Option 1

 * Article title
 * Amenorrhea


 * Article Evaluation
 * Article's content is relevant to the topic. There is enough information for an overview of the topic and the different causes + treatments.
 * Content is written neutrally. Most content are facts that have been taken from systematic reviews and peer reviewed journals.
 * Almost all claims have citations. There are some statements that do not have citations, but most these are summary statements at the beginning of subsections, and the information is probably utilized from the next citation listed.
 * The talk page has a decent amount of information over the course of many years. Some information is regarding clarifying questions editors had to ensure the information was accurate. Other comments suggested potential changes that should be made to the page. A good portion of the talk page is written by undergraduate students who had edited the page substantially. There are previous comments written for these students on what to improve, and most of these edits have been done. However, there seem to be parts of some comments that have not been addressed that I can attempt to add more information about.
 * Summary: Currently includes brief overview of amenorrhea and common causes of primary and secondary amenorrhea. Can edit to have shorter more general sentences since full description of different causes of amenorrhea is could later on in the article. Can include etymology information here if needed instead of in a separate subsection.
 * Classification: Divide this section up into two subsections: primary and secondary amenorrhea. The table has useful information, but I think it makes the article more complicating to read as there are many unfamiliar terms.  Third section for functional classification of amenorrhea, which is an older way to classify. Different examples of the conditions in each type can be states within each subsection.
 * Cause: Current draft has listed many common causes of amenorrhea. Can go into more detail about each different cause, including frequency, age, lab test results, and brief treatment.
 * Diagnosis: Different tests used for diagnosis for amenorrhea. Flow chart of diagram of some sort describing the workup for amenorrhea can be useful here.
 * Treatment: Overall treatment, as well as treatment based on type of amenorrhea. Also can include specific treatments for common causes of amenorrhea. New treatments that are now more frequently being used outside of clinical trials can also be included here.
 * History: Only states one point about amenorrhea. This subsection can be deleted and information moved to another section such as in causes.
 * Etymology: Move to summary section.
 * Can maybe include a section on the normal functioning hormones and pathways in order to better describe where things can differ for a patient to have amenorrhea. Or this can be a part of the classification section.
 * Prognosis section and section on outcomes of people experiencing amenorrhea can provide information for long term outlook.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Adrenal Crisis


 * Article Evaluation
 * Article's content is relevant to the topic, however enough detail is not given within each subsection. Reads more of like a general overview of the topic and lists rather than explains.

 * Most claims have citations, however some sections have include only one sentence overview without a citation included.
 * Talk page does not have much recent information, mostly just included citations from where the content was taken.
 * Summary: Currently includes brief description of adrenal crisis and potential causes. Can include more information on brief pathophysiology, epidemiology, and treatment in this section to have a more comprehensive overview.
 * Signs and Symptoms: Currently article lists bullet point version of signs and symptoms of adrenal crisis. Can turn this into paragraph form for the main symptoms and explanation of the causes of these symptoms. More uncommon symptoms can be listed at the bottom in bullet point format.
 * Causes: Can list the different causes of adrenal crisis as different subsections. First explain brief pathophysiology of each cause and why it can lead to adrenal crisis. Include more information on the demographic of each causes and who is most likely to present that way.
 * Diagnosis: Find potential algorithm diagram to help clarify how adrenal crisis is diagnosed. List common tests that are used for diagnosis and what results these tests will show.
 * Prevention: Start off my listing common triggers of adrenal crisis, and ways that these can be avoided. Include more recent literature reviews on prevention.
 * Treatment: Include algorithm for treatment and most common treatments currently used. Include acute treatment, chronic treatment, and preventative treatment. What to treat with, how long to treat, and when treatment can be concluded. Include recent literature on new treatments.
 * Epidemiology: Frequency in different populations/ages and include various risk factors.
 * Include additional section of prognosis and outlook for patients with adrenal crisis (short term and long term)
