Option 1

 * Article title
 * Jenni Rivera


 * Article Evaluation
 * This is a well-written article. However, the cultural impact section needs additional sources. Also, the article needs better organization. For example, the artist's religion is located in the charity section. I added some sources to assist the cultural impact section.

 * https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/jenni-rivera-fought-women-immigrants-and-lgbt-youth/

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Texas Folklore Society


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is drastically under-written. It lacks sources, topic sentences, and overall organization. It doesn't talk about the impact or charitable work or much of anything. In fact, the article focuses on the shifts of power in the Texas Folklore Society. However, from what is written, the article is un-biased and interesting.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Chiquis Rivera


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is also underwritten. The article barely talks about the artists' life or contributions to music. The main focus of the article is her mother, Jenni Rivera. Also, the article appears biased specifically when talking about her marriage. By stating the word, 'claiming', it insinuates the reason for separation to be untrue. Also, the pictures need to be updated. The article lacks citations as well.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * The Jones Act


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is well-written. It is unbiased, states many facts, and utilizes pictures well. However, the main critique to this article is the lack of sources. In fact, wikipedia itself states that some stances may be challenged because of the lack of sources. However, the organization for the article is perfect and allows for clear and concise reading for the audience.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Operation Bootstrap


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is very well written. The article displays a rich and complex history to the projects geared at Puerto Rico's economy. However, it lacks organization and other sections to the article. To elucidate, it can add a section titled impact or perhaps cultural impact and legacy. It shows the effects through graphs, which are confusing to those who are not economic majors. The graphs need to be verbally explained and shown through citations. However, overall the article is unbiased and interesting through great topic sentences. Also, it could've touched on American individualism and 'white mans burden' to an extent.
