Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

 * Article title: Jean Rivier
 * Article Evaluation: The page's content is relevant to the topic and is written neutrally, but it is listed as a start-class article. Following the brief introduction, the only real meat of the article is a long quote from a dissertation on Rivier followed by a list of his compositions and discography. There are citations frequently throughout, although there isn't much content to cite. The sources do seem reliable, but there are others that I've come across which would enhance the page. It does not tackle one of the equity gap topics.
 * Sources:

Option 2

 * Article title: International Alliance for Women in Music
 * Article Evaluation: The information is good, relevant, and well-cited, but it is very short and surface-level. With a topic like this I'm not sure how much more detail can be provided, but seeing the Grove article and the articles cited for that piece, I believe it is worth looking into expansion. It is also rated a start-class article which tells me there is work to be done. There is a good number of sources cited, though, and they are cited frequently throughout. It does cover an equity gap topic. It is also written in an extremely neutral voice.

Option 3

 * Article title: New York Women Composers, Inc.
 * Article Evaluation: It is an interesting equity gap topic with good sources in the bibliography, but is rated a stub-class article. I believe from looking at the sources already provided that, if they were read more thoroughly and incorporated in more depth, the article could be significantly expanded. The information presented is relevant, but there isn't nearly enough. It is written from a neutral point of view.
 * Sources: In bibliography of article-- good sources, but need to be engaged with at a higher level. However, since many available sources seem to be articles and independent websites, it would take a bit more digging to evaluate if there is enough scholarly writing to classify this as a notable page.
