Option 1

 * Power broker (politics)
 * Article Evaluation
 * S from Wikipedia. This article is very short and does not contain any pictures. It also does not provide a gender lens and only has one larger sections. There are also no sources cited in this article. This is simply a very short definition with two examples of people who are power brokers. It is very neutral, but it could be more concise. In general, this needs more content, but all of the links in this article seem to work.

Option 2

 * Feminist language reform
 * Article Evaluation
 * S from Wikipedia. This article has two images, but they do not seem to add much to the article. It is split into three big sections of history, theory, and implementation. The history sections goes into a variety of different countries with examples, but it could generally be more fleshed out, especially in the implementation sections. There are a large number of sources, but sometimes there may be too much reliance on sources as in some paragraphs almost every sentence has a citation after it from the same source. It could be useful for this article to have a more intersectional framework and have more discussion surrounding the LGBT community.

Option 3

 * Identity politics
 * Article Evaluation
 * S from Wikipedia. This article is similar in terms of level to the Feminist language reform as it has multiple sections with examples. I was a little confused by the one image that it had as it did not seem to connect to the topic well. There were also a lot of sources in this article and the majority of sentences had a citation. The authors recognized intersectionality in the article, but they failed to go in depth in the article.
