Evaluation:


 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic?

 * Does each claim have a citation?
 * Are the citations reliable?
 * Check out the article's Talk page to see what other Wikipedians are already contributing. Consider posting some of your ideas to the article's Talk page, too.

Option 1

 * Article title
 * Health care in the United States
 * Article Evaluation
 * This topic is an inherently controversial topic because of its many political dimensions and applicability to current political talk in the United States. On the talk page, it states that the content in the article is controversial and up to dispute. However, I feel that the article is well-written, provides a lot of helpful statistics, with citations to each claim. It appears that some of the claims are reliable- i.e. claims from the American Journal of Public Health, but others are more news media/blog based, like U.S. News & World Report and CNN.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Free clinic
 * Article Evaluation
 * I believe that the Lead has a solid introductory sentence. however, it doesn't include a brief description of the article's major sections, although I don't know how necessary that would be. It includes information not present in the article, but it does complement the article's information. In terms of being concise/overly detailed, I believe the Lead does a good job. The article's content seems very out of date, providing statistics of information from 1992-1997. However, the article's content is relevant and there is no missing information or extraneous information. In terms of tone/balance evaluation, this is difficult to rate because the intonation may indicate a politically left leaning view that is in support of social services, as it emphasizes the role of free clinics in states without adequate social service. This article is also assumed to only be based in the United States. In terms of sources,The second part of the lead also seems to assume a lot of information because it is not backed by a source, and it continually uses words such as "most clinics...", although these descriptions are broad/vague. Overall, there seems to be a lack of reliable cited sources. However, in terms of grammar/organization, the article is overall well-written and well-organized. For media/images, there are only 2 images that show the outside of free clinics. Although they're not great/helpful photos, I personally cannot think of any photos that would better reflect the topic. There are several conversations about specific changes to the article. This is part of Wikiproject Medicine. It is rated C-class and of Low importance. Overall, article is considered to be C-class and therefore not of high quality. It is strong in presenting types of free clinics, but it does not provide a lot of comprehensive information, and it seems like some of the information is not backed by data. I believe it is underdeveloped.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Suitcase Clinic
 * Article Evaluation
 * Given that this is my practice experience organization, I know that there is a lot of outdated and missing information describing the current state of The Suitcase Clinic. I believe that this article is worth changing/updating because it could be a possible source of information for clients who wish to utilize The Suitcase Clinic. Additionally, The Suitcase Clinic is listed under "free clinics", another sector article that I am considering using.
