Article title: Matriarchy
Article Evaluation: The historical section of this article is greatly lacking. It briefly mentions matriarchal societies in one sentence and then moves on without further explanation. A few people have pointed out gaps in information that need to be added in the talk page as well. Some of it needs to be rewritten/cleaned up as quotes are dropped with no explanation. However, some sections are pretty complete and fleshed out.
Sources: The structure of matriarchal societies; Matriarchal societies; studies on indigenous cultures across the globe.

Article title: Midsommar (film)
Article Evaluation: This film page doesn't include details often included for other films. The soundtrack is exceptional, yet there is no mention of the soundtrack. Furthermore, the director has publicly spoken about a lot of theory and meaning behind this film that isn't mentioned.
Sources: "Ari Aster on the terrifying expectations of his folk-horror freak-out Midsommar: Midsommar is a sickening, heartbreaking and hilarious concoction that can be read as a spiritual sequel to Hereditary as well as a direct rebuke to its pitch-black terror"; "‘Midsommar’ Director Ari Aster on His Pagan Sex Cult Fairy Tale: Making Movies Is ‘a Special Kind of Torture’: The acclaimed filmmaker behind ‘Hereditary’ opens up to Melissa Leon about what inspired his new horror-comedy ‘Midsommar’ and crafting the year’s weirdest sex scene."

Article title: Cynthia Wallace
Article Evaluation: This article lacks information and detail about the subject. It could include her policy stances for her campaign, her headshot, more information about the Dan Bishop controversy, etc. She is important to NC politics and should have a more fleshed out page.
Sources: "Cynthia Wallace believes she can take down the congressman who sponsored North Carolina's infamous 'Bathroom Bill'"; https://www.cynthiawallace.com/
