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

 * Biomarker
 * The article contains a lot of good information about biomarkers and their various uses within different scientific fields. The organization of the article is not very coherent (the history and definition are at the bottom of the article), and I notice some gaps in the environmental section of the article and some of the other sections just have generalizations instead of specific details. Many citations are missing.

Option 2

 * Surface Runoff
 * This article contains many beneficial sections that provide a comprehensive explanation of surface runoff. Some sections are written with lots of information but not enough citations. There is a lack of information on the extent of water pollution as an effect of surface runoff. I would like to add more information about this. Overall, the article is written without bias, but it does tend to focus more on the negative impacts of surface runoff.

Option 3

 * Benthos
 * Many sources are absent. In the "food sources" section, the article explains what kind of food is consumed by benthos, but it does not explain how food is obtained--if it's hunted, gathered, filtered, etc. I would like to add to this gap. There is also a gap in the information about how benthos evolved/their ancestral background. I like how the author(s) of this article have separated the sections by size and type of organism; however, more information is needed.

Option 4

 * Riparian Zone
 * This article provides a broad explanation of riparian zones. I would like to see more information about its ecological role: how does it impact benthic macro-invertebrates and contamination by surface runoff? The article is written with an unbiased voice.

Option 5

 * Nutrient Pollution
 * This article gives a thorough description of the sources of nutrient pollution into water. The article has a section about the impacts of nutrient pollution, but it does not have very much information about the environmental impacts, which seems like the most important aspect to me, is not written in prose, and definitely could be improved. There are many good sources within this article.
