Article Selection
Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

 * Article title: Biological Process
 * Link: Biological process
 * Article Evaluation: It has a few bullet points such as homeostasis and metabolism with one sentence descriptions. Each bullet point could definitely be fleshed out more.
 * Sources: I could use the pdf readings I read for the lectures and also the textbook.

Option 2

 * Article title: Genetic Variation
 * Link: Genetic variation
 * Article Evaluation: The article briefly discusses genetic variation within a population and for an individual. I could add how genetic variation is essential for evolution by natural selection. In addition, I could add to the section on how it is measured and add another section with examples of genetic variation and its effects.
 * Sources: Again, I could use the pdf readings I read for the lectures, the textbook, and other scholarly sources that I find on the internet.

Option 3

 * Article title: Symbiosis
 * Link: Symbiosis
 * Article Evaluation: The article has good categories including mutualism, parasitism, commensalism, etc. However, I believe that each category could dive deeper into the topic and add more citations. In addition, I noticed a few errors in punctuation.
 * Sources: I could use the pdf readings I read for the lectures, the textbook, and other scholarly sources that I find on the internet.

Option 4

 * Article title: Marine Biology
 * Link: Marine biology
 * Article Evaluation: Marine biology is such a broad topic that I believe this article would benefit from having more subheadings. In addition, I would definitely add more information under the titles estuaries, near-shore, and reefs. I would also add what tools are used in marine science to measure certain things.
 * Sources: I personally am very knowledgeable about this topic but I would find scholarly sources online that will support the information that I add.

Option 5

 * Article title: Biochemist
 * Link: Biochemist
 * Article Evaluation: I think this article would benefit from the addition of a section titled analyses which would include some of the chemical analyses that biochemists run and their importance to the progression of research.
 * Sources: My own knowledge supplemented by online sources, job descriptions, qualifications, and other information that I either find in the library or online.
