Option 1

 * Article title
 * Nutrition
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article has a good base but could expand more on several subjects. It goes much more into plant nutrition vs. animal nutrition, although there is no apparent reason as to why. There seem to be disagreements on the overlap of the article with other nutrition articles that are focused on a particular subject. It also has a confusing history of merging with other articles/deletion.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Cake


 * Article Evaluation
 * It is a well written article that does not lack in much that is apparent. The only critique I have is it could cover the history and development of cakes, and how cake has evolved based on the ingredients available throughout time.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Chè


 * Article Evaluation
 * Lacking historic information. Covers mainly different kinds of chè but does not branch out any further than that. The source provided below gives a nice history tied with tradition that could benefit the article in the areas it is missing.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * French Indochina


 * Article Evaluation
 * In terms of historical information the article is very well written and lacks little. The only contribution I could think of is the cultural impacts of French colonization on the areas colonized, especially when it comes to cuisine. For example, vietnamese banh mi and coffee were greatly influenced by French colonization, and they are now foods extremely popular in Vietnamese culture and abroad. Their popularity also has an impact on how Vietnam is viewed by the rest of the world, be it positive or negative.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Tortilla
 * Article Evaluation
 * It is a very short article that does not cover much besides corn, wheat, and nopaltilla tortillas. Very little information on the history of tortillas is covered and much is left to be desired.
