Option 1

 * Article title
 * Sea apple


 * Article Evaluation
 * Lead section is concise and introduced topic clearly. No information is discussed that is not further expanded upon in later sections. However, more information could be added that is explored further in the article, such as introducing defense mechanisms and problems with captivity.
 * The included content is all relevant to the topic without being biased towards one particular subsection. However, being rated 'C-Class', it is understood that this article is underdeveloped and could use more missing information. The tone is neutral and is not biased towards a particular viewpoint or section. Additionally, many of the cited sources are over a decade old and can be updated.       The sources do range a spectrum of authors; though one platform is used more than once, different authors are cited for each representing a wider viewpoint.
 * There are multiple photos/media included that span the entirety of the article. While they efficiently represent the physical characteristics and environment of sea apples, more images can be included -- such as their defense mechanisms, differing sizes, and predation.
 * Though all included content is relevant, the article is C-Class, meaning it is underdeveloped and can benefit from adding up-to-date sources, more expansive media, and more introductory information. As a mid-importance article in the community, there are people looking for this information to be updated.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Caribbean reef squid


 * Article Evaluation
 * Lead section is somewhat concise and introduced topic clearly. Most information discussed is further expanded upon in later sections, despite the interesting fact of 'flying' squid propulsion. Additionally, more information could be added that is explored further in the article, such as briefly introducing feeding, communication, reproduction, and habitats.
 * The included content is all relevant to the topic without being biased towards one particular subsection. However, being rated 'C-Class', it is understood that this article is underdeveloped and could use more missing information. The tone is neutral and is not biased towards a particular viewpoint or section. Additionally, most of the cited sources are over a decade old and can be updated besides one or two. The sources do range a spectrum of authors.
 * There are multiple photos/media included that span the entirety of the article. While they efficiently represent the physical characteristics and environment of reef squid, more images can be included -- such as propulsion, communication, and reproduction.
 * Though all included content is relevant, the article is C-Class, meaning it is underdeveloped and can benefit from adding up-to-date sources, more expansive media, and more introductory information. As a level-5-vital article in the community, there are people looking for this information to be updated.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Umbrella octopus


 * Article Evaluation
 * Lead section is concise and introduced topic clearly. Content discussed is further expanded upon in subsections. However, more information could be added that is explored further in the article, such as briefly introducing dispersion and behavior.
 * The included content is all relevant to the topic without being biased towards one particular subsection. However, being rated 'C-Class', it is understood that this article is underdeveloped and could use more missing information (communication, reproduction, etc). The tone is neutral and is not biased towards a particular viewpoint or section.
 * Most of the cited sources are over a decade old and can be updated besides one. There are very few sources cited for the included content. However, the sources do range a spectrum of authors.
 * The included photos/media are relevant and education, though there are few. While they efficiently represent the physical structure of the umbrella octopus, more images can be included -- such as behavior, reproduction, physical characteristics, etc.
 * Though all included content is relevant, the article is C-Class, meaning it is underdeveloped and can benefit from adding up-to-date sources, more expansive media and content, and more introductory information. As a level-5-vital article in the community, there are people looking for this information to be updated.
