Option 1

 * Article title
 * Thirst Project


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article has very little information. The article is based on an organization "Thirst Project" whose website contains lots of information on it. Currently the Wikipedia article contains a brief introduction on the project, but  the purpose for which they are doing the project isn't expanded upon. Relevant information like information on the Clean Water Crisis can be added along with programs and solutions the company is offering in order to help the progression on the Clean Water Crisis. Celebrities who have contributed to the Thirst Project can also be added. The article maintains a neutral stand point and each claims has its appropriate citation, but there are few since the article is very short since it lacks content-related information. I would add a section just for the clean water crisis.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Physical Water Scarcity


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article has very little information. The article provides a brief overview on physical water scarcity but can have more information added to it regarding crises that have to deal with the topic such as information on the Clean Water Crisis. Specific regions affected by physical water scarcity can be mentioned along with adding relevant information. Important statistics regarding the lack of clean water can be added. The article maintains a neutral stand point and each claims has its appropriate citation, but there are few since the article is very short since it lacks content-related information.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Get Water!


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is based on a game that is meant to portray water scarcity in India. The article focuses on describing the game but relevant information on water scarcity in India is missing. Information on the clean water crisis and how it pertains to India can be added to this article. The article maintains a neutral stand point and each claims has its appropriate citation, but there are few since the article is very short since it lacks content-related information. The educational aspect section contains very little information on how women are affected by the clean water crisis.
