Option 1
[edit]- Article title: Amigurumi
- Article Evaluation: This article was listed as a start-class article that has plenty of room for improvement. From looking at the article, I found that there are a few different sections of content but they do not seem to have a lot of information. It does give a good job of the history and origins. I think it would be good to add what all you can make using this technique.

Option 2
[edit]- Article title: Ramstein High School
- Article Evaluation: This article is listed as a start-class article that still needs a lot of work to be improved. Upon first glance at it, I notice right away that there is already a listed warning that the article needs citations to reliable sources for a areas as they are at risk of being challenged or removed. I think this would be a good place to start editing.

Option 3
[edit]- Article title: Bedford, Pennsylvania
- Article Evaluation: This article is listed as a B-class article which means it is a moderately developed article. Upon first glance it does have some good information and doesn't have any flagged issues. One thing I noticed right away is that the economy section does not have much information. Off the top of my head I know of a few notable and prominent businesses and places in town that bring in a lot of money.
- I can update the population with the second source. Also can use this in a later section of the article where they discuss demographics, it can all be updated as well.
- Citation is listed as needed for this quote: "It was at Bedford that the new federal government was finally to establish itself as sovereign in its own time and place." Here is the source it is from: https://www.bedboro.com/about-us/#:~:text=12%2C950%20militiamen%20were%20called%20to,famous%20for%20its%20medicinal%20springs.Turner, Katie M. Forts 1754-1790: A Pennsylvania Typology. 2015. ProQuest Dissertations & Theses.
- For the fall foliage event description I can add a whole section about the Fall Foliage Queen scholarship contest and the history behind that as well. https://www.bedfordgazette.com/news/local/mcdevitt-earns-title-of-fall-foliage-queen/article_5cda706a-8a27-11ef-a244-1fc28e5653ae.htmlhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUgJ7WZtN2o The economy section is a single sentence. They mentioned the history of the Omni Bedford Springs Resort, but did not discuss this for the economy section. Can also add the airport information in the economy area. https://www.penndot.pa.gov/TravelInPA/airports-pa/Documents/2022%20Economic%20Impact%20Airport%20Brochures/Bedford%20County%20Airport%202022%20Economic%20Impact.pdf

Option 4
[edit]- Article title: Hannah Godwin
- Article Evaluation: This article is classified as a start-class article that could use a lot of work. There is not too much information listed about her life. There is a brief background section, reality TV career, and personal life. Right away I know there is a lot that could be added. Her current and past careers outside of being on TV can be added such as her photo editing app. There can also be more information added into her personal life such as the big event that her wedding was or her parents and family.
