Option 1

 * Article title: Boys & Girls Clubs of America
 * Article Evaluation
 * The content of the article is written in a neutral tone and contains information relevant to the topic. It is decently cited and even has the list of references and external links at the bottom. The citations seem to come from reliable publications of information from the organization itself. A lot of the recent posts that I have seen on that talk page relate to fine tuning the article but there is not much in way of new content. There was thought of adding what happens within the Boys & Girls Clubs but as that varies depending on region/community, there is no way to know for sure.

Option 2

 * Article title After-school activity
 * Article Evaluation
 * The content within this article all seems to relate back to the topic. While it varies on the type of information presented, the sections tie back to the overall theme of after-school activity. The article also presents both sides when talking about the effects of the topic. It presents benefits and criticisms and states each without implying bias. While each claim seems to have a citation, some of the external links that were provided do not seem to work, or take me to a specific source. The citations that I have clicked on work and seems reliable, so the only questionable piece that I would most likely want to remove is the "External Links" section. It also seems that the Talk section mentions changes to the external links but I am unsure of whether the changes mentioned are what is shown.

Option 3

 * Article title Domestic violence
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article holds a lot of information around the topic but it all circles back to the main point. It is very detailed but written in a neutral tone so it does not imply bias. It is decently cited and the sections are divided into sub-topics of domestic violence. The citations used link back to what seems to be a reliable. There is an abundance of citations but there is one that seems to have an error attached to it. The page seems to have been nominated as a featured article but it failed its nomination.

Option 4

 * Article title Domestic violence in the United States
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is similar to the last one I evaluated but focuses specifically within the U.S. It is neutrally written and is still extensive on its own. It is decently cited and includes a variety of related topics/articles that the reader can reference. While it is extensively cited, there are a few outdated links that do not open to a working page.

Option 5

 * Article title Take Back the Night (organization)
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article holds a neutral tone with the content tying back to the topic in an unbiased manner. While it educates about what TBTN is, it also touches upon some of the debates it sparks. It presents the different view points but does not indicate bias. It is also decently cited for the information that is presented and includes references outside of the citations. There are also external links that one can reference, even though it was not specifically used in the article.
