Option 1

 * Article title
 * Catch Crop


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article's content is relevant to the topic by describing the topic and a few of its reasons for usage. What is presented in the article does have a neutral tone of presenting the information. Each claim that was made, some are missing or need additional citation for verification. The only citation that was given was from a scientific book that is written by multiple authors. In which it does support the claim that was made and is a fairly recent source. But was published in 1970 so it can seem a bit outdated but can be considered reliable. But it would be better if another recent source could take its place. As is, the article does seem to tackle one of Wikipedia’s equity gaps in regards to coverage of a certain crop in agriculture. But I will say that it can be better for a better detailed coverage. The article’s talk page is very inactive. There really isn’t anything revolving around working on the article. The last time this article was edited was back in December 2013. What I think of doing in this article is to create sections to be able to incorporate a Lead Section since it is non existence and reorganization from what is already present. Possible sections in mind are; types of catch crops, advantage & disadvantages, Process of catch crops.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Subirrigation


 * Article Evaluation
 * What is provided in the article is relevant to the focused topic. The article itself does have a neutral tone with the information provided. A flaw in this article is that it provides multiple claims but only cites one claim. The citation is not reliable due to the abstract never mentions sub-irrigation and is not accessible to view without a membership to check if there is any correlation to the claim that was made. The article does seem to tackle one of Wikipedia’s equity gaps in regards to coverage of a certain (subject) irrigation practice/ technique in agriculture either in outdoor or greenhouse. The most recent message that was done was back in January of 2009. With a debate of subirrigation being more connecting/referring to a greenhouse irrigation system more than an outdoor crop technique. There hasn't been any contribution other than having a revision from the “Talk” section of the article. Some ideas that I have in mind for this article is to apply additional citations for claims that have been made but don't have any. As well create sections since it does not have any type of layout or organization.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Aurora Golden Gala


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article's contents are relevant to the topic. With the information provided the writing does have a neutral tone. For the majority of the claims it does follow with a citation but there is one that a citation is needed. One of the citations has a dead end with a number error popping up which is not a reliable source. The other citation is reliable since the source is a book created by multiple authors and the book does back up the claim. The article does seem to tackle one of Wikipedia’s equity gaps in regards to coverage of a type of cultivar of apple although it just provides general information. There is no discussion in the Talk page. But the most recent that someone worked on this article was in May 2022. Some possible ideas that I have for this article, is to create sections more detailed of the creation of the cultivar, preferred conditions, and possible diseases.
