Option 1

 * Article title
 * Fearless Girl - Fearless Girl


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article's lead section could be a little bit more concise. In addition the sentence, "A plaque originally placed below the statue stated: "Know the power of women in leadership. SHE makes a difference," with "SHE" being both a descriptive pronoun and the fund's NASDAQ ticker symbol" is repeated a few lines later in the description section. The content is mostly on topic, but some of the related instances do not have a clear connection to the fearless girl. The sentence referring to the peeing pup should either be deleted or have a supporting sentence explaining its relevance. A lot of varying opposing viewpoints are explained, but very few supporting ones are explained. We know that there is support based on the petition to keep the statue, but it is not very well explained.  A lot of the sources used are news articles, which can be problematic. Since the article does not seem very biased or incorrect, those sources were probably fine, but a few more reliable sources would be a good addition.  I think a few more pictures could help improve the article, maybe one in each of the locations it has been in.  Overall, the article is well written, informative, and unbiased. Areas of improvement could be resolving repetition and drawing connections between seemingly irrelevant pieces of information.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Feminization of Language - Feminization of language


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article's lead section is concise and accurate, but it makes a mention to the sociology definition of feminization, which is discussed nowhere else in the article.
 * The content is good, and on topic, but the other language section refers mostly to language systems that already use the feminine version of some words, while feminization is the process of changing the words to the feminine counter part.
 * I think including a few more examples of feminized words would be helpful, along with a little more history.
 * The image relates well to the content.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Elements of Art - Elements of art


 * Article Evaluation
 * The lead section is concise and on topic.
 * All areas were correctly cited and had correct attributions.
 * The article was well organized into sections, however since it is talking about visual art, I think that visual examples would help complete the article
 * As it currently stands there is only one image, which is perfect for that section, but the other sections could be improved with more visual cues.
 * As a whole, the article was on topic and unbiased.
