Option 1

Article title
Things Fall Apart
Article Evaluation
The lead of this article holds up well. It concisely introduces the article in a easy to understand manner. It introduces the some sections of the article but not all of them. The content is relevant but there is content gaps on the list of characters and the themes and motifs section is not up-to-date with current research focusing more on original research. I do not see any equity gaps in the article. Also seems to be missing some information on what inspired the book. The article is lacking in criticism of the book. The article seems biased towards praising the article without presenting criticism of the book. It should present more varied points of view showing all the various receptions of the book. There are facts that need citations and has had whole sections removed for lack of citations. Most of the sources are not recent and are very limited. There are not enough and some of the links do not work. The article is not very well written. There are vague or just inaccurate sections. There is only one photo with a very short caption. It is a picture of the cover of the first edition. It is under "fair use". The image is relevant but more images could've helped the article. There are many complaints about organization, writing, and citations. The article has a C rating but is also rated as important. It is part of the WikiProject Novels. The article does present some accurate information on the book but lacks a lot of information as well. It could be improved by more research into the topic in order to bolster the number of viewpoints shown in the article. It could also use more images. The article is not complete.

Option 2

Article title
Homescapes
Article Evaluation
This article fails to present enough varied information on the videogame Homescapes. Homescapes is a very widely played game but the article is not flesh out enough. The development section should more robust. The gameplay and reception sections provide useful and accurate information. The article could be improved with more images of actual gameplay. This would provide useful and relevant information to the reader. The sources are very current and up to date and the links work. One strength is the use of good sources. This article has a Start rating but is High importance.

Option 3

Article title
Nancy Drew: Secrets Can Kill
Article Evaluation
This article lead is written in past tense for seemingly no reason. There is a major redundancy in the article with the plot description and character description being far too similar. There are two images but once again the are only images of the cover art and the article would benefit from images of gameplay. The article could use more information on the development of the game. The talk page has very little going on. There are almost no comments despite the incompleteness of the article. This article has a low C rating but is not high in importance. This may be why it has little supervision/discourse on the talk page. The sources are up to date and varied.
