Option 1

 * Article title:Graciela Abascal
 * Article Evaluation:This article contains little information. The lead section is extremely minimal, yet it does connect to the section which makes up the body of the article. The content of the body section is generally lacking, we see some limited information about her life and education, and much of it discusses male artists who she had worked with. When we turn our attention to the description of her work it only offers us a very broad description of her style and a brief mention that she has appeared in some exhibitions. The tone is very encyclopedic, but the content is a bit unbalanced in that it gives almost no weight to detailing her art or career. There is only one reference utilized in this article, so much of the information provided is completely unsubstantiated. For how little material this article contains it is organized pretty well, yet there could be a whole second section dedicated to her art and even a third for her exhibitions. There are unfortunately no images, yet there is a table which is useful for quickly obtaining info on the artist. There is no history of activity in the talk page. Overall my general impression of this article is that it has not been worked on much; it is lacking a good deal of information and does not provide references for much of the information that we do see.

Option 2

Option 3

 * Article title:Eloísa Jiménez Gutiérrez
 * Article Evaluation:This article contains some good basic information but is still largely lacking. The entirety of the article is contained within the lead in, as there are no formal sections dividing the material. The content covers much of the basic information needed to learn about the artist, yet there is not much specific detail on her works besides a general description and almost no information about her career in general. The tone is very balanced and encyclopedic. There are two references utilized and they seem to satisfactorily support the information provided. There is some organization in the sense that there is a very short ‘lead’ which is simply one sentence stating her name, lifespan, and her status as an artist. There is then a break and a new paragraph contains the rest of the information given, yet there are no official sections. Again, unfortunately, we have no images and no activity in the talk page. Overall my impression is that this article gives a good overview regarding the artist, but it lacks the specifics which could provide much more valuable information on her life, art, and career.
