Option 1

 * Article title: Talk:5K run
 * Article Evaluation: The lead section does identify the topic of the article itself. It is clear and precise with letting the reader know what they are about to read about. The article and its content is up to date as a recent edit existed in April of this year. The information in the article is relevant and not over detailed. It relates to all time periods and ethnic populations that have participated in these races. In terms of citing and referencing, the article does a great job at this. Citations are thorough and very direct. Very credible. The sources are also very accessible. The organizational aspect could be better. It doesn't really have a format but it still can be followed. The grammar and spelling portion is very well done as there is no errors. The imagery that this article includes is what drew me into evaluating it. The imagery is very appealing, well captioned, and overall a good addition. When looking at the talk page, there is not much activity. The little conversation that did occur, it was general and relevant to the topic that usually consisted of a simple question and a simple answer. Overall, this article was professional. They could potentially include more detail on how hard the race is on your body and possibly add things that draw the reader in more. Good article though.

Option 2

 * Article title: In and Out of the Kitchen
 * Article Evaluation: The article's content is relevant to the topic of the article. It flows nicely all throughout using humor to carry the article. Very neutrally written and precise as well. Citations are included where they are needed thus making this a credible source in my opinion. The citations can be accessed easily for another positive point to the article. The article mostly only focuses on one person as it is a radio comedy. Therefore, it leaves out a lot of underrepresented groups that it could be able to include. The talk page consists of comments that are uplifting and supporting of the article.

Option 3

 * Article title: Home Security
 * Article Evaluation: The articles content is very relevant to the topic of the article. Discussing in detail of every point stated in the introduction, it does a very nice job of expanding. Each claim has a citation and they can all be accessed. This is a good sign of a relevant and credible source. The topic of the article is designed for the whole population living in homes which is most of the world. So the only underrepresented group would be the homeless population. The talk page is not very active, just comments about things that could be added to boost the professionalism of the article.

Option 4

 * Article title: Chinese numerology
 * Article Evaluation: The article does provide information that is relevant to the topic. It is neutrally written and has lots of information to support its claims. Everything is cited and the sources can be accessed. This article does include the Chinese population and is also addressing information that can be translated to other potentially underrepresented groups as well. The talk section is not very active again. It just supports the information provided by the author.

Option 5

 * Article title: Killed in Action
 * Article Evaluation: The article does describe the content promised in the introduction to the topic. The content provided is neutrally written with no bias as it is from credible sources that are cited and easily accessible. This article pertains to those who are active in the army or any militia forces that exist so it is only addressing that specific population of the world.
