Option 1

 * Article title
 * Jim Gardiner (Chicago politician)


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is a stub and severely missed Alderman Jim Gardiner's legal troubles. The only entry on the talk page, occurring this afternoon, mentions this, suggesting others may be getting ready to edit. Everything currently there is cited properly and written neutrally.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Ballot Access


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is missing sources and has significant holes. It only covers some states, notably missing Illinois. There is a lot that can be expanded here.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * (Not currently an article) Redistricting in Illinois


 * Article Evaluation
 * There is not currently an article for Redistricting in Illinois. Other states have similar articles that cover the process in those states. This is an opportunity to create a whole new page.
