Option 1

 * The Bechdel Test:
 * Lead Section: The lead section for the "Bechdel Test" is okay. The lead sentence could be stronger, and it's explanation of the test needs to be more concise. There are only 2 named sources for this section, which needs to be improved. This passage is very wordy and needs to be edited to be more concise. Content:  The content of the article is accurate but does not include many modern sources. I believe that with a modern topic such as the Bechdel Test, it is imperative to have modern sources as well. Therefore, I will need to research and include more modern sources for this page.  Tone and Balance:  This article does a good job of staying neutral. This article does a good job of representing the history of the test, but does not include much about the modern implications of the test.  Organization and Writing Quality:  The author does a good job of presenting the information, but the descriptions could be more concise.

Option 2

 * Women in Film:
 * Lead Section:
 * The Lead Section does a good job of explaining the presence of women in film while acknowledging that women are underrepresented in the film industry.
