Option 1

 * Article title : Emilia Cruz :
 * Article Evaluation : The lead section does a good job at describing who Emilia Cruz it, but does not mention the major sections that the article discusses. This articles content is up to date and provides relevant information about her notable work. The article does not include the meanings behind some of her artwork however and the social issues that Emilia Cruz tackles through her work. The article has a very neutral tone to it which is great. This article also provides a great amount of credible sources for each of the topics it mentions. The organization of this article is also very clear and neat making it easy to look for and understand the topics presented. There are no images included which is a bit disappointing considering half of the article is talking about three specific and notable pieces of art she has created. It would have made this article a lot more interesting and informative to see those pieces of art with clear captions underneath them. There are no discussions on the talk page, however this article was rated as Start-Class through both Wikiproject Biographies, and Wikiproject Women Artists meaning that it is a good start but is lacking in many areas. This article's strengths include its structure, it's neutral tone, and it's credible sources. This article could be improved with the addition of artwork images, artwork meanings, and social issues the artists tackles with her art. I would assess this article as underdeveloped but with a good foundation to build off of.:

Option 2

 * Article title : Sonya Fe :
 * Article Evaluation : The lead section is lacking in detail both about the artist, and about what the article will be discussing. This articles content is out of date as the latest sources are from 2013. This article does a good job explaining the meaning behind the artists work, however does not include what style or medium she uses. This article has a neutral tone to it and uses the artists own words to describe her purpose behind her work. The article does include some reliable sources but I believe it should include more in general as well as updated sources. The organization of the article is very concise and easy to see where to look to find what information. There are no images of the artists work which is always disappointing to see because it does not give us examples of what is mentioned in the article. There is a modification of an external link on the talk page that provides good information on the change and what to do if someone does not think that change should have been done. The article is rated as Start-Class for Biography: Arts and Entertainment, Visual Arts, Women Artists, and California (With low-importance). This articles strengths include its formatting, its sources, the list of collections and exhibitions, and its tone. I would improve this article by added more up to date sources, images of her work, and discuss the meaning behind some specific pieces of her work. I would say that this article is underdeveloped but has a good structure that one could work off of. :

Option 3

 * Article title : Shizu Saldamando :
 * Article Evaluation : The lead section describes the artist and her style in great detail, however it does not give the reader an idea of what the article will be discussing. Some of the sources are up to date while others are a bit outdated. The article does a pretty good job describing the medium and style of her work as well as the issues she addresses in her work. This article also has a neutral tone to it which makes it seem very unbiased. There is an extensive list of sources that are included and they are all from very reliable sources. The organization of this article is very poor in my opinion and there should be an additional section for the examples of her work, instead of including it in the biography section. I think the article should also put the mediums and style of her work in a separate section instead of including it into the lead section. There are no images of her work which I think would make the article a lot easier to digest and understand what the author means when they describe her work or the meanings behind her work. On the talk page someone has described taking out uncited exhibitions from the main page. On the talk page it also shows that this article is rated at Stub-Class for Wikiproject Biography and Wikiproject Women Artists. The strengths of this article include the discussion of style and meaning behind her work, a good biography, a large amount of references, and a section for important quotes from the artist. I would change the organization of this article and include new sections to it as well and reworking the lead section to give the reader an understanding of what the article will be discussing. I would also add in pictures to support the readers comprehension of the ideas and concepts talked about in this article. Overall I would say that this article is underdeveloped and could benefit from some changes and additions. :
