Option 1

 * Data Culture
 * Article Evaluation
 * Lead was able to summarize the main points of the article and it was concise. However there are many things that could be changed to make this article better.
 * Contents of the article are short and I think for a topic like this, there is many things to add onto that could make the article more better and better written overall.
 * There are no images to go along with the contents. It loses the audience's' attention quickly when there are no pictures, so adding a few would help the audience understand the contents of the article.
 * Tone does not stay neutral and so better phrasing of words to make it more neutral and less opinionated would make this article better.

Option 2

 * Self-censorship
 * Article Evaluation
 * The Lead does a good job overall giving the main gist of the topic but it does not summarize the article well. There are also a few other things that can be changed to make the article better.
 * Adding a few pictures would help the audience to be more attentive to the article because right now some people may just stop reading in the middle of the article.
 * The lead talks about how there is a long history but there is no history section of the article. It would make the article transition smoother if there was a history section after mentioning how there is a long history of self censorship.
 * The "Region" section would be better if there were more information on the countries and how self censorship is practiced.

Option 3

 * Political criticism
 * Article Evaluation
 * It provides a good definition of political criticism but there is a lot to be added for this article seeing how it is the only information on there.
 * It would be good to start out with a history of political criticism and, if any, the changes of it throughout history.
 * Adding political criticism in the modern age would be good to as it brings in current events and current evidence of this topic.
 * Adding a section about the people in political criticism would allow the audience to understand this topic more.
 * Adding pictures will also help as well since it will grab their attention.
 * Since the definition of political criticism is the only thing in the article, having reliable sources for the main points will definately make the article stronger.

Option 4

 * Straw Poll
 * Article Evaluation
 * The lead was able to explain concisely and the contents on the US is good but there are a few issues that could make the article better.
 * Section of "other types of polls" has no citations or very few of it. It would make the article stronger to add citations so that there are backed up evidence for it.
 * The content mostly focuses on US and in the section of China, it is very small compared to the information of the US so adding more information on China and other countries around the world will allow the article to show a overview of this topic and will stand out to be neutral and not just one sided.
 * The "See also" section could have more links if people wanted to look more into it. If there are more information similar to this topic, it should be linked on the "See also" section so it is easier for people to access it.

Option 5

 * Femonationalism
 * Article Evaluation
 * For a topic like this, it is surprising to see little information about this. The contents in it already explain what femonationalism is and the "See also" section has a lot of links if people wanted to look more into this. Though there is a lot to be said about this article that could make it better.
 * Creating sections and with the first one being the history of femonationalism would be a good start. The contents already there feels more of an info dump than a lead so by creating multiple sections about this topic may help with the lead.
 * Adding current events as examples would help the audience to understand the topic more since there will be some who may not know what this is.
 * Changing the phrasing of words to make it more neutral will give it credibility of the article since the tone is not quite neutral.
