Option 1

 * Damsel in distress
 * There were a variety of flaws in this article, with a C-Class rating. Sources were not from reputable outlets. A few of the citations were of video game reviews, repurposing the authors thoughts on the page. There were some instances of false claims (since A leads to B and B leads to C, A must lead to C) that should be edited. Some positives of the article is that is was very comprehensive on the history of the term. This section does not need as much editing. I think there would be more done in the 20th/21st century parts of the article as well as in the theoretical responses. These theories are not as well known as the historical examples and I think could be a good edition. The article tackles an equity gap regarding female representation in the media, but it does primarily focus on white women.

Option 2

 * Disability Studies in Education
 * I thought this article was very comprehensive, but not organized very well. There are a lack of images and it is really just one big block of text. The sources are mostly from well-known academic journals and from cited court cases or legislation. I think there could have been more done to include examples of ableism in schools, and the court cases that came with it. I think that would create a more comprehensive article. The article is particularly impressive as it tackles the issue of equity in the classroom, specifically with disabled students. This is an often forgotten student population and there needs to be more information out there.

Option 3

 * White feminism
 * The distinction between white feminism and intersectional feminism is a far too important topic for it to be C-Class rated. The history on first and second-wave feminism is very comprehensive but I feel that it is more important, for this specific term, to focus on more modern feminism. I wish there had been more information on trans-exclusionary feminism. The sources are inclusive and come from reputable sources. I did not notice any faulty citations and I feel that the authors included references when necessary. This topic, while not tackling intersectional and equity gap related issues, criticizes the danger of ignoring them.
