Option 1

 * Article title
 * Hyperparathyroidism


 * Article Evaluation
 * The content of the article is written neutrally with correct citations and is reliable and written neutrally. The citations, although reliable, are not extremely current, and the article as a whole is not written very clearly. It is difficult to correctly distinguish between the types of hyperparathyroidism, and the classification, which by all rights would make more sense at the beginning of the article similar to how its structured in the lead, is at the end of the article. Many of the treatment methods are not very detailed.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Secondary Hyperparathyroidism


 * Article Evaluation
 * The lead is very short, which is good because that means it is concise, however it also is lacking in information other than a basic description of the disease. All of the other sections are lacking in detailed information, and with only two sources, there is a serious lack in major necessary content. There are no images, and the way it is written seems very brief and unfriendly to read.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Pediatric Endocrinology


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is not at all fleshed out, and has very little organization. As a whole it lacks citations, and it is difficult to read. The lead takes up the whole article, and there are no pictures or diagrams of any kind. The references are all over seven years old. This would be a good article to work on, it would be easy to link it to a lot of other wikipedia pages, and it is something that is important for people who are interested in the topic to be able to read about.
