Option 1

 * Afro-Latin America
 * There is a good introduction which lays the ground work for the article, it shows the foundation upon the article is built.
 * The structure is clear and the tile and subtitles show a clear and concise theme of the article.
 * This article does a good job in the way it is laid out. It takes you through history of afro-latino/a and gives you a detailed description on their history and familiarize you with their past. Then they take you through a detailed note through their perceptions in media and how they are portrayed. Another feature I like about this article is how it goes through latin communities and detail how many of Afro-Latin descent and a even more detailed dive in that specific regions history.

Option 2

 * History of Mexican-Americans in Texas
 * The article starts well with the introduction to the topic and gives us a pretty good analysis and short recap history lesson of Mexican-Americans in Texas
 * After that the article begins to look and feel a bit sloppy. It looks as if the effort after the intro has just dropped and there's no clear and concise plan or layout of the article. This article also feels empty, like there was so much more info missing, info that is important to the topic. As I read this article, I am left wanting more, I know there's more to this topic then what is on this wiki page.

Option 3

 * History of Mexican-Americans in Houston
 * This article was good and had great qualities about it. I felt that the lead section could have included more than it did, maybe give more of an overview on what will be discussed in the article. The structure of the article is good, this wiki page has clear sub-topics and sorts out the talking topics nicely. There is a clear and concise layout on how the article will be presented. The topics and Information start good but I feel that it starts to fall off as we get towards the end, and there's definitely more that can be added to the wiki. Also the images and photos are good and they use a lot of them

Option 4

 * Afro-Mexicans
 * This is probably up there with one of the better wiki pages I have seen. It has good solid foundations and is covered in a lot of great detail. The layout is good and the opening covers the history/context of Afro-Mexicans in pretty good detail.

Option 5

 * Mexican Armed Forces
 * The article starts with a concise plan and introduced what the article was about. It gives a clear idea for the wiki page and set up the article for success. It looks pretty nicely set up and easy to read and understand, not sloppy and all over the place. One other thing I notice about this article is how relevant and recent the picture and images look. It makes the page pop and gives the article its own identity. The list format gives this wiki page a good structure and foundation to what it is trying to convey.
