The article I chose was "Avengers: Infinity War." Upon quickly reading the article, if I were to be the one to first create it, I would've mentioned how this movie's story line was mixture between it's continuation to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, in other words, to their latest movie Black Panther, but also to the Infinity War prelude comics. If I were the second reader of this article, I would edit the way the plot was written, adding more details of how and why it is Thanos, the protagonist of the story is in pursuit of said infinity stones, and the casualties the Avengers faced with his success.

In order for this article to a C-class quality label, it needs to contain more information that can allow a casual reader to learn something about the album. One way to do this would be the inclusion of the writing process of the album, the promo it had prior to its release, as well as general descriptions and back story about each song in the album itself.
