Option 1
[edit]- Article title
- Waldorf Statement
- Article Evaluation
- The content is relevant and neutral
- There's no sources cited, and the article does not go in depth about the topic. It basically just copies and pasted what's stated in the actual statement with little or no context surrounding it. I think there should be more background on the topic, and it could link to other wikipedia pages at the bottom.

Option 2
[edit]- Article title
- Committee for the First Amendment
- Article Evaluation
- The content is relevant and neutral. The sources are credible.
- There could be more background of its formation, as well as a more cohesive timeline. It's kinda hard to follow. Also I'm sure there could be more detailed summaries about the two Hollywood Fights Back broadcasts and what specifically was expressed in them. Or maybe even a separate article about the broadcasts especially since there's only two of them.

Option 3
[edit]- Article title
- William R. Wilkerson
- Article Evaluation
- The article content is relevant and neutral
- However there are very little sources cited to back up the information in the article, nor is there as much about his career and the impact he had on the Hollywood blacklist as there could be. Could have its own section about Billy's list and its impact.
