Option 1

 * Article title
 * Business communication


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article's content is relevant to the topic, as it focuses on communication within business settings, and how it affects business. The article is written neutrally, and there does not seem to be any underlying bias. For the majority of this article, citations are used for all claims. The one section that lacks in citations is "Managing negative news", which could use a few more citations after statements. The citations used are reliable and come from good sources. This article does not cover an equity gap, as it does not focus on any particular group of people. Wikipedians have made a few edits, as seen in the talk page. The comment about why this page was created interested me, along with seeing that other previous students from this class have also made edits.


 * Sources
 * 1. Communication in a Changing World: Contemporary Perspectives on Business Communication Competence
 * 2. Assessing the Impact of a Business Communication Simulation on Students' Self-Perceptions
 * 3. Communication skills needed by persons in business organizations

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Social media use in politics


 * Article Evaluation
 * The content in this article is very thorough, and is relevant to the overall topic. It is written neutrally, as there is an unbiased explanation of how social media has played a part in politics in every sense. It talks vaguely of both parties and past presidential candidates, and does not include any bias either direction from what I can tell. Citations are used well throughout the article, however there were a couple instances where I think one can be added. There was not much opportunity to show a lack of equity gaps, but the article does name a few people including Trump, Biden, and Hillary Clinton, showing there isn't a focus of only white males in these examples. The talk page includes discussion about a few different areas that have been edited, including various spots in the introduction and background sections.

 * 2. Revealing the politics in “soft”, everyday uses of social media: the challenge for critical discourse studies
 * 3. Social Media as a Public Sphere? Politics on Social Media

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Geography of media and communication


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article's content lined up well with the topic, however, I feel like the content wasn't as thorough as the previous couple articles. It is written neutrally, as the article is written to include all countries and places on Earth, rather than just focusing on a few different countries. Citations are used within the article, but I think this is an area for improvement as there are various statements which should probably be accompanied by a citation. This article does not cover an equity gap, as all groups are evenly represented because there isn't much focus on certain groups of people. This talk page is completely bare, and does not look like there have been many edits to this article.
