Option 1

 * Article title
 * Eduardo Galeano


 * Article Evaluation
 * C-Class / Mid to High-importance
 * Eduardo Galeano is, arguably, the most important writer Uruguay has had, and his work has influenced Latin American literature, history, and politics. Though the article has most of the sections for a good biographic article, the sections are quite underdeveloped. The "Life" section, especially, lacks structure and sub-categories such as "Early life" and so on. The article has a list of his work but lacks all information about the impact it had. Other articles about famous writers have a section called "Reception and legacy" that I believe is necessary to explain why Galeano was and continues to be important and, thus, why the article itself is notable. I think the article also needs to have separate sections for the author's career and his personal life, especially given the multifaceted career of Galeano. Overall, the article lacks considerable relevant content about the subject in question. In regard to the sources, they seem varied but are not thorough, particularly because it uses plenty of news outlets such as The New York Times, rather than using scholarly work from, for instance, all the Latin American universities that have deeply studied Galeano and his work.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Open Veins of Latin America


 * Article Evaluation
 * Start-Class
 * Open Veins of Latin America has been a controversial book from the moment of its publication in 1971 and continues to influence and be discussed in today's Latin American politics. The book is also the most prominent work of author Eduardo Galeano. The current content of the article is relevant to the topic but falls short of presenting a complete picture of the book. It also has only a few sections, which fail to properly discuss the topic. The most evident void is regarding the literary aspects of the book such as genre, style, motifs, etc. It doesn't even have a plot summary. It also lacks information about the author and the context. Overall, the article is underdeveloped. The little information available is properly cited using scarce yet reliable sources. In the Talk page, editors have suggested necessary changes but have not proceeded with them; one of them is particularly important since it suggests to include the fact that Eduardo Galeano, in his final years, disavowed the book.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Zapatista Army of National Liberation


 * Article Evaluation
 * Start-Class/ Low to Mid-Importance (It has the most daily views, though).
 * The content of the article is mostly relevant to the topic but it is not thorough. There is a clear imbalance between the sections and some of them do not appear to be relevant. The article is missing a large number of citations even though it has over 60 references listed. Only two people have commented on the Talk page and none of the changes they suggested/discussed have been implemented. The article manages to keep a neutral tone, which is important considering the controversial nature of the topic; yet, there is clear space for improvement.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * The House of Bernarda Alba


 * Article Evaluation
 * Stub-Class / High-Importance
 * The content of the article is relevant but is not thorough. It is missing relevant background information, such as material on the author and on the context of the Spanish Civil War that inspired the play and that represents the lenses through which the play should be analyzed. It could also have more sections dealing with the characters, motifs, etc. The article is also missing some citations, although all sources seem reliable. The article, since it lacks content, does not use sources that demonstrate the literature available on the topic. The Talk page has considerable interactions, particularly around problems with translation (There's a Wikipedian literally asking Spanish speakers for help, considering that most information about the topic is in Spanish). Nevertheless, most of the information discussed in the Take page is not reflected in the article - information that could help fill in the current content gaps.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Rómulo Gallegos


 * Article Evaluation
 * Start-Class / High-Importance
 * The article is missing content, as it can be seen just from reading the lead. There are sections with no citations whatsoever and it has only 6 references that are not thorough but reliable. This article could be improved in many aspects, ranging from the inclusion of media content that enhances the understanding of the topic to the addition of citations. The article is part of two WikiProjects: Venezuela and Biography. The Talk page has only one comment. The article has only had a few changes throughout its history and the last one was back in 2016.
