Option 1

Article title: Gender Inequality in China
Article Evaluation: The article seems to be relevant to the class topic since there is a form of violence that comes from inequality. The article seems to be written neutrally and has citations throughout. However, the citations need to be checked to make sure they are reliable. From the initial read through, I didn't identify any citations that were unreliable. The article is apart of a series on Wikipedia, which is Women In Society. It seems like in the past there was a lot of work done on the article, according to the talk page, but recently work has slowed down. This article could use a lot of work.

Option 3

Article title: Cartoon Violence
Article Evaluation: This article ties into the class subject for this semester. It seems that the article is very short, and could use a lot of updating and more research. The talk page even mentions that the article was nominated for deletion back in 2010. In the talk space, there it is mentioned that the article is mess and need better citations. Some of the sentences throughout the article could be better written, and some of the topics could be expanded on greatly.

Option 5

Article title: Wealth inequality in the United States
Article Evaluation: The article relates to the class topic, and the citations throughout the article seem to be reliable. After reading through, there were a lot of great subtopics and key points mentioned throughout the article. The talk section did not have a whole lot of activity going on.
