Option 1
edit- Article title:
- Inclusive Design (Stub)
- Article Evaluation:
- The current content is relevant to the topic, but is not necessarily comprehensive. The article compares inclusive design to universal design and accessibility, but does not explore other design approaches (which could help the reader a- orient to the differences across different methods of design and b- introduce the reader to other design approaches). Additionally, the content is unclear at times and (for the comparisons that do exist) don't do a great job of explaining the difference in the design approaches (mainly focusing on the main applications - e.g. universal design is more associated with the built environment and inclusive design is more associated with product design), but either approach can be applied to the other areas so this distinction may be necessary.
- I think the article is pretty neutral. I couldn't find any noticeable bias promoting for or campaigning against inclusive design.
- The citations are sparse in this article. I think there are some claims being made or explanations being presented without proper references. There are also one 6 references total, so I think this article could had more references and use those references more often in-text.
- The content references accessibility and discusses how inclusive design tries to consider human diversity in language, ability, gender, age, etc. However, I don't think this topic is directly tackling an equity gap on Wikipedia.

- Ability-Based Design
- https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3148051 (Relatively new area, this is basically the only source for this and it's research. I'm not sure if this is appropriate, but this does provide a nice distinction between inclusive and ability-based design. It would be cool to include to contrast inclusive design to both universal design and ability-based design so the readers get the true distinction of the philosophy,)
- Universal Design
- http://designforall.org/design.php
- Value-Sensitive Design
- Value sensitive design#References (wiki page has a lot of references/also has some links that may be relevant for the topics above as well)
- Human-centered Design
- Human-centered design#References (again more references)
Option 2
edit- Article title
- Judy Shaw (stub)
- Article Evaluation
- The article content is relevant, but does not go very in-depth. The entire article is 3 sentences, and does not go into detail about her work.
- The article is neutral. It just states facts.
- There are citations on 2 out of the 3 sentences.
- This article is about a woman computer scientist, so it does address issues around equity in this field and in this field's representations on Wikipedia.

Option 3
edit- Article title
- Ai-Da (robot) (stub)
- Article Evaluation
- The article content is relevant, although it mainly focuses on high-level details of the robot and what shows it has done. It does not discuss the technology or some of the critical reception it got either.
- The article just states facts and is very neutral.
- There are ample citations that all seem to be from reputable sources.
- This article does not address equity on Wikipedia.
