Option 3

 * Article title
 * National Capital Region (Canada)


 * Article Evaluation
 * The banner at the top of this article exclaims that the content reads like an advertisement and that revisions are required. The second paragraph of this article is confusing and I would recommend removing as it should not be the focal point of the article. Several of the references are old and could benefit from updates. For example, the census references are from 2006 that date over 16 years ago.
 * In my view, the article is written in a neutral tone that does provide factual information. The citations are used frequently, however some link to other Wikipedia pages which is not considered a notable citation source.
 * Citation 32 references that the NCR is bilingual due to federal language of work purposes. I feel that is incorrect.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Japanese Chin


 * Article Evaluation
 * The talk page to this article points out serious copyright issues with the old content. There are only 7 references that support the information and most are from websites. The article is written in a neutral form. This is a start class article that has reasonable visibility of 163 views per day and a completeness score of 41.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * City of Ottawa


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is badly out of date and only includes one reference. For example, the budget section is dated in 2010 and should be removed or updated. The article is limited in information and could benefit from a factual info box about the city of Ottawa. This is a start-class article of mid-importance.
