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

Option 1

 * Article title
 * Auer Rod


 * Article Evaluation
 * The content in the article is neutral and relevant to the topic. Each claim seems to have a reliable citation but the article as a whole consists of only four sentences and four images.To improve this article, more could be added to it such as better images that actually point out the rods and information about them generally. I was able to find information on multiple myelomas with Auer-rod like inclusions as shown in sources below. I'm not sure if these sources are usable but they are all I could find on this topic (which may be why the article is so short).

 * https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18190590

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Li–Fraumeni syndrome


 * Article Evaluation
 * The content in this article is also neutral and relevant but many claims seem to need a citation or clarification. There are many notes saying that the article needs additional citations in certain sections. The article hasn't been edited since 2017 and therefore may need some updating. In addition, there is no section for signs/symptoms of the disease. The article as a whole could be more organized and informative with better sources. There could also be a section for ongoing research about the disease.

 * https://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/condition/li-fraumeni-syndrome

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Menkes Disease


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article contains relevant, well cited information that is unbiased. However, some of the headings barely contain any information (Epidemiology). Also the images could be more informative and there could be a section about research going on currently.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Samuel Charache


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article contains neutral information that is mostly cited well but not all of it is completely relevant. It goes into an indepth description of sickle cell disease which, though important, doesn't need to be as extensive as it is. Also, there is no section for early life which could be added and he had many more research citations that could be linked.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * William R. Brody


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article has relevant information that is neutral but it is not well organized. It contains no headings and is basically just a block of text. In addition, only 3 of the 4 sources actually go to a page. The image is blurry and may not be usable by copyright laws as it is not cited. In addition, a section for awards could be added as he has had many publications and holds a couple of patents.
