Option 1

 * Article title
 * Women in Business
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article's content is relevant to the topic but the topic lacks a lot of material (such as a global understanding), has serious formatting problems, and does not give insightful detail on the broad overview of Women in Business. Although each fact does have a citation, the citations are also not that reliable as many are primary sources.
 * Sources
 * Rachel Lock, Helen Lawton Smith /  2016 / The impact of female entrepreneurship on economic growth in Kenya  / Emerald Group Publishing Limited
 * Fridah Mwobobia/ 2011/ The Challenges Facing Small-Scale Women Entrepreneurs/ International Journal of Business Administration / Semantic Scholar
 * Fridah Mwobobia/ 2011/ The Challenges Facing Small-Scale Women Entrepreneurs/ International Journal of Business Administration / Semantic Scholar

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Female Entrepreneurs
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article's content is not relevant to the topic, but as the talk page suggests, it should be female entrepreneurship not entrepreneurs as this does not discuss specific entrepreneurs but rather the entire broad understanding of women's role in entrepreneurship. The article is written neutrally; however, it could be argued that there is an underlying tone in which researchers are almost creating an argumentative essay. There is a lot of information which is good, but the citations are a mix of good and bad and not every fact is actually cited.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * HIV/AIDS in Kenya
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is actually well written with a somewhat neutral tone explaining the topic. It does give a good overview of HIV/AIDs prevalence in Kenya, obstacles for Kenyans, and government responses to the epidemic. However, its citations are not very strong as they are mainly random websites and many facts are not cited. It could use more information regarding protocols to help the spread other than just the government response. It could also talk a lot more about the stigma, as that is a huge role in the epidemic.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Poverty in Kenya
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article provides good information and is quite thorough. However, I realized it really missed a huge factor of its economy- the role of gender inequality. The source is neutral and provides good citations, but does not cite each of its facts. It also uses a lot of faulty sources, again.
