Option 1

 * Article title
 * Homelessness in the San Francisco Bay Area


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article's lead provides good context on what homelessness is and how it is prevalent in the San Francisco Bay Area. The lead doesn't provide a summary of the whole article. However, as this article is very packed, I do not know if it would be possible for it too. However, the lead could be further developed if it were to touch upon all major sections of the article so that the reader can get a better grip about what information is going to be provided. The article as a whole divulges into many aspects about homelessness in San Francisco. The content has a lot of history. I am not an expert therefore I am not confident in saying what is missing, but from my standpoint, I feel it would be beneficial to include more information about resources that homeless people can utilize. There is also room to add more current information concerning how homelessness is being addressed by advocacy groups or by the government in the Bay Area. There is also only one photo present that does not provide much content. It is only present to show case a portion of San Francisco with a homeless person present. The overall tone is neutral and does not seem biased. There are citations where they need to be and sources seem to work when clicked on. Sources range from late 2000s to 2019. Looking at the article as a whole, the organization is clear and easy to follow. It has a strong section on historical context about homelessness in this area. It also has a strong section about causes for homelessness. Overall it is very well developed.
 * This article is a good fit for my area wikipedia choice. I can add to this article by adding sections about resources of the homeless

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Federally Qualified Health Center


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is pretty difficult to maneuver around with its specific jargon. It contains a lot of hyperlinks that direct the user to other sites to learn more about the topic. This is pretty inconvenient to me as a reader because I expect wikipedia sites to contain easy to digest language instead of having me do more work. Its major sections do not have too much information or content. I also do not understand the organization of the article very much. For example, there's a section about "Look-Alikes" which is about FQHC look-alikes which further confuses me. The information provided here is very nuanced and lacks general descriptions, making the information difficult to understand.
 * This article is a good potential sector wikipedia article. However, it is very technical based and difficult for me to decide how I can add to this article as I am not very versed in policy.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Community health centers in the United States


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article does a good job of providing background information and context about what community health centers are and how they arose in the United States. Its lead does a good job at touching upon the contents of this article. The article itself has language that is easy to digest regardless of the reader's expertise level on this topic. Its content ranges from information from 2000s to 2018. Therefore, this information is relatively up to date. It has citations where needed. The hyperlinks and sources work. The sources come from reliable, secondary sources.The tone of the article is neutral without any over- or under-laying feeling of a favoring side. I do not believe I am qualified to state what this article is missing or not. This article is a good potential sector wikipedia article for me. It does not have a section for Health Centers focusing on providing care for homeless individuals. I can add to this article by providing that.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Homelessness in the United States


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article does a good job of defining what homelessness is (from a governmental act) with the lead also touching upon all the major sections of the article. The content overall is easy to digest with language that people from any level of expertise can understand. Its sources are up to date. The oldest source I found was dated back to 1984 while the newest was to 2019. The organization of the article makes sense with it discussing the history of homelessness in the US first, and then doing into definitions and categories. As I do not have the most knowledge about homelessness and cannot call myself an expert in this field, I do not feel qualified to discuss what this article is missing or should not have. I do think that there are portions of this article that can have its own separate article because of how massive and direct it is. The overall tone of the article is neutral and unbiased.
