Option 1

 * Article title
 * Palmiet Nature Reserve


 * Article Evaluation
 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic? It has very relevant information. They give lots of general information and context on the nature preserve giving information on the history, Geography, species interactions and environmental concerns for the preserve. It does seem to be written neutrally as there is just basic information that can be fact checked. The majority of the claims made have a citation associated with them and the citations are rather reliable as they come from reputable sources. It also tackles one of the equity gaps as it comes from underrepresented Durban, South Africa.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Invasive species in Puerto Rico
 * Article Evaluation
 * The content is very relevant to the content as they have just started a list of invasive species in Puerto Rico. They categorize and organize the species and animals as well. It is rather neutrally written as there is just a list of animals with their own descriptions. A lot of the claims have citations, only a few without one but the citations they have down seem reliable and trustworthy. I believe it somewhat tackles wikipedias equity gaps, I am not sure how under represented Puerto Rico is but they are giving more coverage on the animals that have been invasive for them.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Piscivore


 * Article Evaluation
 * The information in the article seems to cover a great deal amount of information on animals that eat fish. They also give good list of animals both existing and extinct that fit the definition. It also is neutrally written as it mostly article on a term and has little room for bias. Not every claim has a citation but a majority of them do and when you look closer into them you can find them reliable. This article doesn't tackle the Wikipedias equity gaps as it is a simple term article.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Iroro Tanshi


 * Article Evaluation
 * Most of the information is rather relevant to the topic. It discuses a Nigerian tropical ecologist and conservationist but has limited information on her. It also appears that the article is written neutrally, just has most of the information is awards she has received. Not every claim has a citation and is missing quite a few. It also seems that most of the citations are relatively reliable with a few exceptions. It does tackle Wikipedia's equity gaps as it shows an underrepresented subject in this case a Nigerian Tropical ecologist.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Kīpuka


 * Article Evaluation
 * All the information is related and expands to information on the topic. It gives a quick description before discussing Etymology and its significance to research. It is written pretty neutrally as it just gives more knowledge on this kind of area of land. The claims they make in the article all have their own citations which are reliable and trustworthy after investigating them. The article also discusses Wikipedia's equity gaps as it elaborates more on this historically underrepresented area.
