Option 1

 * Article title
 * Native speaker


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is unbiased, but lacking almost everything else. The article has no citations for the definition of the title term, and its only source is used for a claim unrelated to the rest of the lead section, it is not a scholarly source. The article is extremely short, has no images, and needs citations for the information included.


 * Sources

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Hispanicisms in English


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article has a neutral tone and clearly explains the title term, but is lacking in-line citations. Although there are references listed, readers don't know what information came from what reference because there is only one in-line citation. The article is very short and has no graphics.


 * Sources

Option 3

 * Article title
 * First language


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article extends beyond the lead section unlike the first two but the lead section has a couple of claims that are missing citations. There is good use of images and they are properly captioned. The tone of this article appears to be unbiased and the talk page indicates the information on the current version has been vetted, even though there are citations missing.


 * Sources

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Language acquisition device


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article seems to be unbiased, but is very brief. There is only one section beyond the lead section but all the information included has in-line citation. The talk page indicates that the title concept for this article is controversial, but there is not much information on the controversy beyond the short "criticism" section.
