[edit]Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.
Option 1
[edit]- Article title: Ballroom tango
- Article Evaluation: The article is short and concise and has two images to make it more visually appealing. However, the article itself is quite short and would benefit from additional information regarding the unique nature of Ballroom Tango and what makes it different from traditional Argentinian Tango. The article also uses only four sources, and would benefit from additional sourced to support its information.
- Sources: https://dancersnotes.com/understanding-tango-argentine-vs-ballroom/
- https://dancefeverstudios.com/argentine-tango-and-ballroom-tango/
- https://www.imperial.dance/tango
Option 2
[edit]- Article title: Finnish tango
- Article Evaluation: This article is also a bit barren and lacks and images to help contextualize the information provided in the article. However, unlike the previous article this one contains significantly more information regarding how Finnish Tango Originated, how it differs from other dance forms, and the festivals that host this particular version of Tango. I would personally add a bit more info on how the form of Tango impacted Finnish culture and add some more references for reliability.

Option 3
[edit]- Article title: Maxixe
- Article Evaluation: Very short and concise article with images and even Audio Samples that touch basis with most aspects of Maxixe Dancing. I would personally just extend the article and go more into detail on how the Tango made it Brazil, why the name change, and what impact it had there.

- https://www.wikidancesport.com/wiki/18282/maxixe
Option 4
[edit]- Article title: The Electric Boogaloos
- Article Evaluation: As I previously mentioned, the article is quite short and lacs and images or videos of the live performance(readily available) of The Electric Boogaloos. The information itself while seemingly factually correct is jumbled together into a couple of paragraphs and would benefit to be categorized and elaborated on. There are also not a lot of sources and most of the used ones are sites that are now defunct.

Option 5
[edit]- Article title: Tango Liso
- Article Evaluation: The article for this style of Tango does not exist but it is mentioned the Wiki page for Tango. I personally believe that a Wiki Page for the unique Tango style of Tango Liso and be useful to have, especially since this style of dancing is documented but is sprinkled around a variety of different websites
