Women in the Cuban Revolution

 * Article title: Female Leaders of the Revolution in Cuba / How women's lives were changed after the Revolution
 * Article Evaluation: This article's content is related to the topic because the Cuban revolution seems to be focused on male perspectives. I would like to dig deeper into learning more about the women's involvement in the Revolution. Furthermore, I wish to learn who, if any (woman), was involved in Fidel Castro's inner circle that worked for the Revolution's goals. I think this article can be written neutrally although there may be a feminist perspective, but I will try to make sure that it is balanced fairly. Although the Cuban Revolution article already covered the female group, it seems to be inadequate and I wish to add more information in that section of the article.

Aleida March Torres

 * Article title: Aleida Torres's Life
 * Article Evaluation:After skimming this article about Aleida March, I noticed that there is not much information about her life background. I think the article about Aleida is related to the topic because Aleida was Che Guevara's second wife. The current article does not talk about the last time she spoke to Che before he was killed so I would like to include that in the article. In the article, it included Aleida's memoir and I may use that memoir as a source for this article. As for the sources, I did not find many sources about Aleida March. It may be likely that I will rely on Aleida's books to get more information. I am not sure if the citations are reliable because this is from Aleida's viewpoint. There are no scholarly books that focus solely on Che Guevara and his marriage to Aleida nor about Aleida's life during the Revolution. The Talk Page did not have much discussion about the revisions of this article.

Soviet Officers and their lives in Cuba After the Cuban Revolution

 * Article title: What Happened to the Soviet Officers who decided to remain in Cuba after the Revolution? Did they still stay in Cuba after the Fall of the Berlin Wall?
 * Article Evaluation: This is likely a new Wikipedia article because I could not find articles about the Russians living in Cuba after the Revolution. I searched for articles about Russians living in Cuba to no avail. However, I did find an article titled "Cuba-Russia relations." Because of the lack of substantive information about Russians living in Cuba, some sources may not be reliable. I may find a personal testimony from Russians who experienced life in Cuba after the Revolution from websites or newspaper articles. I believe this topic is related to the topic at hand because the Soviet Officers would have an interesting perspective based on their actual experiences in Cuba. They would also share their personal lives such as marrying Cuban women or participating in Cuban politics during Fidel Castro's tenure. I think this article would cover underrepresented groups of people because the Cuban Revolution's article did not really discuss much about Soviet officers and soldiers living in mid twentieth-century Cuba. I will have to look for other sources later.
