Option 1

 * Article title:
 * Traditional games of South Africa:
 * Article Evaluation:The article is well written and is sourced. Everything is put in correctly, the only issue is that there is not that much deep information, then again there may not be much more that could be found but you never know. The general history is not written fully though, the information is just given but there is no description of simplification of the information.

Option 2

 * Article title:
 * Music of Africa:
 * Article Evaluation:This article is decently written and is on the track to being a high quality written Wikipedia article. The main issues is that the information is not fully organized or complete. It has information on the origins of popular African American music in todays world in America and west Africa. The article does not go over the music of the other regions of Africa, if they are the same, or at least clarify if they are the same. There are some missing links in the article too. It could be cleaned up by adding the old music of the different regions of Africa, how they evolved, and a genialized summarization of all this informaiton.
