Option 1

 * Article title
 * United States abortion-rights movement


 * Article Evaluation
 * The content of the article is for the most part relevant to the subject. However, some of the content in the "Overview" section seems to be general, non U.S. specific coverage of the reasoning behind different stances on abortion, going on about their arguments rather than staying focused on U.S. abortion rights movements. There is some loaded language across, as well as some claims without citation. The sources that are there, save for some primary sources, seem reliable and recent for the most part.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Women's suffrage in Mexico


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is filled with incomplete information on the history of women’s suffrage in Mexico, with very little organizational sense. The sparsity of thorough, holistic detail gives the impression of a bare-bones article tied only by tidbits of information and not a collection of knowledge. It’s difficult to parse, made even more troublesome by the non-neutrality of its tone and various syntactical errors. An article about women’s suffrage in Mexico, a country where women’s suffrage was achieved relatively late but its modern day parliament is proportionally higher than average female in representation, should definitely be much more encompassing of its history. It’s not like there is not a wealth of information about progressive women’s movements in Mexico, nor is there a lack of interesting knowledge to include. For example, the post on the talk page talks about including the topic of soldaderas of the Mexican Revolution in the article, a topic that I don’t doubt is academically linked with the development of women’s political rights.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Gender inequality in El Salvador


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is very relevant and informative. Its sectioning is strong and focused, it features nice supplemental images, and it seems to be for the most part, save for some inconsistent formatting and dead links, well sourced. The intro could be stronger; it doesn't seem at the moment descriptive enough to "get the gist" on the topic from just reading that. Some word choices in the body could be more specific and explanatory than they currently are.
