Option 1

 * Article title: Family Violence Prevention and Services Act
 * Article Evaluation: The article is extremely sparse with only a sentence discussing the DELTA program which is extremely important on prevention (rather than intervention) and creates the necessary funding that many state programs need. As the only federal legislation that funds many of these vital programs much more information needs to be added about what the act does ( or did, a little confused on if it continued after it expired), and how it helps individuals. I would add information of how the act funds Tribal programs, housing programs for those fleeing violence, and much more information on the domestic abuse hotline. Currently, there are only 2 sources listed for the article and there are only 2 comments on the talk page.

Option 2

 * Article title Year of the Woman
 * Article Evaluation: This article is interesting. It's not very organized and there is little to no background discussing what led to this moniker. The effect that Anita Hill had on women in politics (leading to the "year of the woman") isn't really discussed. There's a weird quote by Bill Clinton that's just kind of thrown in there, it's important but not really set up very well. The impact the newly elected women had is also not explained. From what I know from Intro to WGS, women weren't just elected to the senate but also house and local election as well (I believe). There are only 4 sources and one comment debating the picture used.

Option 3

 * Article title Brianna Titone
 * Article Evaluation: While the article does review some of her education and how she got elected there is no information on her current political career. She is the first openly transgender elected legislature in Colorado and the 4th in the country. There should be more information on her career and impact on Colorado politics and LGBTQ politics in general.
