough room for content to be added within.


 * Sources
 * Greenwich Village 1963

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Dance marathon


 * Article Evaluation
 * (From previous evaluation) The lead section provides a short, concise explanation of what dance marathons are, but doesn't do much to outline the rest of the article. The content presented is relevant to the topic and was presented in an informative way. The content was sourced from reliable references. There were only two pictures included with the article, which was a limiting factor of the article.
 * This article would be an interesting article to edit for a project. The content provided is thorough, but there could be edits on the media presented, as well as more notable figures.
