Articles for Consideration
Note: These choices are ranked by preference, with Computer Labs first. However, in the event that that choice is unavailable, I would most likely do one more sweep of potential articles before choosing between the other two.

With Computer Labs as common as they are, this article should be in much better shape than it is. Specifically, sections could be added for the various roles of computer labs, e.g. in educational institutions, etc. Other segments could include the history of computer labs and the impact of those early computer labs on the availability of computers, and possibly the trend toward personal and portable computers over computer labs. With the consideration of the historical aspect, most books on the history of computers themselves will likely be usable sources.

Anaconda is a Python distribution which allows the user to write code in an environment complete with the most powerful tools for python in one place. Notably, although Anaconda does have several additional features available for purchase, all features are free for academic use. For sources, Anaconda is mentioned in several books on programming, and has been extensively documented.

Cost Efficiency, here in the context of programming, is an analysis of the speed and efficiency with which code will execute, especially in the context of code which operates over large amounts of data on a parallel computing device. Given the current issue of Big Data, knowledge and understanding of Cost Efficiency is vital in any programming or computing field, and as such, there is no shortage of sources on the topic.

Article Selected
Of the above three articles, Computer Lab seems to be the one which I am best able to meaningfully contribute to. There are enough useful sources that I should not have issues with not being able to find enough verifiable information to include, an I feel I know enough about the topic to understand the sources and contribute something that makes sense.
