Option 1

 * Article title
 * Anglo-Soviet Treaty of 1942


 * Article Evaluation - Rated Stub Class
 * Lead Section - In the article, there is a lead section which gives a introduction and includes the content box to move to different sections. The lead section gives a bulk of the information, but leaves nothing to the rest of the page.
 * Content - Very little content provided after the information given in the "lead section"
 * Tone and Balance - The page is told from a neutral point of view without giving opinions. There is no biases given in any part, but that could be from a lack of information.
 * Sources and References - There are three sources used, all of which are scholarly articles.
 * Organization and Writing Quality - Even with the limited amount of information, the article is organized and does provide the reader with a clear layout. The quality of writing is good and would not confuse the reader.
 * Images and Media - There is only one image at the head of the page. More images could be provides further down in separate topics which include the information on other countries
 * Talk and Overall Impressions - There is only one comment on the "talk" page from 2018 so the page isn't active in that sense. But the overall page was last edited on 2/21/21 which shows that there is still interest in improvements and additions. I overall think the page could use more information which could be additions to the background and another subsection which includes "effects" instead of Significance.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Cult of Personality


 * Article Evaluation - Rated Start Class, High-importance
 * Lead Section - The lead section of the article is very informative and gives a reader a preview of what is to come. It provides an overview of the meaning of the idea without giving opinions or examples until later on. The Contents section allows the reader to jump from different sections which includes different examples of the cults of personalities.
 * Content - There is a lot of content for the cult of personalities for specific sections and what is provides is very descriptive. There are two sections that need improvement which is the section on "Fascist Italy" and the section on "Soviet Union." Of what is provided, there is uniform information which allows the reader an insight of the topic at hand.
 * Tone and Balance - The article keeps a tone of neutrality, which allows the reader to be informed without being skewed to an opinion unless the develop one of their own. I think the page is very balanced because it gives the reader a good amount of information before diving into the examples that are later provided.
 * Sources and References - There are a lot of sources for the information provided and I could not find a link that had any issues. A lot of the sources were books and and scholarly articles.
 * Organization and Writing Quality - This article is very organized and is laid out in a manner which makes sense and is for the ease of the reader. The quality of the writing is very high and is free of any errors on my initial read.
 * Images and Media - There are a few images which are provided that give a perfect example of the topic. There are a few that can be added in other sections like the one for Argentina. The images do give a good view as to examples of the article without having to read anything.
 * Talk and Overall Impressions - There is some talk of the page, which includes an idea of adding a section for "Donald Trump" and even "Biden." Once you finish reading, it looks as if most of the talk is based solely on opinions and a request for a formal discussion has been made. There is also a section for adding in Mount Rushmore which seems to have been ended. I am overall impressed with the page and the information it has. There isn't much that needs to be changed, but there is a lot that can be added to the section for "Soviet Union" section.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Four-Power Authorities


 * Article Evaluation - Rated Start Class
 * Lead Section - There is a lead section which holds most of the information in the article. The lead section gives a description of the topic.
 * Content - These is only one section of the article which is the "status" section. No other content is provided.
 * Tone and Balance - While the tone of the article is very good and neutral, there isn't much else to it. The article isn't well balanced because it only has the lead section.
 * Sources and References - There are no sources which is one of the flags of the article.
 * Organization and Writing Quality - For the information provided, there is organization and the quality is good.
 * Images and Media - There is no images or media on the page.
 * Talk and Overall Impressions - There is only one comment on the talk page from 2013 and the last time the page was edited was 9/19/19. Overall, the page needs a lot of information and sources. Sections could be split up by the four main nations and information provided on how each section of the Authorities was ran. The lead section information could be split into different sections with more elaborations.
