Option 1

 * Article title
 * Sports equipment


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article needs some improvement since it is missing citations. It is not a bad article but needs citations and more sources to back up information,


 * Sources

Option 2

 * Article title
 * History of the electric vehicle


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article talks about the history of electric cars from different time periods. The article's information comes from many reliable sources and the article provides good content on electric cars and components as well. It gives a good grak down of how tesla started with the roadster in 2004. Then talked about other EV's coming in 2010s and 2020s. Their is more history from 1900s as well which is given and backed by sources. I believe that the article is written fairly and has about 259 reliable sources to go with the article. Article content is relative to the topic. The article is written neutrally since there is not arguments going on. It mainly just talks about Ev's and the history. Citations do look reliable

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Tesla, Inc.
 * Article Evaluation
 * Article is written with proper citations and reliable sources. Article is neutral as it just talks about Tesla and how it grew, background, and what they offer. The article is relative to the topic since my group will be talking about electric cars. It kind od tackles the equity gap since electric cars are underrepresented and Tesla is helping them grow.
