Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

 * Eschscholzia californica
 * Article Evaluation: This article needs more citations, specifically in the "Uses" section. The information can also be expanded upon. For example, the "Habitat" section can add more information about the environment of the flower in addition to the locations and general areas of where it grows. There can be more information on the different interactions within the environment as an ecology subsection.

Option 2

 * Quercus agrifolia
 * Article Evaluation: The article was rated C-class. It seems as if there is a lot of irrelevant material in the description of the species. The article is also missing a taxonomy section. After checking the talk section for the article, it seems like there is a history of inaccuracy in the page so double checking and multiple sources might be beneficial.

Option 3

 * Coast Range Geomorphic Province
 * Article Evaluation: The article was rated start-class. There's very little information here. It's also missing any pictures or diagrams. There are few references and no bibliography so in general, a lot can be added and developed. One of the references link does not work and the information does not really correspond with the information in the references.

Option 4

 * Lester Gertrude Ellen Rowntree
 * Article Evaluation: The article tackles one of Wikipedia's equity gaps as she is a female botanist involved in California native plants and this can be seen through how little substantial information is included in the article. The article is rated c-class. Much of the information does not seem relevant such as how much of the "writing portion" is a direct quote from her work.

Option 5

 * Poison oak
 * Article Evaluation: Something must have happened to the page because it is essentially empty. There is a lot that can be done, including pictures, uses, taxonomy, etc. for everything that is listed in writing about species of plants for Wikipedia. It is mentioned in the talk that the majority of information may be under a different page.
