Option 1

 * Article title
 * Business history


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article examines the history of firms, business methods, government regulation and the effects of business on society. It breaks down it's analysis by country: United States, France, Britain, etc. I think the article needs to take a more chronological approach in order to show how business' have developed over time in each respective region. The current organization doesn't make much sense and only focuses on the development of Business History as a field rather than content of that field. Also, there are no images in the article and I always find that images help enhance understanding by providing a visualization.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Data science


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is high quality based off whats in the article, but the scope of the content is limited. It only includes an intro statement, history, and it's relationship to statistics. I think it would be useful to include a careers section and applications of the field in society. I think it could use more images/graphs to enhance understanding of topics as well.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Crofton, Maryland


 * Article Evaluation
 * This is the Wikipedia page for my hometown. Rated mid-importance, start-class. The article is a good base, detailing the history and notable people from Crofton. It could definitely be improved by adding modern attractions in the town. Also images would help people better understand how the town is like.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Communication studies


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article's intro and history sections provide good depth. The article has no images, which are a helpful vehicle to increase understanding of a subject. It needs additions, such as careers and applications in society.
