Option 1

 * Article title
 * Antillean Confederation


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article has a stub rating with top importance. The topic is relevant to the Cuban Revolution and covers an area of Wikipedia's equity gaps through its focus on anti-colonial movements in the Spanish Carribbean, but lacks citations for most of its claims and is vaguely written.


 * Sources
 * "The Spanish Caribbean Confederation: Modern Subjectivities and a Rhetoric of Failure"
 * "On Pan-Antillean Politics: Betances and Luperón Speak to the Present
 * “A Revolution of Love: Ramón Emeterio Betances, Anténor Firmin, and Affective Communities in the Caribbean"

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Young Communist League (Cuba)


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article has a stub rating with high importance. The topic is relevant to the Cuban Revolution and is neutrally written but only has one reference for its claims and lacks information overall.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Agriculture in Cuba


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article has a stub rating with high importance. Because of the importance of agriculture in Cuba's economy, the topic is important to a study of the Cuban Revolution. While the article is well-cited overall and links to many other relevant articles, it lacks sufficient information for such a broad subject area.


 * Sources
 * "Cuban Agriculture and Food Sovereignty: Beyond Civil-Society-Centric and Globalist Paradigms"
 * "The transformation of Cuban agriculture after the cold war"
 * "Beyond the “special period”: land reform, supermarkets and the prospects for peasant-driven food sovereignty in post-socialist Cuba (2008–2017)"
 * "Farmers' experiments in Cuba"

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Cuban Democracy Act


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article has a stub rating with high importance. It addresses U.S.-Cuban relations during the special period and lays out the basic facts and key provisions of the bill. However, the article could use more citations and more information on the context and impact of the act.


 * Sources
 * "The Cuban Democracy Act of 1992: The Extraterritorial Scope of Section 1706(a)
 * "Cuba's Organic Revolution"
 * "The End of the Bogeyman: The Political Repercussions of the US-Cuban Rapprochement"

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Communist Party of Cuba


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article has a start rating with high importance.
