Option 1: Child marriage in the Republic of the Congo

 * Article title: Child marriage in Republic of the Congo ( Child marriage in Republic of the Congo)
 * Article Evaluation: There is only a lead section and no subsections. So far, the article is written neutrally, and the content is relevant to the topic. The claim about the Republic of the Congo being the 30th highest nation in the world for child marriage does not have a citation. There are two citations; they are from the websites "reliefweb" and "Girls Not Brides." The article tackles an underrepresented topic, girls in Africa. The talk page does not have any comments except for WikiProject Africa's rating. They consider the article Stub-Class, and it has been marked as needing immediate attention.

Option 2: African feminism

 * Article title: African feminism ( African feminism)
 * Article Evaluation: This is marked as C-class. It has a 59 completeness score, and the page receives 62 views a day. The article is marked as having too many section headers dividing up its content. The article's content is relevant to the topic. Some parts of the article are not neutral. The article seems to be against white feminism and pro-African feminism. The article comes across almost like an essay, rather than a presentation of facts. Most facts have citations, but not all. The citations seem reliable. The article tackles one of Wikipedia's equity gaps, namely women. One comment on the talk page says the article includes information on sexual violence, but it should stick to African feminism theory.
