Option 1

 * Geography Media and Communications
 * The articles lead sentence gives a clear and small description of what the article is Geography of media and communication and what it is used for in a general sense which gives a good intro to a new reader who has no prior knowledge of topic addressed in the article. It gives the basics right away information that is needed to understand further in the article on the subjects, the beginning is not overwhelming and, also gives a good amount link and connections to other subject relating towards geography of media and communication. The content throughout the article is relevant towards the topic they don’t overwhelming amount and doesn’t go overly deep into the subject and branch off into other fields geography of media and communication, they do give the hyperlinks to other scholars in different fields that are interested or had a part in subject. It's giving a all the information you would need to have a understand of the topic which a solid overview, history and also the areas of study that geography of media and communication lies within. The article tone takes a neutral approach with the information given, but a majority of that information if historical or a basic overview, they don’t go overboard with there sections giving the information needed and giving any other information notable at the bottom such as the scholars.  Since a majority of the information is fact or theory it doesn’t carry any biases. Facts given throughout the article use a good number of quotes to backup the information given in each section. The source in the article isn’t to relevant but not too old with the newest from 2013 and the oldest source bring from 1939, but the source is reliable and credible that are related and helpful information towards the article. There aren’t too many photos used since its on a subject that doesn’t require or have many photos, which for the subject the article is based on makes it more organized and gives you all the information upfront. Looking at the talk page on the article there isn’t too much activity, but the page has been updated recently. Its rating is a start-class one. Overall, I would say this is a very good article, that is well organized, straight forward and unbiased. The only sections I would look at improving is resource, if there is any new information on the subject.

Option 2

 * Cyberpsychology
 * Firstly, looking at the lead sections of the article on Cyberpsychology it opening sentence is the definition of what the article is about and also some other terms used such as digital psychology. It isn’t overly detailed in wording or with sentence structure not stanching out. The content is organized and serrated after the over view in serval categories that correlate with the definition of cyberpsychology and the different negative effects. The content within them is clear with nothing feelings about of place or missing, every topic was relevant to what cyberpsychology is as a whole and well up to update with the information provided. The article is very neutral they don’t use language that is first person and keep it no bias to any of the negative psychological effects that are within cyberpsychology. Each section has a well-balanced amount of information giving, no part feelings like it was given more time or that the article leaned to one category. All content is backed up with reliable source and from serval different types references, books journals and a bibliography. The source’s given through out the article are up to date but come from a wide time period but mostly come from the last 10 to 20 years which makes sense to the article being about a subject relevant to more are present generation.  The article uses not many photos which make it hard to display some of categories in further detail and the only photo used has many issues, such as its location and the subject being are to understand. The articles talk page is very active with tons of post helping the article and improving the article with some people seeing information missing, the score is a mid-importance and is a start-class too. To conclude, the article is still active and it is very well organized has well non-biased information that is clear and doesn’t lean towards one subject point to another. Things too improve would be finding more information on subject and opening up the information into different subjects, I would also say to add more photo overall.

Option 3

 * Google litigation
 * The third article I chosen to evaluate was on Google litigation, which is all the multiple lawsuits google has faced on issues as privacy, intellectual property and advertising. Look at this lead section its short and clear which it needs to be for the reading to under stand what the article is about and scroll for further information. There isn’t anything missing or out of place the beginning its short and direct. The content given through about the article is relevant towards the topic and are not out of place to what article is trying to provide. The content is up to date with issues from 2022 and issues from 5 to 10 years ago it has a broad range of older and relevant cases and information and also organizes it by the type of case or issue and then gives the case google was facing and as well as gives hyper links, quotes and such to lead the reader to more information on the case. The tone is neutral and seems to given the information rather then present it to the reader this makes the claims in the article feel light and make the reader more curious to learn more and look into some of cases in further detail, this does make the article feel underrepresented and should give a larger but still some what small descriptive paragraph on the case to make me more incited to look further into some of the cases. The sources and references are clear and there isn’t just one for each case but a large variety of references that are relevant and up to date to what is public knowledge, the links also come from reliable working sources, there isn’t any pictures which makes it very easy to pass by serval cases because there isn’t anything visually different from the others.  The talk page is fairly active with good engagement and with conversations of new information on some cases and on how to organize the information in the clearest natural way. Its rating is a C class which isn’t the greatest. Therefore, I would say this article has a strong structure as well as information and sources provided, but lacks with information being in front of the reading and having to go through hyper links as well as no images or other media as well.
