Option 1

 * Article title:Villain
 * Article Evaluation:This article has a warning that it has multiple issues needing attention. For one, it needs additional citations to help verify the information. Secondly, it may contain original research meaning facts for which there is no published source. This article was also a former featured article but has since been demoted to a c-class article for the information it is missing. The talk page mentions the anti-semitic roots of many villains that is not included in the overall article. Additionally, I think information should be added to touch on the stereotypes against women, the LGBTQ+ community, and more.

Option 2

 * Article title:Groupie
 * Article Evaluation:This article is rated as c-class and of low importance as it is missing a lot of relevant information. The article briefly describes what a groupie is defined as and explains the origin in music as well as their place in sports. Yet this article fails to touch on the common stereotypes of groupies and the harmful image they create of women. This could be a section to look into further.

Option 3

 * Article title:Bechdel test
 * Article Evaluation:This article is rated as b-class and is already very well developed as a wikipedia entry. There is not much information missing although there are possibilities for little edits here and there. It may not be the best choice for the overall wikipedia project, but it is something to look into on a separate occasion.

Option 4

 * Article title:Savior complex
 * Article Evaluation:This article has extremely limited information and rates as a stub of low-importance. There is a lot to expand on concerning this topic such as the savior complex seen through different types of media and how it has evolved as a plot point over time. Additionally, there is much to speak on regarding male savior complexes and white savior complexes, which ties in to our wikipedia project. Analyzing how women are portrayed in these circumstances can be an interesting topic to write more about.

Option 5

 * Article title:Women in Film
 * Article Evaluation:This article rates as c-class but is under review for b-class. Regardless, it has a notice that the information provided is largely focusing on the U.S. rather than globally. It could be interesting to address women in film in other regions of the world, continuing to discuss wages, representation, and more. Additionally, it can be updated to add more recent films that deal with feminist issues or are directed by women.
