Option 1

Article title: Perpetual access
Article Evaluation: The information already present is all relevant to the topic and discusses different facets of it in a neutral style. Not every claim has a citation, but there are quite a few that do, although three of the four citations are the same source. Both sources are published material, so they appear to be reliable. Not much has been done with this article, but it active in to WikiProjects, but is not of high priority.

Option 2

Article title: Internet Memory Foundation
Article Evaluation: The article does a great job already of ensuring that all the present information is pertinent and neutral to the topic, especially in dealing with the different stages of the subject over its existence. While there is a good amount of citation, not every claim has one tied to it. The citations are reliable and there is a good mixture of different sources. The article is flagged as having multiple issues and it is involved in four different WikiProjects, all labeled it as start-class and one listing it as low-importance.

Option 3

Article title: Newspaper digitization
Article Evaluation: With the short amount of information provided, it is all centered around the process of newspaper digitization in a neutral, structured manner. Not every claim has a citation and it needs more, but the citations provided are reliable. There is no talk page for this article.
