Option 1

 * Paula T. Hammond
 * Article Link: Paula T. Hammond
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article provides accurate information about the life and work of Paula Hammond. However, the article is relatively short and is not up to date concerning Dr. Hammond's recent activities (including her appointment to PCAST). The tone of the article is neutral, the images are relevant, and the article is well-cited - the major problems with this article are a lack of information outside of the bare bones. This article covers a member of a historically underrepresented group, although it does not discuss Dr. Hammond's identity or experience as an African American woman in depth. (This is considered a C-Class article with a completeness score of 60).

Option 2

 * Women's Rights in Czech Republic


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article does not exist on Wikipedia and articles about women in Czech Republic are scarce overall. This is an important topic as it represents the political and social status of women in an entire country. It would be helpful to have a Wikipedia page providing an overview of women's political status in Czechia for those interested in the topic. A future article would likely fit into WikiProject Women and WikiProject Women's History.

Option 3

 * International Alliance of Women
 * Article Link: International Alliance of Women
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article provides an overview on the history and current activities of the International Alliance of Women, an international NGO focusing on women's rights. The beginning of the article is effective, but the remainder lacks is incomplete. The section on the current status of the organization is only a paragraph and contains very little information about current campaigns or political stances. This article also falls into a somewhat non-neutral tone promoting the organization itself in the lead and history sections. In order to improve this article, it should be expanded to include more up-to-date information, the article POV should be amended, and information about the organization's work with underrepresented groups should be added. (This is considered a C-Class article with a completeness score of 51).
