Option 1

 * Article title: Erika Hilton
 * Article Evaluation:
 * Transgender issues and people are rarely covered in media, news, and research, including in Wikipedia articles, and are highly underrepresented in politics. Erika Hilton was one of the first openly transgender people elected as a Brazil congressperson. It is important for people like Hilton to be better known globally which necessitates more coverage on their lives and accomplishments. The article only has a short overview of her political experience and a short sentence about her past prior to becoming a politician. It has good citations, but not much information taken from them.

Option 2

 * Article title: Heartbeat International (crisis pregnancy center network)
 * Article Evaluation:
 * The article has only a short summary of what Heartbeat International is, with no description of their history or interactions with policy and the law. The talk page has also discussed whether the article appears neutral: while the information appears accurate, the way the author frames it shows a pro-abortion and anti Heartbeat International attitude. Crisis pregnancy centers are widespread across the United States, outnumbering abortion clinics, and especially post- Dobbs decision, it is important that people are able to access reliable information about how the centers are run. Neutrality plays an important role in spreading this information, as those who do not share the beliefs of the author will likely discount the reliability of the facts. It is also important to understand how the centers are funded, but the article gives no research on this topic.

Option 3

 * Article title: Minors and Sex Education in the United States
 * Article Evaluation:
 * Currently, there are multiple states with proposed and implemented bills regarding parental consent to their minor children receiving education on topics including sex, gender identity, and sexuality. Although there is an article for some of these bills such as the "Don't Say Gay" law in Florida, and an article on the concept of parental consent and parental rights. There are many laws that are not descried in Wikipedia articles, such as the Vulnerable Child Compassion and Protection Act, and no central place which describes how the parental rights movement has extended significantly to sex education in recent years. The article would outline how parental consent has interacted with sex education throughout history and some notable laws implemented and proposed throughout the country.
