Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

edit
Dodge County, Georgia
This article is listed as a "Start" class article and has a lot of room for improvement. I chose this article as an option because it is about the county that I am from. The lead section of the article could have more information and specify more information that will be covered in the article. The history section of the article could also have more information about the area previous to 1802 and more detail about the indigenous tribes who previously inhabited the area.

Option 2

edit
Stuckey's
This article is listed as "Start" class and has areas of information and references that can be improved. It provides a lot of information from the company website. It currently only has a small lead section and a history section with two subsections. It could contain a lot more information about the history but also about the current state of the Stuckey's brand. It also does not list products that were popular or are still in existence through the Stuckey's brand.

Option 3

edit
Georgiaite
This article is listed as a "Stub" article. It only has a brief overview of the subject and needs more citations and references. This could include information about locations that Georgiaite's have been found. It could also contain more about the theories and strewn field where these have been located. There are also Georgiaite's on display in the Smithsonian museum which were found in Dodge County Georgia.
