Option 1

 * Article title
 * New York City Department of Parks and Recreation


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article proved to be relevant to my topic of species diversity because it includes the aspect of how humans/organizations impacts species diversity in urban environments. For example the article stated that the organization often host park cleanups. But on the other hand it was stated that the organization host concerts and fairs which may not be good for the environment. The article was written neutrally. From my understanding I believe this article is neutral. It just states the facts. In this article it states both the positives of this organization but also how the contribute to the degradation of the wildlife species in NYC. Every claim that was stated included a citation. I have clicked on the links to the citations and they seem to be reliable and accurate. Some of which have lead me to new information for my upcoming project.
 * No this topic does not indulge in Wikipedia's equity gaps.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Van Cortlandt Park


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article Van Cortlandt Park proved to be useful to me during my research because it provided a new insight in which I didn't even realize contribute to my topic. For example this article speaks on the various terranes and environment that the Van Courtland Park has to provide. This is relevant to my topic because not only do these various environments some which are man-made contribute to the species diversity in the area. This article also spoke about the different types of water supplies provided to different species throughout the park which can affect plant species in many ways. From my understanding this article is a not biased and provides a lot of importance factual information. every claim does not have a citation which I believe is where the article can improve but a majority of the article is cited and the sites are accurate and work. this topic does not engage with Wikipedia's equity gaps. The article does have a lot of information on its founding members.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * City Island, Bronx


 * Article Evaluation
 * Upon reading the article city island Bronx I found this to be useful to my research on animal species diversity in New York City. Proved to be useful because it included aspects of research such as geology, terrestrial and marine wildlife and even the various plant species. They've even included how the land is utilized on the island. How my understanding this article is neutral it doesn't have a biased view on any one point. This article has a lot of clear concise information and almost every known topic about city island. From demographics to weather patterns to island population the authors of this article clearly did thorough research. Surprisingly this article does not have a lot of citations but from the ones that I took the time to investigate were accurate to the citation and we're relevant to the article. I don't see how this article could indulge in Wikipedia equity gap.
