Option 1

 * Article title
 * Gas Chromatography


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article pop's up with a banner stating more citations are needed. Considering the article is quite lengthy, this could be a good project. The article is laid out rather well, and the sections are relevant to the topic. The only section that I think could be removed is Popular culture as it seems a bit unnecessary for this article. The things explained in this section are in reference to how GC is misrepresented on TV for how much time it takes to run a GC. I think that could be explained away in a different section rather than dedicating a whole section to how incorrect TV is. There are only 16 sources for this article which is fairly long. I think there needs to be a lot more research done to improve the article and a lot of editing of sections.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * 1,8-Diazafluoren-9-one


 * Article Evaluation
 * Not very much in the article at all. There is a lot of room for improvement. It would pretty much be like writing a new article myself due to the limited information. There is only one section, the introduction, and it is not very informative or well written. The article is considered a stub article.


 * Sources
 * Scifinder

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Carbapenem


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is well structured and has a good outline so far. The information already present could be flushed out further and some sections, specifically adverse reactions, could be removed as it is a limited list of the adverse reactions. The only image is of the 2D form of the carbapenem structure, however any other images would likely not be beneficial to the page.


 * Sources
 * PubChem
 * SciFinder

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Acetone


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article has a significant amount of information to build off of. The introduction has several sentences that should be cited or removed if citation is not possible. The rest of the article also has a significant amount of sentences that need citation or removal. The ChemBox is completed and looks to be correct with an accurate depiction of acetone. The article includes several images of the structure of acetone, and a glass jar of what we assume is acetone. I think it would be acceptable to leave the image even if it is not acetone, as it is a good depiction of what acetone actually looks like.

 * PubChem
 * SciFinder

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Apixaban


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article contains some good information, however it seems to be thrown together and not well thought out. The information could be reorganized and further explained to create a better page. The ChemBox seems to be incomplete, however it may be difficult to find the information that goes in the ChemBox published in secondary sources. The article uses short hand called sig code that may not be common knowledge to people looking at the wikipage. Because I have this knowledge I would be able to expand the sig codes into written words that are easily interpreted by those reading the article, likely to be older people as this is a drug used for blood clots and DVT. The sources for the articles are somewhat good ones, but there is a section of the talk page that indicates a Johnson and Johnson employee posted on the page. This could be a conflict of interest, however if the information is correct and relevant it would be acceptable to leave it.
