https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seaford,_New_York, I chose this article because it is my hometown thus I am very well versed in it, as well, there are a lot of omissions about school sports, and businesses within the town which are well documented and easy to source.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/José_Hernández_(writer) I chose this article as it has a lot of room for improvement, as a fluent Spanish speaker I can also use my translation skills to bring information into English as well as have access to a variety of non english sources.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seaford_High_School_(New_York) I chose Seaford High School, as I attended this high school. This page can use a large amount of improvements, and there are many sources about this school that this article is not including that i would be happy to add, as well there are no photos and no inclusion of faculty/ extracurriculars.

Both Seaford NY and José Hernández are good options, either is fine to move forward with. Erickaakcire (talk) 21:58, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
