This is a really fun range of topics! For this particular project, I would steer you more toward the "Old Guangxi clique" and "Ecopoetry" articles because "Supermassive black hole" and "Sertraline" are both already well-developed B-class articles that will be much more challenging for a first-time editor to make significant improvements to (rather than the stub- or start-class articles this assignment is designed for).

Old Guangxi clique seems like it can be a strong candidate because it's starting with zero sources, so any good sources you find are going to be very useful (and won't be duplicating existing sources). For this topic, I would recommend looking in the library databases, both one of the general ones (like Academic OneFile) and a history-focused one. This is likely to get you a broader range of stronger sources (the Medium article reads as authoritative, but there are no sources cited or linked to in it, so there is no way of knowing where the author got their information, which makes it fail some key measures of what makes a reliable source).

Ecopoetry could also be a strong candidate. This one might be worth looking in a general library database for as well, and a quick Google search just showed me a couple of articles on poetryfoundation.org that might be useful as well. This one could use some revision of what's already there (some duplicated/repeated information in the lead) as well as expansion.

The best article for you to choose for this project tends to be the one that you can find the most sources for that provide new or updated information for it *and* that you have some clear ideas for what improvements you might make. I look forward to seeing which one you pick in your topic analysis paper! Nicoleccc (talk) 17:30, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
