Option 1

 * Article title
 * Machismo (section of Puerto Rican Machismo and American culture influences of gender equality)


 * Article Evaluation
 * Many times, the article is cited by Wikipedia as vague and not reflecting the encyclopedic tone required for Wikipedia. Also, Puerto Rican machismo is described hand in hand with American ideologies. Puerto Rico is a colony of the United States, but culturally and sometimes politically the term is different from the gender inequality presented in the United States. Thus, I believe that part could be explored and researched a little further. Also, the section could be updated by reflecting the discussions taking place in the Puerto Rican society about machismo. Specifically since many conversations discuss and question how machismo is influential/non influential to the rise in gender based violence and violence made against the LGBTQ+ community in Puerto Rico.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Crime in Puerto Rico (section of Crime against Women)


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article has well-researched facts and it is somewhat up to date with the recent murders against women that occurred on the island. However, it lacks in acknowledging the changes in the violence from, for example, 2010-2022. Also, it lacks in presenting how the Puerto Rican society reacted to the recent murders. One of these reactions included the debate if adopting a gender approach to teaching in schools could decrease the violence against women.
