Option 1

 * Article title: Environmental Communication
 * Article Evaluation
 * The relatively little information that is presented in the article is neutral and the content that is presented is relevant. Most claims have a source, there are a couple that do not cite correctly when citing quotations. The sources that are used do seem reliable. Although it definitely could use more. The article does not address equity gaps. The only discussions on this article on the talk page are regarding modifying external links. Other than that, not many people have discussed making other changes.

Option 2

 * Article title: Health Communication
 * Article Evaluation
 * Most of the information on the health communication article is neutral but almost reads like a textbook, not like an encyclopedia reference. The content is relative to the topic but again, seems like a textbook with a lot of information that does not necessarily need to be there. Most of the citations are reliable but some seem irrelevant and others seem like primary literature. This article does address the literary equity gap but does not address anything else. In the talk page the one of two discussions is regarding the gap of information regarding multilingual societies.

Option 3

 * Article title: Visual Communication
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article's content is relevant to the topic. It does have a neutral tone to the article. Claims do have citations. But I do think more citations should be added at each sentence to uphold with Wikipedia's guidelines. Citations are reliable and up to date, some (like 3,7,8 send you to an article where you have to purchase access, would be useful to free access sources or that the source does not have a link at all). The article does tackle the equity gap of culture in visual communication but does not go into detail or examples on how visual communication differs between cultures, or genders. This could be insightful and important to avoid an equity gap. The talk page has discussions on putting accessible sources and on improving the sections in the article.
