Option 1

 * Article title: Ethics of torture
 * Rating: C
 * Article Evaluation: While the author's content is relevant to the topic, the article is not written in a way that gives more information towards one viewpoint than the other. Even in the talk page on the article, editors express their concern with the bias that the article seems to be written in. The history section does not contain any citations at all, which is a red flag on its own. Some of the citations seem to be reliable, while others still need more verification. There are many contributions on the talk page regarding the bias that the author displayed towards the morality of torture. There were also many common arguments that were left out in their entirety.

Option 2

 * Article title: Emotional Bias
 * Rating: C
 * Article Evaluation: The article's content is relevant to the topic. The tone of the article is neutral, but the article is lacking in terms of citations. Each claim does not have a citation, which is stated on the page as a concern for the article. (That citations need verification) The citations that are present seem to be reliable, but as stated before, not every claim has a citation for it. The talk page only has one comment for some reason, even though it says there have been edits more recently. Prior edits are not shown for some reason, but the one comment that is there is critiquing the article for not supporting emotional bias at all.

Option 3

 * Article title: Social Exclusion
 * Rating: C
 * Article Evaluation: This article does not have a neutral tone, which is an obvious issue for the article. The content is relevant, but since it is written as more of a personal statement, the topic is not represented accurately in a way that does not exhibit a bias. Each claim does not have a citation present, which is another issue for the article. Many different edits have been done to the page, but there are still more necessary to improve the article. References are present, but lack in text citations, which make them less significant/reliable. The talk page is full of people trying to improve the contents within the article, mostly by major edits to the structure of the article.
