Option 1

 * Article title
 * Green Wave (abortion rights)
 * Article Evaluation
 * Score: 24
 * One of the most eviedent flaws in this article is that it only had the general information section and does elaborate further in subsections. The article does not include any images either. This topic is important because the protests were a motivation for vast social and legal change across Latin America. A concern I have over this article is that it includes abortion rights, a topic considered controversial by Wikipedia's standards, in the title. However, the movement itself should have more a detailed page.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Ni una menos


 * Article Evaluation
 * Score: 54
 * This article lacks subsections and only provides general information on the topic. The article includes information about different countries, but it is all lumped together somewhat unclearly. The article should also include more background information about why and how the movement started. The last sections were very underdevelopped and should include more information to have a more balanced article.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * African American Women's Suffrage Movement


 * Article Evaluation
 * Score: 48
 * Throughout the article, there are several flags where citations or more information is needed. There could also be more details about the formal exclusion from the women's suffragist movement and barriers to voting. Adding a timeline of voting rights for all Americans, including men, could also be helpful to expand this article. There could could also be a section about intersectionality in its nascent and more evolved iterations.
