Option 1

 * Resist Bot
 * Article Evaluation
 * -The resist bot wiki page has some good general details, but I feel it could benefit from a section that would explain how the app actually works, rather than just what it does.
 * -The lead section gives a good idea of what the company does and its values, steering the reader . to t he table of contents. Which is very short, consisting of only 3 sections (not including references)
 * -It should give a more in depth overview of the founders' mission for the app, and how the app came to be (donors, developers etc.)
 * -The app does not use any photos of the app or tutorials of how it works, which could highly benefit the reader
 * -There could be a more detailed section of how the user interacts with the app, the different options the user has within the app, and any complications the app has faced in the past.
 * -The article only briefly touched upon what types of things people are resisting, and it seems that there could be an entire section on the types of letters they receive and what the elected officials do with the letters once they receive them.
 * -The talk page is lacking, as there is nothing written on it. It was not given any sort of quality ranking or importance ranking.
 * -I think there is also room for a section . regarding money and the type of organization it is, much of this information is found directly on the resistbot site.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Vote.org
 * Article Evaluation
 * -This article is incredibly short so there is not too much to evaluate.
 * -The overview gives an idea of what the company is about, but it is very short and doesn't give a great idea of where the article could be going (which makes sense, since there isn't much following the lead)
 * -I think there is a lot of information that could be supplemented in this article, like a much longer section about how they assist voters, aka all the tools they use and how they use them in order to make voting more representative
 * -There are no photos or images showing how the program works, which I think would be beneficial
 * -I think there should be a more detailed section about founders and how the company began
 * -the article was last updated July 2019, so it is current
 * -The article has not yet received a rating or ranking

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Opinion Space
 * Article Evaluation
 * -This article is fairly short, but the intro section does a good job of informing the reader of the main goals of the company.
 * -I think there is room for explanation in terms of what the app is trying to combat, since it just states what it does
 * -There are no pictures or images used in order to show what the app does or who founded it. Since it was Berkeley Students, they don't have their own wiki pages, and I think that means there is room to include the story and development of the app along with the founders backgrounds
 * -I think that it would also be beneficial to explain how one can choose something to write about, who is allowed to write, and where the articles go
 * -the article is pretty recently updated, the last time being May 2019, but there is nothing found on the talk page of the article
 * -The project is pretty old now, so I don't believe it is still up and running
 * -The article is rated as a stub
