Option 1

 * Article title:Hipparion
 * Article Evaluation:The article is rated as a stub-class level 5 vital article, of high importance to the equine, mammal, and palaeontology WikiProjects. The article is relevant to the topic, but very basic information, and could be improved with more depth and aspects of the topic covered. It is written with a neutral tone. Some of its claims have sources, but few sources were used overall. Sources look reliable and most are relatively recent. No equity gaps are tackled.

Option 2

 * Article title:European Hamster
 * Article Evaluation:This article is rated as a start-class article and of mid-importance to the rodents WikiProject. It has more information than a stub, with some relevant and general information covered, but could be improved by adding to existing sections, balancing the sections, and adding more sections to cover more aspects of the topic. It seems neutral in tone. Aside from the first paragraph, which seems well-cited, many other paragraphs have little, if any, citations. Most citations seem reliable, a few outdated, and one is cited twice in references. No equity gaps appear to be tackled.

Option 3

 * Article title:Gekkoninae
 * Article Evaluation:This article is stub-class and high-importance to the amphibians and reptiles WikiProject. All information seems relevant, but there is minimal, basic information. There are very limited sources, only other Wikipedia pages and a broken link. There are a few pictures, however. It seems written neutrally, and does not address any equity gaps.

Option 4

 * Article title:Ninjatitan
 * Article Evaluation:This article is stub-class and of mid-importance to the dinosaur and Argentina WikiProjects. While the information is relevant, it could benefit from more aspects of the topic covered, organization, pictures, and references. Multiple sources seem questionable in their reliability, such as small news organizations. Most but not all information is cited. It does mention scientists who discovered this creature that are Argentinian, which may address the equity gap.

Option 5

 * Article title:Miniature Horse
 * Article Evaluation:This article is a level 5 vital article in the start-class and of mid-importance to the equine WikiProject. It does contain a good amount of basic information, but could touch on more aspects of the topic. There are multiple images, and sources seem reliable for the most part. It seems that most information is cited. It is written neutrally. It briefly discusses the use of miniature horses for disabled people as service animals, which may align with the equity gap.
