Option 1

 * The Summer I Turned Pretty (TV Series)
 * The Summer I Turned Pretty (TV series):
 * Article Evaluation:
 * This article was rated S-class, meaning that it was started but there is a lot of room for improvement. This article begins with a short overview of the article and the show. However, the article does not feature many sections and mainly consists of the summaries of each episode. Although this article is undeveloped it remains neutral in the small sections it does have. The article has citations for most of their claims, but many of the actors do not have citations leading to their Wikipedia pages. Right now, this article does not specifically cover any equity gaps but there are a lot of materials and ways to include that in the article. After checking the "talk" section of the article, I discovered that there was only one comment on the article. This article is clearly undeveloped and could use a lot of work to include diversity and equity inclusion. To do this, the article could include information on the diversity in actors and actresses included in the show. Also, a section on the "female gaze" or how this show is oriented towards teenage girls could be included. :

Option 2

 * Girly girl
 * Girly girl:
 * Article Evaluation: This article is a stub article that only has one to two paragraphs with barely any citations. This article is also heavily gendered and biased. The language used in this article is not inclusive and is harmful towards specific genders. This article needs to be reworded and more research needs to be done into the topic. More citations need to be made with the statements written. This article does not tackle equity gaps and is actually sexist towards feminine presenting people. It also only covers "women" or "girls" when it could be much more diverse in the people and genders it includes. After reading the talk page, I found that many people agreed with my statements and they had given the same critiques.

Option 3

 * How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
 * How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days:
 * Article Evaluation:
 * The article for How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is a more developed article but it still has a lot of room for improvement. Most of the article is a summary of the movie and a list of characters. Although the article is short, it is written in a neutral tone and the plot is very detailed. The article contains barely any citations or references to other sources to back up their comments. To fix this article, more research needs to be done and more resources need to be cited. In addition to this, the article does not cover any equity issues.   This article could include sections on the lack of diversity in the movie or how it is made for the "female gaze." After looking at the talk sections on this article I found that many people were not critiquing the article or giving any constructive criticism.

Option 4
Grace. “‘Vag Magazine’ Is a Webseries with Funny Feminist Content.” AfterEllen, 16 Aug. 2022, afterellen.com/vag-magazine-is-a-webseries-with-funny-feminist-content/.
 * Vag Magazine
 * Vag Magazine:
 * Article Evaluation:
 * Like the previous article I evaluated, this article is also a stub article, meaning that it is not developed and there are only a few paragraphs on the topic. This article is about a magazine written by and for women. There is not much overview on this article and there are no citations because there are not any statements to back up. The overview of the magazine is very brief and does not give a good description of what the magazine is. Much of the cast list's Wikipedia articles are also not linked. There is much that could be done to improve this article. First, more research into the magazine could help provide a more accurate overview of what it is and why it was written. Citations and sources could be added to back up research and help people understand the legitimacy of the article. Lastly, as a magazine written by and for women, the article could express the diversity that went into the publication. This article could easily reach wikipedia's equity standards with more research. I tried to look at the talk page but there were no comments on it. :

 * Mighty girl effect
 * Mighty girl effect:
 * Article Evaluation:
 * The Mighty girl effect article is, again, a very short stub article with much room for improvement. This article begins with a sentence long overview of what the "mighty girl effect" is. After this they give three brief bullet points of research done by others on this topic. However, the bullet points are each only 1-2 sentences long with only 1-2 citations for each statement given. There are many ways to make this article stronger and more developed. More research needs to be done on the topic to provide a more legitimate article for the readers. Along with this, the article should be split into sections so it is easier to understand and allows it to flow more smoothly. The author also briefly gave a description about the "mighty boy effect" which could be explained in greater detail with more citations and sources. I found that the talk page did not criticize the article for its lack of research but I definitely think that is something that should be improved.
