Option 1

 * Israeli–Palestinian conflict
 * Article Evaluation
 * the article contents are relevant as this article covers the history of the conflict from 1948-1973. This means that it covers almost 3 decades of conflict, this also means that there's decades of potential environmental damage that is not acknowledged. this article is written in a neutral tone as it does not have any opinions or subtle unnecessary critiques in bias. each claim has a link connected to a certain word in the sentence as a reference and most claims have links to the reference page which all lead to good resources like universities or large news organizations. it doesn't have equity gaps from what i can see either. the majority of the talk section of the Wikipedia page is correcting each other or looking for clarification, it almost seems completely uncoordinated

Option 2

 * Cambodian Genocide
 * Article Evaluation
 * the article is relevant to the topic as it shows the years where the Khmer Rouge were in power, the deaths and the history before the genocide as well as impacts after the genocide through denials, war crimes and trials. the article has a very neutral tone with no uses of personal pronouns or uncertainty. most links are reliable but some lead to site where I cant tell if they are reliable or not because of the odd quality. the article also tackles equity gaps while looking through the references. in terms of the talk section of the article its just correcting mistakes that were written into the article prior, some mistakes being fairly large.

Option 3

 * Cold War
 * Article Evaluation
 * the articles is relevant to the actual war and has all its usual subtitles like the history the background and each sides perspective. its generally written neutral and formal but there are some points where facts are unclear or certain like when the cold war actually began. a lot of the citations lead to books and novels which may or may not be reliable as I cant see the sources for each book. as for equity gaps most sources look to be addressing relevant writers from the multiple sides of the conflict. the talk section once again was fixing mistakes from what could see it was more graphical mistakes like african communist countries joining NATO
