 * Article title: Women in World War II
 * https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_World_War_II
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article's content is relevant, as it discusses every country involved in the war and how women contributed in different aspects. The article has biases, as some countries have more information than others. The article favors the allies but highlights major women's contributions. The article does have citations for most of the claims made, but a few need to be included, and the article states missing citations. The article citation seems reliable as it quotes many books and primary sources. A few references are unreliable, but for the most part, there are more reliable ones. The article covers Wikipedia's equity gaps by discussing countries that the major war players otherwise overlook.

Option 2

 * Article title: Women in the World Wars
 * https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_the_World_Wars
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article content is relevant to the topic as it discusses women in. the world wars. It examines women's various roles in the world wars and how their con eruption was viewed. The article needs to be written unbiasedly as it has plenty of information on women in Europe and the United States but needs more information on other countries, as only a few sentences are written about other countries. Not all claims have citations, as some say citations are required, but for the most part, any claim is cited. The citations provided are reliable, as they provide primary and secondary sources relevant to the topic. The article does little to address Wikipedia's equity gaps as they only have a few sentences about these represented groups. The article is very old, with most of the writing happening 15 years ago. A lot of keeping is happening, and the editors often talk to each other on the talk page.

Option 3

 * Article title: Women in the United States labor force from 1945 to 1950 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_the_United_States_labor_force_from_1945_to_1950
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article discusses the event that led to women's involvement in the war force due to Congress declaring war on the Axis powers. The report does have some material that does not seem relevant as it discusses life before and after the war, so it fits into the dates in the title of 1945- 1950. Although the title may need some change, the topic is well covered, and it provides numbers and statistics. The article is written neutrally as it discusses the challenges women faced and some of their positive outcomes. Each claim has a citation, and the sources provided seem reliable as they are primary and secondary sources and news articles from the time. The article covers minority groups very briefly, and a lot more could be added. In the talk tab, there is one comment; this article can be added.
