Option 1

 * Article title
 * Internet activism


 * Article Evaluation
 * 1. the article is definitely relevant to the topic because it explores and presents a relatively full picture of what internet activism is
 * 2. the article is actually very neutral because it has a huge section dedicated specifically for criticism on internet activism.
 * 3. Each claim has citation (very good citations too)
 * 4. Within the criticism section, they actually discuss how inequity in terms of access to technology may hinder internet activism for some
 * 5. Someone mentioned adding "Ethical Issues" or "Ethical Considerations", which I think is a really great idea because internet activism is becoming more and more popular, and this is something that needs to be addressed

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Civil society


 * Article Evaluation
 * 1. The information is relevant to the topic
 * 2. The article is very western driven in terms of the understanding of civil society with almost an undertone that only democratic places can have civil society. The "Global" section is quite problematic because it suggests that civil society is a way against globalization...
 * 3. Each claim has citation
 * 4. It does not address marginalized groups within the civil society, nor does it address the fact this whole article is very western driven and does not take into consideration of historical, cultural, and social context of other places in the world.
 * 5. Someone in the talk section actually brought up the global section by raising the question of "Civil society needs to be protected against globalization?". They continued with "We've got to be neutral here".

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Advocacy


 * Article Evaluation
 * 1. The information is relevant to the topic
 * 2. The article is very neutral considering it is on advocacy
 * 3. Each claim has citation
 * 4. It does not address marginalized groups (i.e. different level of access to resources in terms of advocacy, interest groups, more money = more power to advocate)
 * 5. Someone in the talk section said "Less US centric please", which I agree. Wikipedia is suppose to be used all over the world, but again it is very western driven. How is advocacy done under different regimes?

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Sina Weibo


 * Article Evaluation
 * 1. The information is relevant to the topic
 * 2. The article is very neutral and based mainly on facts
 * 3. Each claim has citation
 * 4. The censorship section is a little vague and problematic because it only lists events that happened, but does not include how people have worked around "censorship"
 * 5. Someone in the talk section provided updates on on Sina Weibo's data and Service description, which is really important to add into
