Option 1

 * Article title:Code switching
 * Article Evaluation:This article's content is relevant to the topic and is written relatively neutrally. One argument they make that is similar to other code switching articles is that code switching was seen as a substandard use of language but is actually just a natural product of bilingual speakers. Not every claim has a citation as some are missing but most of the citations are reliable. The article kind of tackled one of Wikipedia’s equity gaps in that it covers code switching for many different cultures and mixings of language and dialects.
 * Sources: https://www.jstor.org/stable/45157117 https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED564116.pdf  https://journals.colorado.edu/index.php/cril/article/view/273/249

Option 2

 * Article title:Plagiarism
 * Article Evaluation:The article’s content is relevant to the topic. The author presents arguments made from other studies/sources that are not completely neutral such as that expanded usage of the internet has a positive correlation with plagiarism. Not every claim has a full citation but the majority of the ones provided seem reliable. The article doesn’t really tackle any equity gaps.

Option 3

 * Article title:Writing Therapy
 * Article Evaluation:The article’s content is relevant to the topic and takes a neutral stance on the subject. Not every claim has a citation, but most of the references are reliable. The article covers some smaller or more niche groups that would benefit from writing therapy such as cancer patients and individuals recovering from addiction.

Option 4

 * Article title:African American Vernacular English
 * Article Evaluation:The content in the article is relevant to the topic and is relatively neutral on the topic. A full citation or page is needed on some of the claims. Otherwise, the citations given are for the most part reliable. The article kind of covers one of Wikipedia’s equity gaps in that it covers perhaps a more underrepresented dialogue/dialect and the groups that use it.

Option 5

 * Article title:Reflective Writing
 * Article Evaluation:The content in the article is relevant to the topic and the author is neutral on the topic but clearly states they are for reflective writing and not anything against it. The article is slightly opinionated with some statements such as saying that someone who regularly reflective writes will think outside of the box and everyday life and that most novice writers are not reflective initially. All the claims are backed up by sources and those sources are reliable. The article does cover a more underrepresented subject.
