 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic? This article does a good job at explaining Carney's life, his experince in the military, and political campaigns. There is a section titled "political positions" which should go into more depth about the specifics of his opinions. It only briefly discusses his stance on important issues. A deeper explanation would be beneficial since it would provide more insight to what Chris Carney stands for and how he has made an in politics regarding said issues.

Option 2

 * Article title "Jihad Cool"
 * Article Evaluation
 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic?
 * The article briefly explains the concept of "Jihad Cool" and its origins. The article says that NPR was the first to report on this concept back in 2010. The article ends shortly after which leaves me, as the reader, with many follow up questions. It has been fourteen years since the inital recognition of the term, how has it developed, changed, and exist today? Has the term been used anywhere else since NPR's use of it back in 2010? In what ways does addressing the issue of "Jihad Cool" combat Islamic extremism like the article states?
 * Is it written neutrally? The article is written in a neutral manner that gives a brief definition of what the term means. At the end of the page it says that addressing the issue of "Jihad Cool" has been one of the best ways of tackling Islamic Extremism.

 * Article Evaluation
 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic? The article is relevant to the topic and discusses how the author of a memoir dedicated to Carolyn Bryant, the wife of one of the men who murdered Emmett Till, leaked quotes from her which revealed that Emmett never whistled at her in the first place.
 * Is it written neutrally? It rightly highlights the racism that Carolyn Bryant has exhibited all her life.
 * Does each claim have a citation? Each claim does not have a citation
 * Are the citations reliable? The sources are not all unbiased.
 * Does the article tackle one of Wikipedia's equity gaps (coverage of historically underrepresented or misrepresented populations or subjects)? It sheds light on the Emmett Till story and the importance of to hold someone accountable for the murder which was entirely motivated by racism. It should go into further detail about how white supremacist ideals in the 1950s - 60s caused a lack of serious effort to convict the perpetrators
