Option 1
Article title: Welfare Queen Yes, the content does not stray from topic and is focused on providing the history and current uses/impacts of this term, how it came about etc. Overall, mostly neutral; it is a racialized topic so there can be information that can be deemed as "charged" or not necessarily neutral but that is complicated because of the subject I see claims substantiated by citations, there are a vast use of sources These citations seem to mostly be journal academic articles, reports, etc. There are a couple uses of news articles, particularly some op-eds that is in debate in the talk page as unreliable sources and that it needs work with the sources being used
 * Article Evaluation:
 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic?
 * Is it written neutrally?
 * Does each claim have a citation?
 * Are the citations reliable?

[Strader] I've also noticed that some of the references need to be cleaned up. For example, an article by Hancock (#7) is missing the year, volume, issue and page numbers, and reference #9 is missing the author and publication title (apparently it was in JET magazine???). It looks like reference #51 is completely missing! Since the article is rated as Start-class, it definitely could use some help. Perhaps cleaning up the reference list and inspecting them might be a good start here. This article is attempting to tackle issues that particularly affect black women and poor black women. This is to educate about a term that has historically been used to stereotype and degrade this group, it has the potential for educational uses.
 * Does the article tackle one of Wikipedia's equity gaps (coverage of historically underrepresented or misrepresented populations or subjects)?
 * Sources

Article 1: Inequality within immigrant families in the United States

 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic?
 * Lead-in is clear and concise given how much information it is covering
 * Content is relevant and covers multiple subsections and topics, covering factors that contribute to inter-family inequalities possible to be filling in gaps in the gender area and also including a discussion of concentrations of migrant/immigrant women in care-work; gendered work within family
 * Is it written neutrally?
 * Tone seems to be balanced organization is clear, but also very hefty and large sections; possible could be trimmed or more concise in some areas it was part of a wikiedu and the talk page is actually filled with a lot of the thought process of the person who started the article and their edits
 * some statements that could be seen as written with more bias that could use fixing
 * fairly well-developed it is B-class
 * Overall good use of citations but there are parts where some assertions go without being cited that should be looked into
 * covering a topic related to a underserved community/minority of immigrant families and inequalities faced

Article 2: Immigration detention in the United States

 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic?
 * The article's content remains relevant to the topic and covers multiple subcategories topics that are relevant
 * lead in is quite large and bulky, could be edited for conciseness
 * Is it written neutrally?
 * there seems to be a balanced tone and overall neutrality
 * Does each claim have a citation?
 * overall does a good job at citation but there are some sections or certain paragraphs that lack citations or an explanation for the claims so that would need to be addressed
 * Does the article tackle one of Wikipedia's equity gaps (coverage of historically underrepresented or misrepresented populations or subjects)?
 * this article is tackling immigrants so yes it covers this gap
 * b-class so it is fairly good, also is pretty lengthy but could add a section for women's experiences in the centers, concerns of abuse in addition to the "transgender" section it covers
