Option 1

 * School segregation in the United States
 * Article Evaluation: From taking a look at the status of the page right now it is classified as class S and gets around 235 page views per day. Something I think that is lacking on this page is the current day school segregation going on by way of regulations like redlining. I think it should also include a section discussing the addition of charter and private schools and how that plays into the school segregation conversation.

Option 2

 * Violence against transgender people in the United States
 * Article Evaluation: The current class for this page is class S and it gets around only around 26 page views per day so that is probably why the completeness score is only at 51. I think what is missing from this page is for one how the media portrayal and police treatment of people who identify as transgender plays into the violence they experience. I also think it would be helpful to mention the aftermath of these violent acts and how loopholes within US law often times takes away justice from transgender people, especially those of color.

Option 3

 * History of Mexican Americans in Texas
 * Article Evaluation: The current class for this page is S and its completeness score is only 40. While the page only gets 18 page views per day, I think there are a lot of gaps in the content provided in this page. I think something that can be added is the contributions that Mexican Americans have had on the state of Texas such as food, culture and other traditions. I think it would good to also expand on the lynching's of other Mexican Americans in Texas.

Option 4

 * Crime in Chicago
 * Article Evaluation: Current-day the class rank for this page is S and has a decent completeness score of 65. The number of page views per day is 652 so it is a page that is visited pretty frequently and should be classified higher. I think something that this article is how the city of Chicago handles the crime outside of just gun laws. While gun violence is the most heavily associated crime in Chicago, there has been other forms of reform in the city that don't only have to do with that kind of crime.

Option 5

 * Hip hop feminism
 * Article Evaluation: Right now this page ranked class with a completeness score of 57 and around 12 page views per day. For the most part this page hits on all the main points in how women within hip hop continue the feminism movement, however I think the improvement could be in the mentioning of body positivity and the influence modern day artist such as Nicki Minaj, Megan the Stallion and Cardi B play a role in hip hop feminism that is not always as cut and dry as the rappers that came before them. I think mentioning other self-conscious rappers like Chika would also be a great addition to this page.
