Happy Halloween![edit]

P.newhart has given you some caramel and a candy apple! Caramel and candy-coated apples are fun Halloween treats, and promote WikiLove on Halloween. Hopefully these have made your Halloween (and the preceding days) much sweeter. Happy Halloween!
'"On Psych, A USA Network TV series Episode 8, The Tao of Gus, Season 6, Shawn refers to pumpkins as "Halloween Apples" because he thinks all round fruits are a type of apple. Happy Halloween! Enjoy your apples. P.newhart (talk) 13:37, 26 October 2015 (UTC) If Trick-or-treaters come your way, add {{subst:Halloween apples}} to their talkpage with a spoooooky message! |

My Possible Article Choices[edit]
1. The first article I am considering is an article about the O Street Market in Washington D.C. The O Street Market is a historic site in the city, but I noticed that it is still a stub article on Wikipedia. Through initial research I believe that I have enough information to make a significant addition to the page, both about the history of the O Street Market and its present state. The sources of information I have found about the O Street Market are all reliable and factual, which I believe will help me maintain a neutral point of view and accurate information if I choose to add to this page
2. The second article I am considering is an article about the George Washington University Colonials. This is the page for their athletic programs, which on Wikipedia is still listed as a stub. I had initial interest in this because I have family members that work at GW, and because the school itself is located in D.C., not far from where I live. Through preliminary research, I believe I could make a significant contribution to the page, for both specific sports and the sports program in general. The research I did led me to multiple reliable sources, and I believe I can keep a neutral point of view and express accurate information without problem.
3. The third article I am considering is an article about Lake Anna State Park, in Spotsylvania County, Virginia. I chose this article because I know that Lake Anna is a beautiful state park and a very popular fishing and camping area for locals and other Virginians, but I noticed there is very little information about it on Wikipedia. It is still listed as a stub article. After doing some research, I feel that I will be able to add substantive information to the page, while keeping that information both neutral and accurate.
After peer reviewing all of my article choices with my partners, I am leaning towards writing about the O Street Market. My group and I agreed that it fulfills the requirements of an article worth choosing, and I also know that there is enough information I can find to add a significant amount of content. Although I will continue to browse the stub pages to see if anything else catches my eye, at this point in time I am most likely going to write about the O Street Market.
Final Article Choice[edit]
The article I am choosing to write about is the O Street Market. I believe that this topic will prove to be interesting to learn more about and I know that through research I can add a lot more information than currently exists on the Wikipedia stub page. One of the main reasons I chose this article initially was because D.C. is fairly local to me, so I have driven past the O Street Market many times, but never really known the history behind it. I think that not only will I be able to improve my knowledge of this topic, but through the Wikipedia page I can hopefully improve the knowledge of many other people as well.
