Option 1

 * Article title
 * Role congruity theory (possible merged with stereotype fit hypothesis)


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article currently holds very relevant information, discussing the implications of the role congruity in leadership roles, politics and faculty roles. It seems to be very neutral, as it only cites information, and does not try to create or correlate points. Citations are clearly seen with either parentheses or indicated by numbers. The citations seem to be reliable, however a lot of them come from the same researcher. This does not make them unreliable, but it is interesting to note that this researcher dedicated a great part of their study towards this. Role congruity theory is almost entirely focused towards women and the bias against them, so the underrepresented group here would be women.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Women in the Brazilian Congress


 * Article Evaluation
 * This Wikipedia article does not exist yet, but I believe it is relevant as it would deal with an extremely underrepresented group in Brazil, women. In the article I would discuss how many women are part of the congress, notable dates for women’s representation in the congress, and what they usually push forward. I could also include what they are introducing as policies, how they are shaping party agendas, and what their voting behavior is like. Because I speak Portuguese, I will also have access to Brazilian studies and documents, which can further improve my article. I know Brazilian women politicians don’t get much coverage, so it would be interesting to highlight what they have been doing for all these years.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * The Jill Robinson Effect


 * Article Evaluation
 * This Wikipedia article does not exist, but I believe it to be an interesting article to be written. After reading the research about this effect, I believe that much like the role congruity theory, it should have its own Wikipedia page. It can be structured by: 1- explaining what it is, 2- background (how the research was conducted), 3- explaining its implications (where this can be seen in the real world). The article I will be basing myself most off of (Anzia and Berry 2011), references many other articles and research done in this field, which means there is a lot of reliable information I can use. I am aware I cannot come up with any links by myself, but I believe the links made in the literature about this topic is good on its own.
