Option 1

 * Article title: Friendship (music festival)
 * Article Evaluation: This would be a brand new article. The music festival is notable, because it is about to begin its third year and is competitive with similiar music festivals such as Holy Ship! and Electric Forest Festival that each have their own Wikipedia page. It is organized by a well-known DJ and music events executive, Gary Richards, who is also notable within Wikipedia.

Option 2

 * Article title: Manx cats
 * Article Evaluation: The article is currently rated as C-class by both WikiProject Cats and WikiProject Isle of Man. It is also rated as a level-5 vital importance article by Biology/Animals an there is a note encouraging updates if possible. There is an unresolved note about an undeveloped section on the hunting abilities of Manx cats. It looks like there is also a need for a better quality image, and additional images could be added to show the three main rump styles Manx cats may have. Based on some of the comments in the talk page, it seems like there may be temptation for writers to include their own personal experience with Manx cats, so it would be worthwhile to review the article for credibility and verifiability. There is a note from Wikipedia under the "Behavior" section that additional citations are needed for verification.

Option 3

 * Article title: Bicolor Cat
 * Article Evaluation: The article is currently rated as a C-class by WikiProject Cats and is rated mid-importance. I immediately noted grammatical errors and inconsistencies. There are also many citations missing, and there is a Wikipedia note that more citations are needed for verification. There has been minimal action on the Talk page since 2010, and there are some unresolved comments related to excessive image use and the clarity of the article's title. The Lead is very long, and there is inconsitency in coverage of the different types of cat color combinations. For example, Tuxedo cats get their own heading while all other types are lumped together and are covered most heavily in the Lead.

Option 4

 * Article title: Polydactyl Cat
 * Article Evaluation: The article is currently rated as Start class by WikiProject Cats and WikiProjects Veterinary medicine, and both rate it as low-importance. Nearly all of the resources in the "Further Reading" section come from the 1940s-1970s and there are no suggested sources from the 2000s. There has been debate on the Talk page about what images should be used to show adequate representation of the polydactyl variations. The "Genetics" section has been reworked for clarity, but I still find it to be a little difficult to follow as a layperson.
