Option 1

 * Article title
 * Alexandra Botez
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is lacking in content and structure. There is also much room for improvement on the quality of writing. The article also contains only one dated picture of the person in question. From looking at the talk page, I have concerns over whether some editors are biased against female figures in chess. This article seems to be a good candidate for advancing the gender imbalance in Wikipedia's biographies.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Chamath Palihapitiya
 * Article Evaluation
 * The biography seems to briefly hit on all major aspects of his life. However, the article needs improvement on structure and quality of writing. For example, the introductory section is too brief and needs to be more comprehensive and relevant. Also, parts of the article seems to be written in bullet form. Due to Chamath being in the middle of recent online controversies, I question if the article has a balanced tone, especially with the reference to him being a "bully" during his days working at Facebook. The talk page seems to reflect such controversies, as there is a warning of a past conflict of interest issue with an editor.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Korean fried chicken
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article needs improvement on structure and content. The lead section does not provide an overview of the major topics mentioned later in the article; for example, it lacks any mention of the history of Korean fried chicken. In addition, there is an odd quote in the second half of the lead section which may need to be edited out. Pictures may need to be added to add visual details to the different types of varieties of fried chicken. The sources seem decent though I have a mild concerns a Forbes article that may or may not a sponsored advertisement for Bonchon, a particular fried chicken chain. There doesn't seem to be any glaring issues on the talk page.
