Option 1

 * Article title: Cyanea (jellyfish)
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article could use more information all throughout the article. The article consists of two paragraphs explaining the genus of this jellyfish and where it's from and found. Additionally, the article talks about the taxonomy of cyanea species. The article has room to go into more in-depth about this topic. The article does have a variety of citations and sources listed which is a great addition. They used sources such as the library of the University of British Colombia and the University of Guelph and many more. Some of the sources are not direct links, I may just be viewing it wrong, but I think that makes it a bit more difficult for the reader to access the sources directly. There is a labeled image that is great for this topic and related to the material. Overall, I think this assignment could use more information on the topic and I think it would be a good option to be able to add more information.

Option 2

 * Article title: Blue jellyfish
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article could use some more information throughout the article. I liked how this article has a wider range of titles compared to the previous article I listed as option 1. This article has the following titles: description, distribution, taxonomy, and life cycle. Additionally, this article has over 7 sources with links provided for the readers to directly access them under the references section. An example of a great source this article uses is a textbook called Journal of Plankton Research, and there's a long paper that I believe to be a peer-reviewed article that wasn't written too long ago. Although this article has more titles listed, there isn't as much information listed beneath them. I think this article has room to grow and I could add to the information provided. The images in this article are great, there are multiple, and not only are related to the topic but also labeled properly.

Option 3

 * Article title: Crown jellyfish
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article could use a lot more information throughout the article. This article has the least amount of information about its species compared to the other articles I listed. This article lists 4 sources cited which is a good start for an article. It has a title that lists families with sources attached and has some sentences that talk about the species. One thing I did notice about this source is that only 1 of the articles listed is in the color red, while the rest are blue which is a good sign that there are more working articles than not. I think this article could use more information on the topic and I think that by reviewing more resources it'll help expand the topic. The image in this article is related to the topic and labeled properly.

Option 4

 * Article title: Lion's mane jellyfish
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article already holds a lot more strong information about this topic compared to the amount of information in the other articles on those topics. I am genuinely interested in this species and the wiki rating said it had room for improvement so I clicked on this article. This article had many titles with each followed by a good-sized paragraph(s). Additionally, there were over 20 references to back up their information all throughout the article, with none of them appearing to be in the color red. The picture is also labeled and related to the topic. I think this article would be a little more difficult to add information to since it's already very strong, but I think after doing more research it would be easier to find room for improvement and additions to the information present.
