Option 1 : Dorothy Davenport

 * Article title
 * Dorothy Davenport


 * Article Evaluation
 * I think this article has a decent start to it but lack organization and has a few gaps where her life and work are concerned. I did a further eval here

Option 2 : Greta Gerwig

 * Article title
 * Greta Gerwig


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is well written and everything is very well sources (there are zero claims that are not sources). On a first read the article stays neutral and sticks exclusively to facts. there are a few times where a statement does not seem to have any other relevant info surround it (as in it stands alone with no context) and I think could be excluded. The section on her career is very well developed. Her page is still only ranked a C in all categories and the page is given level 5 vitality. There are so many sources on this article that I don't know where I would find anything new. I would perhaps try to expand upon some of the smaller sections (directorial influences, personal life etc) or add a section about her public reception and her plans for the future as she is still and active filmmaker. It was last edited earlier this month

Option 3 : Marleen Gorris

 * Article title
 * Marleen Gorris


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is rated Stater class and has very little information on it. It hits the basics though the bulk of the information is drawn from only a few sources. There is no in depth discussion of any of her films or her contribution to the LGBT film scene in the 80s. This does not mean that there is a lack of research on her as she was an influential filmmaker in the Netherlands and her films also gained popularity in The States. I think it would also be helpful to have more images to accompany the article ideals those related to her films to give more context to style.
