Option 1

 * Article title: Women in Film :
 * Article Evaluation:
 * There's a lot of relevant content covered in the women in film article which is great because "women in film" is such a broad topic to cover.
 * The article is written neutrally as it mainly involves a lot of history and biographies.
 * As I skimmed the article, it looked like everything was cited, however, there was some information about organizations that lacked any citations, including the Women Film Critics Circle organization.
 * It seems that the citations are reliable but involved some lists of "Top 100 Films" which, really, are opinions. However, because they are uploaded by reliable sources, they could be considered reliable.
 * The article includes a lot of information mostly about Hollywood, which I found quite interesting. It's easy to think that the film industry can be all about Hollywood, but there are women in film from all over the globe-- the film industry doesn't just include American films.
 * Other Wikipedians are adding a lot of information about different organizations (which seem underdeveloped compared to the history of women in film) as well as adding newer directors to notable female directors.

Option 2

 * Article title: Women's Cinema :
 * Article Evaluation:
 * The content in the women's cinema article is very much relevant to the topic and even includes multiple countries of women's cinema. It is written neutrally and most of the information on the different countries have citations. However, there are some countries that don't have citations. My guess would be because people haven't found much information on cinema in that country and it cinema probably isn't that popular in those countries. The citations looked reliable and the article covers a lot of historically underrepresented subjects. On the talk page, there are some questions relating to the structure of the article (whether it's a list or essay of the information about the different countries.)

Option 3

 * Article title: Film Festival :
 * Article Evaluation:
 * The article may include relevant content about the topic, however, it's a little confusing as some sections have lists and some have some information under a list, etc. It also needs a lot more citations, but the citations that are there now are relevant. Wikipedians on the talk page suggested to add descriptions to each of the festivals.

Is the article's content relevant to the topic?

Is it written neutrally?

Does each claim have a citation?

Are the citations reliable?

Does the article tackle one of Wikipedia's equity gaps (coverage of historically underrepresented or misrepresented populations or subjects)?

Option 4

 * Article title: International Women's Film Festival :
 * Article Evaluation:
 * This article has really no information on it except for a very small list of international women's festivals. Though the list does have links to each of the festivals mentioned, there aren't even any brief descriptions of the festivals or even any background on film festivals/women's film festivals.
