Option 1

 * Illegal drug trade in throughout Latin America


 * Article Evaluation
 * The lead section is good, but could use some work. There could be more description about the major sections of the article in the lead section. The article is not as up to date as it could be, as there is data from 2008. The articles content stays relevant to the topic throughout, but does not go into great detail on the topic. The author stays neutral throughout by just presenting the facts without bias. The citations are reliable and there are a lot of them.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Latin America–United States relations


 * Article Evaluation
 * The lead section of the article is average. There is no real introduction and the lead section does not give a great overview of what the article is going to be about. It does give historical facts and talks about relations between the US and Latin America, but does not go into detail in the lead section. The actual content section is a lot better than the lead section. It is filled with information and is written neutrally. It also has statistics from recent years while also explaining the history of the topic. The facts presented are supported by the references, and each source is reliable. Overall, it is a good article with a lot of information but could use more details and could be organized better.

 * Article title
 * Latin American Culture


 * Article Evaluation
 * The lead section of the article is not great, as there are many flaws throughout. It is just not organized well and hard to read. The language is confusing and the flow of the lead section is not good. It just goes right into the topic without giving a clear introduction to the material. The content section is a lot better than the lead section. There are a lot of facts presented and they are backed up by references. The material is well covered and the author stays neutral throughout. The citations are so reliable and the links work for each citation.
