Option 1

 * Article title
 * Sculptured Stones


 * Article Evaluation
 * There's not much to this article since it's a stub. It needs a lot of work, like more examples. It only has one source to a website of a group that wants to promote historic places in Scotland. It's part of the Ireland Wikiproject and Norse history and culture project. There's no discussion on the talk page.


 * Sources
 * Edwards, Nancy. “Early-Medieval Inscribed Stones and Stone Sculpture in Wales: Context and Function.” Medieval Archaeology, vol. 45, Jan. 2001, pp. 15–39. 504907885.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Aberlemno Sculptured Stones


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article has a good outline, but it needs some more details and fleshing out of various sections. It has 27 sources, but a lot of them are very old. Also, a look into Pictish culture would help ground it.


 * Sources
 * URBANUS, J. (2022). Pictish Pictograms. Archaeology, 75(5), 18.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Celtic Maze


 * Article Evaluation
 * Another stub article--there is some debate about whether some of the images that were on the page were Celtic or Greek, because the terms "Celtic maze" and "Celtic labyrinth" are used interchangeably. However, labyrinth usually brings up a Greek one. I think this is a specific type of Celtic knot design. The Celtic knot page is linked under "See Also".

Option 4

 * Article title
 * The Edinburgh School


 * Article Evaluation
 * This is a stub article about a group of artists, whose own pages are much more fleshed out than this one. There is also no discussion started at all on this page, despite being in two Wikiprojects: Scotland and Visual Arts.


 * Sources
 * Spanier, Samson. “Around the Galleries.” Apollo: The International Magazine of Art & Antiques, vol. 160, Sept. 2004, p. 106.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Gallaecian Warrior Statues


 * Article Evaluation
 * Also a stub--it basically has a leader section, and that's about it and one photo. There is no discussion on the Talk page and only two sources.
