Option 1

 * Article title
 * Lung (Chinese medicine)


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article does present all of the material neutrally with no bias. Not everything included has a citation, primarily when listing the five functions of the lung there is no source and some of the claims in dominating qi do not have sources. The citations are reliable, but I do wish there were more. There is lots of room to fill out this article such as writing on one of the functions of the lung in TCM that was not covered in depth in the article. It could also benefit from a larger introduction section. Also nothing has been said on the talk page for this article.

 * Fruehauf, Heiner, "Fei: An Etymological Analysis of the Pictogram for ‘Lung'", Classical Chinese Medicine, https://classicalchinesemedicine.org/fei-etymological-analysis-lung/. Accessed 16 Oct. 2022.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Large intestine (Chinese medicine)


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is short, but contains releveant information and presents that information with no bias. There could be more information about the diseases it lists for the large intestine as well as how the organ interacts with other organs. There are three credible sources used for this article, but more could be used to strengthen their claims. The talk page has not been active since 2014 and the last message is about possible including information on the enteric nervous system.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Liu Wei Di Huang Wan


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article contains information about Liu Wei Di Huang Wan and presents it in a neutral tone with no unnecessary information. There are three sources used in this article with two of them being journal articles. However not every claim has a citation associated with it. It presents the derivatives of Liu Wei Di Huang Wan, but not the chemical formulas or potential side effects of the medication. There is a section that lists the Japanese Kampo formula of Liu Wei Di Huang Wan in a table, but there is no description of the table or information on potential differences from the previously discussed Chinese formulation. The talk page for this article was last active in 2017 when someone modified the external links section.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Eight principles


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article presents all of the information neutrally, but it is in need of more information. For example it lists the four types of empty but then does not give a description or provide any further information on these types. The yin and yang section is particularly short, only one sentance, and there is only one source used for the entire article, a textbook. It does need more sources for the few claims it makes. There has been no new messages on the talk page since 2016, and there is only one which say it added the singular source. This article could also benefit from a more fleshed out introduction section considering it's introduction is one sentance and then a list of the principles.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Chenpi


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article provides multiple uses for Chenpi including food preparation and uses for tradition Chinese medicine. There are thirteen credible articles used as refrences in this article and all of the information presented has no bias. The last time the talk page was active was in 2020 when someone removed information about traditional Chinese medicine from the medicine section of the article since it was not proven. There is a citation needed in the medicine section under the precautions claim.
