 * Some ideas should be more thorough, and in other areas, ideas are repeated too much and should be condensed.

Option 2

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Fashion Nova
 * Article Evaluation
 * Does not give a complete overview of the brand; needs to be updated to discuss controversies surrounding Fashion Nova and their current operational practices. Article is dated.
 * Sources
 * Glenn Taylor. (2022). Fashion Nova Banished Bad Reviews, Class-Action Lawsuit Claims. Sourcing Journal (Online).
 * Kaley Roshitsh. (2020). The Irony of Fashion Nova Amid Push for Garment Worker Rights. WWD, 11–11.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Cultivation Theory
 * Article Evaluation
 * Very detailed article, but seems like it would be hard to read for the average person - a lot of the sections can be trimmed down for better readability. Some sentences are unnecessarily complex and could be turned into simpler explanations of concepts. While the article is generally well-written, it doesn't sound encyclopaedic.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Performative Activism
 * Article Evaluation
 * Article is very underdeveloped and is not written in a neutral tone. Needs a section discussing criticisms and support for the topic. The article is also very similar to another wiki topic - "Slacktivism" - and if Performative Activism is to remain its own topic it needs to be much further developed with examples and how the term originated, as well as how it may be different to slacktivism. It would also be worth noting that the term performative activism seems to be inherently negative rather than being used as a neutral term.
