Option 1
This article is definitely below-average in terms of quality of content and structural layout. The lead section does not include an introductory sentence that concisely summarizes all that the article discusses. It also defines the term 'yellowface', yet this word is not completely dissected or addressed in later sections. While the article's content is somewhat related to the chosen topic, it describes Asian individuals' work in American movies disproportionately, placing more weight on their acting roles and less emphasis on the overall portrayal of the characters that these actors played. The article does a good job of using hyperlinks, but many of the topics that it brings up should be fleshed out more deeply. The article's main sections are all structured in an ineffective manner. Finally, there are no visualizations to be found. I firmly believe that images would strongly add to the context of this Wikipedia page, and their use should be leveraged in order to place the most information on the page.

Option 2

 * Article title:Anti-Chinese sentiment in the United States
 * Article Evaluation:Overall, this article is very well-done. Although the topic is one that is expansive and difficult to cover, this Wikipedia article does a great job sourcing anti-Chinese sentiment in the United States and detailing specific instances in which this was especially obvious. For example, the article mentions specific people who were victims of hate crimes as well as the anti-Chinese sentiment that emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic and other events. The article also implements impactful images and hyperlinks to a variety of topics that are related to this page. However, there could definitely be more information placed into the COVID-19 section.

Option 3

 * Article title:Stereotypes of East Asians in the United States
 * Article Evaluation:This article is extremely well-written. It cites sources from newsletters, studies, and additional works in a comprehensive manner, dissecting the stereotypes of East Asians in America and how pop culture perpetuates them, even today. After reading through this Wikipedia page, I felt that it covered everything related to such Asian-American stereotypes.
