Option 1

 * Article title
 * Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2018
 * Article Evaluation
 * The lead of the article does a good job articulating what the act is, who enacted it and what the overall law was aimed at. There are multiple citations in the lead, which editors on Wikipedia typically try to stay away from to prevent the lead from being too specific. The Objectives section was cited using academic sources and was very well written and concise. However, the name of the section is misleading as the actual objectives for passing the law were defined in the lead, and the actual articles of the law are identified in the Objectives section. The rest of the article references news articles the validity of which are questionable, but none are referenced in a political context which makes them slightly more valid. However, the last sections are extremely difficult to read and they are filled with grammatical errors.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Education in Kazakhstan


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is decently well written with minor grammatical issues. The lead is not an overview fo the topic but a timeline on how the education system of Kazakhstan evolved from the early 90’s to the early 2000’s. Despite being very informational, almost none of the information provided is substantiated with sources, and the sources that are included are extremely dated given how vulnerable the subject is to change. There are also numerous [citation needed] distinctions that have not been substantiated yet. Also, the “problems” section of the article needs to be greatly expanded.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Water resources management in Guatemala


 * Article Evaluation
 * A majority of the information provided throughout the entire first half of the article was almost unanimously attributed to one source. The information included in the article is pertinent to the topic and presented in a informational and neutral way. There are little to no grammatical issues present and there are pictures to help enhance ideas presented throughout the article. The only pressing issue is the lack of diversity in the sources, and that some 0f the facts presented throughout the article are not cited.
