Option 1

 * Article title
 * Texas hold 'em


 * Article Evaluation
 * I was initially planning on evaluating "Poker," but later decided to go with Texas hold 'em, a subset of poker, because I think it is a narrow faucet of a broader subject. The article maintains a neutral tone and does not try to influence the reader in any shape. The main objective of the article is to inform/educate. What stood out to me was the inclusion of relevant and informative graphics and videos, which make the "informing" part of the article more effective.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * People's Park (Berkeley)


 * Article Evaluation
 * Overall, the article is written very well. It is informative and includes a lot of key historical events that have impacted People's Park. I think there are a lot of sources (journals, research articles, etc.) to add, but I think the article is written pretty well and I do not think that I could make it any better given my lack of expertise.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * RB Leipzig


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article, despite having multiple sources and a lot of information available, has grammatical errors scattered throughout the article. Additionally, the talk page mentions the fact that the article did not meet the criteria for a "good article," which shows that there is a lot of room for improvement. Given that RB Leipzig is a relatively young soccer club (compared to its counterparts), I think there is a lot of relevant information that is still to be added.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Iran national football team


 * Article Evaluation
 * There are a lot of grammatical errors that need improvement, but there are relevant pieces of information included. However, after looking at the references, it's become clear to me that the sources were not quite reliable. It is hard to find peer-reviewed journals on this topic, but it would be nice to find some and improve the article.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Banksy


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article seems to have sprinkles of speculation and "conspiracy" since Banksy's identity has never been revealed. I think it is an article that obviously needs improvement, but it will be hard to improve the article given that there aren't enough reliable sources to contribute to the article. I think analyzing Banksy's artwork, however, would be nice.
