Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1 Coronavirus

 * The article's content is relevant to the topic as it only focuses on the breakdown of the virus. Furthermore, it is written neutrally as the political discourse regarding the virus is not highlighted. Each claim has a citation defining terminology and where each claim originated from. The citations are questionable as there is no one source as to who claimed what fact about the virus, as it is a worldwide effort. The article does not tackled one of Wikipedia's equity gaps.

Option 2 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

 * The article's content is relevant to the topic as it covers the structure and history of the organization. The article seems to be written neutrally, though there may be some contention when viewing the history of controversies. Most of the claims have a citation, though those covering the operations of the CDC can use additional citations as they tend to change with time. The citations that are provided are reliable. The article briefly tackles one of Wikipedia's equity gaps but not fully.

Option 3 Black Lives Matter

 * The article's content is relevant to the topic as it provides an extensive breakdown of the movement. The article is written as neutrally as it can, as it covers, or tries to cover, all sides of the movement as its perception. Most claims have a citation, but since the origin and rise of the group is mixed some citations are missing there. The citations that are provided are reliable, though for the history section more definitive sources could be used. The article does tackle one of Wikipedia's equity gaps.

Option 4 2020 United States presidential election

 * The article's content is relevant to the topic as it provides a rundown of the current presidential election for those unaware. The article is written as neutrally as it can be, covering major points of the race. All claims have a citation to some news article, and terminology often links to other Wikipedia pages. The citations provided are questionable but they provide proof as to when an event occurred. The article does tackle one of Wikipedia's equity gaps.

Option 5 Institutional racism

 * The article's content is relevant to the topic covered as it briefly defines what constitutes institutional racism and its prevalence around the world. The article is written neutrally as it does not bring in personal assertions, only citing prominent figures in each region. All claims have a citation to a news or journal article. The citations provided seem accurate, though since I lack knowledge regarding institutional racism overseas I cannot account for their validity. The article does tackle one of Wikipedia's equity gaps.
