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
 * Poikilotherm


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is written neutrally, and has relevant content but more information is needed. More details in the examples provided would help improve this article. There are some sentences that have "citation needed" so there needs to be more reliable sources found and added. Some examples of adaptations lack a citation. Some sources are dated, so more updated sources could offer new findings. The talk page mentions needing clarification on the way ectotherm an Poikilotherm are used in the article. The Talk page also mentions using terms like "organism" which can be vague.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Aquatic Respiration


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is written from a neutral perspective but needs some more information. There is no reference section which should be added. Many claims lack citations in the article. For example more information on subjects could be added to the section "unicellular and simple small organisms", where it just has a brief overview. Details on a few more of "simple small organisms" such as bacteria could provide useful information to readers. The articles Talk page mentions the improper citation use of the article and that it could use some rewording and reorganizing.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Anaerobic Organism


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article seems to be written neutrally. "clarification need" as a citation, so more work and sources are needed for the article. Not all claims have citations. The talk page hasn't been used recently (since 2008). This article has many sources that have active links, I think more information can be pulled from them to complete the article.


 * Sources
 * Many useful sources in the article that can be utilized to pull more information from.
