Option 1

 * Article title: Educational equity
 * Article Evaluation: The article is quite relevant to the topic as it is factual information about it. The neutrality of this article is actually disputed and the Talk page is filled with different viewpoints. The claims are not all cited and the sources are not all grounded in current academic research. The article begins by discussing the difference between equity and equality, although it doesn’t do it very well. It then goes on to talk about educational tracking. Later, socio-economic, racial, and gender equity are explained. Overall, this article is somewhat bias, however, it is written thoroughly.

Option 2

 * Article title: Liberal feminism
 * Article Evaluation: The article addresses lots of important topics pertaining to liberal feminism. For example, it goes into depth about the history and symbolism of it. The article is about liberal feminism so I wouldn’t say it’s written neutrally. Each claim does have a reliable citation. The Talk page recognizes the fact that this article is primarily about liberal feminism in the United States, as opposed to general liberal feminism.

Option 3

 * Article title: Socratic method
 * Article Evaluation: This article talks about the Socratic method, its development, applications, and disadvantages. It is written neutrally, with each claim having a citation that is reliable. The Talk page discusses some changed links, alternative names, the lead being too long, and a question of if the Socratic method can be practiced by oneself.

Option 4

 * Article title: Hate speech
 * Article Evaluation: The article talks about theories of hate speech, hate speech laws, state-sanctioned hate speech, internet, and commentary, all of which are relevant to the topic of hate speech. It is written neutrally and all claims have a reliable citation. This article is relatively brief but discussed greatly on the Talk page, talking about the importance of the origin of hate speech laws, the scope of the definition in the leading paragraph, and some contradictions.

Option 5

 * Article title: Individualized Education Program
 * Article Evaluation: The article is relevant and discusses required components, determining the appropriate placement, services that could be provided to a child with a disability, and procedural safeguards. Each claim has a citation that is reliable. On the Talk page, there is a question about whether an IEP diploma is the same as a certificate of attendance, a few wording fixes, and a name dispute.
