Option 1

 * Article title
 * Youth Suffrage


 * Article Evaluation
 *  Lead evaluation  The lead does include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic in a way in which youth suffrage is defined. The lead does include a brief description of the article's major sections although it has more components that are not present in the article. The lead is somewhat concise as it may need a few more details added.
 *  Content 
 * The content presented in the article is up to date and relevant to the topic of Youth Suffrage. The article is missing information on youth suffrage in places other than the US and Venezuela. The article addresses Youth Suffrage which is a historically underrepresented topic concerning our youth which are an underrepresented group.
 *  Tone and balance evaluation  The article seems neutral to a certain extent. There is a section that discusses the arguments for and against youth suffrage, here I see an underrepresentation of the arguments against youth suffrage. I don't think the article is attempting to persuade the reader in favor of or against youth suffrage.
 *  Sources and references evaluation  All of the facts in the article are backed up by a reliable secondary source of information. The sources are not thorough as a lot of the information is gathered is from a select few websites instead of a wide variety. There is a variety of information shared across different time period although there are no historically marginalized individuals.  Check a few links. Do they work? YES
 *  Organization evaluation  The article is concise, clear, and easy to read. There are no grammatical or spelling errors and it is well-organized.
 *  Images and media evaluation  The article does not include any images
 *  Talk page evaluation  On the talk page users have discussed ways to strengthen the arguments made within the article along with new sections and new information that would be helpful to include. The article is rated as start class on the project's quality scale. This article is a part of of WikiProject Elections and Referendums. There isn't much difference from the way we've talked about it in class.
 *  Overall evaluation  Overall the article us underdeveloped and needs improvement. One strength in the article is it includes a decent amount of useful information on the United States and youth suffrage. This article can be improved by adding more information and images along with a broader variety of references.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * COVID-19 pandemic in Texas


 * Article Evaluation


 * The lead includes an introductory sentence that presents the topic but it is not concise. Instead of brief the lead is excessively long overlooking the specific sections mentioned later in the article. The content is relevant to the topic although the lead includes information that is not present in the article. The tone of the article is neutral as it presents information. There are a few claims without citations which need to be fixed. Other then that the citations included are reliable.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Paper plane


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article's lead is only one sentence long and it does not adequately summarize key points of contents discussed later on in the article. The article only has a few citations, there is room for improvement there. The few citations show that they are reliable. This article does not tackle one of Wikipedia's equity gaps.
