Option 1

 * Oxnard strike of 1903
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article's content is relevant to the topic, but could definitely use some additions as there are further sources which are not cited in the article. In terms of neutrality, the article is written from an impartial point of view without an ideological or personal bias. The citations are mostly reliable, but there are certain ones which are incomplete and need to be corrected. Because the strike was organized by Asian and Latinx Americans, it does cover an equity gap.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Cotton pickers' strike of 1891
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article has good preliminary information, but doesn't delve into the results of the strike. Additionally, the page does not connect the information to the Colored Farmers' Alliance in terms of how the strike impacted the organization. The article is written neutrally with reliable citations (although some are formatted a bit strange). The article tackles one of Wikipedia's equity gaps as it covers the history of Black sharecroppers in the American South.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Obreros Unidos
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article's content is relevant to the topic. It is written neutrally, but can use some additional information. The most glaring issue with this article is that it is missing a significant amount of citations to back up the various claims in the article. There are citations listed below but they are not cited in the article itself. The article tackles an equity gap as it covers a labor union formed and operated by Latinx farmworkers.
