Option 2

 * Article title
 * Caudal Luring


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article on Caudal luring is under developed. The opening paragraph lacks information as it is only one sentence. The rest of the article has no organization and is summarized in one paragraph.  The information present in this article is neutral. The majority of the claims in this article have citations. The citations that are present in the article are all from reliable sources. This article has a good start however, more information can be added to the article

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Ligual Luring


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article on lingural luring lack content. Like many articles, it has a strong opening paragraph however that is the extent of this article. To improve this article it would important to add different sections of content and elaborate on the subject and discuss more in-depth the different types of species involved in this behaviour.  For the information available there is a good number of citations available and the citations used for this article comes from reliable sources.

For the information that is present in this article, it is neutral. The information that is available is cited by reliable sources. This article has a good start however it lacks in depth information.  To improve this article it would be necessary to add different types of sections for the different content.

Option 5

 * Article title

'''Feedback (MF): Caudal luring seems like a promising article and has potential for expansion as indicated in the original article. Lingual learning would be a good article too. I agree with you on the need to expand on the honeybee tremble and grooming dance although that might be tricky as they are connected with the bee wiki article. So whether these behaviours should be included as their own wiki pages or coalesced with the bee article is unclear to me. I would say that they would be there own articles if they were behaviours seen in different taxa e.g. lekking in different species of birds. So, I would be cautious if you choose one of those.

Contrafreeloading is also on another student's list. I would contact Dr. Wilson to resolve this if you really want to pursue this topic. '''
