Option 1

 * Cynthia Clopper
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article’s content provides a natural, brief description of Cynthia Clopper. Notwithstanding, it has grasped my attention that the Wikipedia page references Cynthia Clopper’s “work on dialect perception”, yet does not describe in sufficient detail what this work  includes. The author does an exceptional job of adding citations; though there is one space where a citation is needed. The citations are reliable and all come from scholarly journals. This article tackles one of Wikipedia’s equity gaps regarding the misrepresented subject of linguistics.

Option 2

 * Robin Queen
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article’s content is relevant to the topic. However, the content of the article consists of three sentences. Thus it is difficult to determine if the article’s content has been written neutrally. The author did an exceptional job of ensuring that each claim was followed by a citation. The citations are reliable. The citations are from a combination of scholarly journals and university websites. The author specifies that they have written this article to shed light on the misrepresented population of linguists within the University of Michigan’s faculty.

Option 3

 * Kira Hall
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article’s content is relevant to the topic. The majority of the article’s content is written in short paragraphs. However, I see that the author of the page has sought to write neutrally. Nevertheless, each claim does not have a citation. Thus the claims on the page can not be verified as reliable. The article does tackle one of Wikipedia’s equity gaps regarding the misrepresented subject of linguistics.
