Option 1

 * Article title: 2016 Seattle Mariners season
 * Article Evaluation
 * Lead Section: The lead section is lacking because it consists of only three sentences. There should be more content included in this section. The first sentence can also be improved to give a snapshot of the important details of the 2016 season.
 * Content: While the article's content is relevant, it is extremely lacking. There are a lot of obvious content gaps that need to be filled in with relevant, enriching details.
 * Tone and Balance: The article fulfills the criteria for this category. It is written in a neutral tone.
 * Sources and References: The sources used are very reliable and they are easily accessible. If more information were to be added to the article, I would expect a proportionate number of sources to be cited as well.
 * Organization and Writing Quality: The organization and writing quality are up to standard. Although a more in-depth written summary of the season should be added.
 * Images and Media: No images are included.
 * Talk Page Discussion: There are no conversations existing in this article's talk page. It is rated Stub-Class. It is rated Mid-Importance within Wiki-Project Baseball.
 * Overall Impressions: The article has a solid foundation but plenty more research and writing needs to be completed in order to improve the article's overall quality.

Option 2

 * Article title: 2015 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament
 * Article Evaluation:
 * Lead Section: This article has a decent lead section that can be improved with added detail.
 * Content: There is an excellent bracket and several team standings that add to the article's credibility.
 * Tone and Balance: This article is written in a very factual manner.
 * Sources and References: The article uses 11 references such as CBS Sports, ESPN, and NCAA.com. These are reliable sources and are very accessible.
 * Organization and Writing Quality: This article has great organization that is easy to follow from the reader's point of view.
 * Images and Media: One small image is present. Several brackets and charts are present.
 * Talk Page Discussion: No conversations within the talk page. Within the project page Wiki-Project Baseball, the article is rated Stub-Class and Mid-Importance.
 * Overall Impressions: This article has a very extensive amount of tables, standings, and brackets; however it is lacking in imagery and game/team/player summaries and recaps.

Option 3

 * Article title: The Dream of Rome
 * Article Evaluation:
 * Lead Section: The lead section is only a few sentences and while it is grammatically and factually correct, it does not provide a thorough enough snapshot of the novel.
 * Content: It is severely lacking detail and substance regarding the novel.
 * Tone and Balance: The tone and balance are fine.
 * Sources and References: Two references are used and two sources for summary are used.
 * Organization and Writing Quality: This is satisfactory, again, it is just lacking detail.
 * Images and Media: There is a good photo of the book cover featured in the article.
 * Talk Page Discussion: There is a note about fair use of a prior image being used within the article. However this not was created back in 2007 and the image has since been removed/deleted from the article.
 * Overall Impressions: The Dream of Rome needs some serious work, almost entirely focused on adding more content. The article simply does not give a full enough description of the novel to be any use to a viewer.

Option 4

 * Article title: Circus of Carthage
 * Article Evaluation:
 * Lead Section: The lead section consists of a few sentences and an image of the Circus.
 * Content: There are five total sections within this article: the lead section, history, Circus of Carthage design, building usage, and building materials. Additionally, three images and five references are included.
 * Tone and Balance: The tone is neutral and the article is well balanced, although it could use more detail.
 * Sources and References: There are five references listed, all from credible sources.
 * Organization and Writing Quality: Organization and writing quality are satisfactory.
 * Images and Media: There are three images within the article. All three add to the quality of the article.
 * Talk Page Discussions: No talk page discussion.
 * Overall Impressions: This article has a good start. While lesser known than Circus Maximus, it would be nice to see the Circus of Carthage Wiki article expanded to close to the detail of Circus Maximus Wiki article.

Option 5

 * Article title: Architectural mythology
 * Article Evaluation:
 * Lead Section: This section provides a decent start and snapshot of the topic. It is probably the best section of the article.
 * Content: Four sections, two images, and the references.
 * Tone and Balance: Tone is neutral and it is well balanced.
 * Sources and References: There are four books cited, three references, and one external link.
 * Organization and Writing Quality: Well organized and decent writing quality.
 * Images and Media: There are two images which are of high quality. However, this topic could easily include many high quality images that would add to the depth of the article and topic.
 * Talk Page Discussions: A comment was made in 2012. The comment stated that the article topic bordered on neoligism - meaning Architectural Mythology was not worthy of its own Wikipedia page. This could be true because topic is very broad and vague.
 * Overall Impressions: Not much to be impressed with this article, however, the only disappointment is that it lacks some detail.
