Option 1

 * Paris Hilton
 * Article Evaluation
 * Lead section: Lead section had a concise but descriptive first sentence that clearly talks about Paris, who is the topic of the article. The lead does not talk about anything that the article does not cover however the introduction section is a bit flooded with details. Content:  This article does cover almost all content about Paris Hilton however it is missing key sections on her time in treatment facilities and her current advocacy against said treatment facilities. With these sections added, the article would not be missing anything, would be up to date, and would be talking about historically underrepresented groups.  Tone and Balance:  The article almost all facts and is written without bias. The tone is neutral and does not seem to be intending to sway the reader in any way.  Sources and References:  Almost all information that is cited, is cited from more than one source. The sources are very thorough, there are over 500 citations in this article. Almost all the sources are less than 10 years old which is shorter than the length of Hilton's popularity. There are a variety of authors and types of sources within the 500+ citations. I clicked over 25 links to check if they worked and all of them brought me to working sources.  Organization & Writing Quality:  The article is concise and clear while still having lots of information. The article does not have any grammar or spelling errors that I could see. The article is well organized by chronology and there is clear sections.  Images & Media:  The article includes photos of Paris and relevant places in her life. The images are well captioned to help the reader understand what the images add to the article. Images do not violate Wikipedia copyright and they are laid out with the sections that are broken down chronologically.  Talk Page Discussion:  In the talk page section there are discussions of content that needs to be updated, content that is incorrect, and content that needs to be added. The article is rated as B-class, Low-importance. The article is part of 10 different WikiProjects.  Overall Impressions:  The article overall is a good biography of Paris but is missing out of key parts of her teenage life and her current political advocacy. The article gives many accurate facts on Paris but is missing things about her life that are influential. The article can be improved by talking about the TTI and Hilton's current political work. It is almost fully developed but is missing a few important sections.
