Option 1

 * Article title: Human rights in post-invasion Iraq :
 * Article Evaluation: The article has two warnings at the top of the page: one on bias and the other on factual accuracy and out of the date information. A lot of citations are missing. The layout is weird; there is a timeline of minimally sourced events, but the sections are either huge or barely contain information. There are no academic cited sources and the article is written with a strong Western bias. A large part of the article focuses on human rights violations during the Iraqi invasion and would be more helpful in a different article. :

Option 2

 * Article title: Human rights in Nigeria:
 * Article Evaluation: This page has multiple warnings from Wikipedia on the top of the page, elucidating both the inaccuracy of sources and the need for better sources. The section and subsection titles are all over the place. The international perspective section only covers the US Department of State's views on the matter. A lot of the sources are from blogs, online newspapers, religious websites, and Western media sources. The sections are either overflowing with lots of extra information or severely lacking in information. :

Option 3

 * Article title: Human rights in Sudan :
 * Article Evaluation: A lot of citations are missing or need to be updated. There is a factual accuracy warning at the top of the article from Wikipedia. The article reflects bias in a few areas and within its sources, a lot of which seem to come from Christian organizations. The layout of the page is sporadic and disorganized; a lot of irrelevant information is included that would serve better on another page. The introduction is not well-written and does not adequately represent the page. :

Option 4

 * Article title: Human rights violations by the CIA :
 * Article Evaluation: The introduction paragraph is only one sentence long. The tone of the writing does not give off the needed level of professionalism; it reads like a high school essay in punctuation and wording in a lot of places. Citations are heavily needed throughout the article. The article is written with bias against the CIA. There is a lot of information about the CIA's dealings with other foreign police institutions that would be better in a different article. :

Option 5

 * Article title: Inequality in post-apartheid South Africa :
 * Article Evaluation: The entire article only has ten citations. The most current source is from 2017, but most of the demographic sources are from 2013 and definitely need to be updated. The article itself is very short, with only two sections and one subsection. The layout of sections is odd with the given information. The current effects of apartheid are not elaborated on outside of very broad statements. :
