Option 1

 * Article title
 * Sports Communication Careers


 * Article Evaluation
 * - Good introduction, lays the framework for the rest of the article
 * - It is neutrally written, doesn't have any specific arguments or opinions built into the content
 * - Most of the claims have citations, overall good consistent citing with apparently relevant references
 * - It does not cover much of an equity gap, nor is it a part of any equity-related projects. It is a part of the WikiProject Sports, with the goal of improving sports coverage on Wikipedia. It could work to fill the gender/race equity gaps by specifically addressing female/minority group roles, or lack thereof, in sports communication careers.
 * - Overall the article's structure is a little scattered, and not super easy to follow. It should have a better structure based on topics and subcategories.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Evolutionary psychology of parenting


 * Article Evaluation
 * - Overly detailed introduction, does not lay out a very good framework or summary of the rest of the article.
 * - It is written like a personal essay, or it sounds like it is staking certain claims without a lot of citation or evidence to support its arguments. It does not sound overly opinionated, but makes bold scientific claims without sufficient research evidence.
 * - Not all claims are cited appropriately, and several of the sources are not reliable.
 * - It does not address a Wikipedia content gap. The title insinuates a discussion of older parenting psychology in comparison with newer, but the article focuses pretty much only on the scientific or traditional norms, and less about modern cultural adaptations.

 * - The Theme of the Family in Contemporary Society and Positive Family Psychology

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Military communications


 * Article Evaluation
 * - Good introduction, lays out a framework and summary for the rest of the article. Does not go too deep in depth on the subjects
 * - Neutral writing. Has no opinion portion nor argumentative nature.
 * - Needs additional citations. Most of the claims are missing references, one two sources are cited at the bottom of the page at all.
 * - It does not cover a content gap, but could incorporate coverage to address potential gaps related to military communications.
 * - Overall it is a brief article that doesn't cover a lot of information, but has a good opportunity to grow and go further into depth of communication techniques, strategies, effectiveness, and cultural communication concepts as well.
