Option 1

 * Article title:Vaginal Anomalities
 * Article Evaluation:This is a very well written article. It is very easy to follow and has a very nice structure. I has many citations to support the claims that are brought up. However, some sources are older, but there are a couple that are more recent. I believe it does cover one of Wikipedia's equity gaps because I don't think many people cover/talk about this topic very often.
 * Sources:The following are a few of the reliable sources that they used in this article.

Option 2

 * Article title:Prenatal Testing
 * Article Evaluation:This article is very well organized and it is comprehensive. It gives a general knowledge in the beginning and later on goes in depth about the purpose, different types of testing, pregnancy stages, and more. it is very informative and it also covers one of the Wikipedia's equity gaps. I believe this is one of those topics that you kind of have to learn by yourself and sometimes get guided through with your doctor. Their citations are well, however a downside would be that a lot of the sources are outdated.

Option 3

 * Article title:Sternum
 * Article Evaluation:This is a good structured article and although it uses medical terms, context clues and pictures help clarify it pretty easily. I like how it talks about every single part that makes the sternum as well as the significance of it. it has many citations, but just like the other articles, the sources are outdated. Overall, it is a very well written informational article.

Option 4

 * Article title:Stafne Defect
 * Article Evaluation:This is a very clear and easy to read source. It had an overview of what the article is about and it goes into detail about the symptoms, causes, diagnosis, treatment, etc. which I think is very helpful. Although, I don't necessarily think someone would read about this unless they somehow stumbled upon it, it is very informational and unbiased. Unlike the rest of the articles, this one has many reliable sources.
