Lee, D. The influence of cuttlebone on the target strength of live golden cuttlefish (Sepia esculenta) at 70 and 120 kHz. Fish Aquatic Sci 19, 8 (2016). https://doi-org.wv-o-ursus-proxy02.ursus.maine.edu/10.1186/s41240-016-0010-3.
 * Article title:Cuttlebone
 * Article Evaluation:In the lead section information is clear and concise introducing the topic of the article immediately showing the reader what is being discussed. Some information present in this section is later discussed in other sections of the article further explaining the topic. However more information can be added to help the lead section cover other information that is discussed in other sections, such as adding in how these cuttlebones are acquired. ::The content of the article is relevant to the topic stating facts that help describe what a cuttlebone is and the features presented. Although, this article is considered to be rated as "C-Class", meaning that the article is underdeveloped and is missing information to help further support the topic. There seems to be a neutral tone when reading the article as it dose not push a certain view about what a cuttlebone does rather is simply shows what is know about the cuttlebone. Furthermore, many sources that are used are up to date with most of them being less than a decade old, as well as span from multiple different authors.::Many photos, drawing, and videos are used to help illustrate what is being discussed spanning the entire article. Many of these depict what a cuttlebone looks like from a far and from a higher magnificent, however more pictures could be added in which depict the human use of cuttle bones such as in jewelry. ::Even though this article does a good job of introducing the topic of the cuttlebone and depicting its use it is still considered a "C-Class" article meaning it can benefit from further development in each section along with more usage of media to help illustrate the topic to the reader. Also being of mid-importance, the community is looking for more information to be added to this article.

Option 2

 * Article title:Giant cuttlefish
 * Article Evaluation:In the lead section the information is concise introducing what a giant cuttlefish is certain features is has and where its geographic range is. However, it lacks information that introduces the many content sections making it so one does not really know what is going to be discussed until they get to later sections. When compared to the content of this article the lead section is rather short and can use more information to help explain to the reader the purpose of this article. ::The content of this article is relevant to the topic as is goes in depth about many features of the giant cuttlefishes' lifecycle, reproduction, physiology, and biochemistry. With this it gives the reader a good understanding of what is being discussed and provides a lot of background information about the topic. The tone of this article seems to stay neutral through out each section as it does not push a particle view about the fishing and conservation of giant cuttlefish. Furthermore, an extensive amount of sources were used with some sources being as relevant as this year. It is to be noted that this article is considered as "C-Class" meaning that it is considered to be underdeveloped and could use more information to help support the topic at hand. :Many photo, charts, videos, and illustrations are used to help represent the topic and support information that is being discussed in each section. Many of these video and photos allow the reader to get a visual as well as understand unique features these cephalopods have such as changing color. However, more photos could be added such as depicting the life stages of these cephalopods. ::This article could use some more information in the lead section of the article, however, the content of this article seems to go rather in depth about the topic, discussing many important factors about the giant cuttlefish and its life. Although, with this article being considered as "C-Class" and of mid-importance by the community it could use some more information in both the lead and content sections.

Option 3

 * Article title:Blue-lined octopus
 * Article Evaluation:The lead section of this article is very clear and concise stating what a blue-lined octopus is and the many important features about it. Ultimately this seems to be the best section of the article as it has the most information in which directly corelates to what is mentioned in each section of the content. ::The content of this article is relevant to the topic and discusses many important features about the blue-lined octopus. However, many sections seem to be very short lacking a lot of background information, not going into depth about the topic at hand. Furthermore, many more sections are needed to properly depict and explain the species at hand such as adding a section about it's lifecycle or about how to distinguish it from similar species. Ultimately this section is lacking a lot of vital information. Sources are used to help support what is being discussed and are up to date only being one to three years old.  ::Only one photo is used in this article in which depicts what the blue-lined octopus looks like. More illustrations/videos could be added to help give the reader a better understanding for how this cephalopod looks and acts as well as to help point out distinguishing features of this species such as its intense blue lines or rather small size. ::This article starts of strong with a concise lead section which adequately describes the blue-lined octopus as well as what is going to be presented in the content of the article. However, the content of this article is lacking a lot of information that would help further explain and depict the topic in which many more sections are needed. Along with this more sources could be used to help support the information being discussed.
