Article title
Existing article: Caribbean folklore
Article Evaluation
The article has a very poorly written lead section that doesn't describe well what the article will talk about. The article is also not split up well, there is only one main section that isn't separated. The article should be separated into sections like, "background of Caribbean folklore," "adaptation," "authors," "books," etc. It could also use a lot more cited sources and references. There is only one referenced article. The article has some grammatical mistakes, so that needs to get fixed as well. Those are the main parts that need to be fixed.

Option 2

Article title
Existing article: Hotel for Dogs
Article Evaluation
One of the biggest problems with this article is that it doesn't cite any sources. It has no references. I think the article needs to also have an analysis section that goes in a little deeper then the plot. It also should have a section that talks about the movie that was created based on the book as well. Maybe a section talking about the author as well. There also some grammatical errors that need to be fixed to make the article more clear and concise.

Article title
Non-existing wiki article: Role of Religion in Fairy Tales
Article Evaluation
I would like to create a wikipedia article on the role of religion when it comes to some fairy tales. I feel like there is a lot of fairy tales that includes religious aspects even if they might not explicitly say it. I would have a background section that talks about why fairy tales includes religions, I would also have example of books and authors that include this. Maybe talk about the different religions like Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, etc. That's a brief outline of what the article would look like.

Option 4

[edit]
Article title
Non-existing wiki article: Incarceration in children's literature
Article Evaluation
I would be interested in creating a wikipedia article about the role of incarceration in children's literature. There is a good amount of children's stories that have incarceration as a theme. I would like to make an article that talks about those books and the authors of the books. I would like to take a deep dive in incarceration as a theme and how that affects children that read the books.
