 * Article title:Khoja
 * Article Evaluation:I believe that the article's content is relevant to the topic. It seems to be written neutrally. Most claims have a citation. The citations are reliable. The article does tackle one of Wikipedia's equity gaps such as covering historically underrepresented populations.
 * Sources:Asani, A. (2011). From satpanthi to ismaili muslim: The articulation of ismaili khoja identity in South Asia. A modern history of the Ismailis: Continuity and change in a Muslim community, 95-128. https://www.academia.edu/download/89767290/2010-Asani-Khoja-Identiity-in-Modern-History-of-Ismailis.pdf

Notes:

I'd like to cover more on the ethnic history of the Khojas and their ancestral roots as Lohana Hindus. I want to clarify their potential roots as an Iranian group from Central Asia, as well as their intermingled with other Gujarati clans such as the Parsis. I also would like to cover more on their migrations into East Africa and the impact that this had on their identity and culture in regions such as Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda.

Option 2

 * Article title:Kirkland, Washington
 * Article Evaluation:The article's content is relevant to the topic. It is written neutrally. Some claims have a citation. The citations are reliable. The article does not tackle one of Wikipedia's equity gaps in the ways that I think it could do so better, by talking more about the Indigenous history of the region.

Notes:

What I want to change on this article is adding more information of pre-European history of the region. I want to talk more about the Indigenous populations from this land, where they came from, and what life was like in Kirkland before colonialism.

Option 3

 * Article title:Hazaras
 * Article Evaluation:The article's content is relevant to the topic. It is written neutrally. All of the claims seem to have a citation. The citations are reliable. The article does tackle one of Wikipedia's equity gaps by covering representation of a historically marginalized and underrepresented group.

I wa nt t o cover their history of originally being mixed-race between ancient Iranian and Mongolic/Turkic roots, and later moving into central Afg hanistan where they mixed with the native populations. I'd like to cover their large Ismaili Muslim history and presence as well.
