 * Article Evaluation
 * The content of this article is relevant to the topic. This article describes how this software helps people find fake news. This article is always in a neutral position and does not have biased language. Because this article shows both sides of the software, there is a part of people who feel it is effective (and explain how), but another part of people who criticize the software for privacy reasons. This article describes both sides, and does not go into detail about whether the software is good or bad. In addition, every statement in this article is cited and the information is reliable. This article addresses one of Wikipedia's equity gaps.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Circular reporting


 * Article Evaluation
 * Most of the content of this article is related to the topic. This article describes how and why Circular reporting happens, and and some examples of circular reporting. However, there is a section on the History of citogenesis, which I think is a little less well explained (not well connected to Circular Reporting). It is a neutral position with the article on cyclic reporting, without biased language. In addition, every statement in this article is cited and the information is reliable. This article describes examples of cyclic reporting according to a timeline and is cited.
