Option 1

 * Article title
 * Wolf Reintroduction


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article was overall pretty good. The information that was included was written properly and supplied good sources. However, I believe that there is a big gap in information around how and why wolves went locally extinct in the first place. The authors make note that they have been locally removed but no more information is presented beyond that. I believe providing background would better contextualize the article and enable readers to better understand why reintroduction is occurring.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Fungi Conservation


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article provided no substantial information and instead made one citation stating that fungi should be conserved and listed some common threats. With just an introduction, this article needs to be completely rewritten as what is currently written now sounds biased. Beyond this, the scope of fungi conservation should be implemented to give background into work that is currently being done and how our understanding of fungi is still greatly lagging behind other taxonomic groups. From here, specific examples should be included to outline what is being done already and outline its impact.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Poa pratensis


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article does a good job giving basic information on Poa pratensis. One major issue with it is that it lacks a more in-depth historical context as to how Poa pratensis got to be so popular in America and around the world. Beyond this, the article is also lacking information on it being an invasive species and its impact on indigenous plants.
