Option 1

 * Article title
 * Endotherm


 * Article Evaluation
 * The introductory paragraph provides a good overview of the subject matter of the article. The content of the article is very much relevant to the topic/ subject matter, all information presented in the article are pertinent to the understanding topic, however I believe a less broad/ general approach to the article would benefit the article content. Written from a neutral and objective standpoint, the article does not in anyway try to favour particular pieces of information over another, it objectively explains the function of each processes involved in endothermy.
 * Sources are cited (except for one that I found) for the claims made in the article and all studies used as references are cited. However, in the last section "Contrast between thermodynamic and biological terminology", no reference/citation is provided for the claim made. The citations provided for the article are comprehensive educational resources, the articles cited are peer reviewed artices and so I think it is safe to say the citations are reliable.
 * The article is properly structured and paragraph is used apprioprately, with each paragraph highlighting or ushering in a salient point that connects the rest of the article, the paragraphs do not disconnect from each other but rather flow well into each other. More visual aid could have been used, two graphs were provided to butress some points but more graphs, pictures could have definitely provided better insight for the article readers, visually appealing and relevant images could be used to help the reader keep interest in the article.
 * The talk page of the article doesn't have much discussions going on and the author does not seem to have made any improvements from the few points brought up in the talk page. Overall, the article could be improved by approaching with more comprehensive and extensive details and examples of the subject matter being discussed, I noticed the topic was explained with no comprehensive examples of the organisms it applies to.
 * I included sources to help improve the article.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Thermoregulation in humans


 * Article Evaluation
 * The first paragraph of the article provides brief information on the topic however not enough details were given to the subject matter of the article, I couldn't fully decipher the direction the article will be going. However, all information provided is relevant to the topic and subject matter of the article and presented in a neutral and unbiased manner.
 * Citations were provided throughout the article, some infomation presented in the article are however not backed up by any citation or reference and so the reliability of the information provided is not solidified.
 * Very well structured article, salient/ new points are introduced with bullet points or new paragraphs, subtitles are well used and positioned to assign relevant information with their corresponding subject matter. Few visual images were used, this aligns with the content of the article; the article is short and doesn't have so much information, hence few visual aids.
 * The talk page is scanty, with only one discussion in there. The article is a well written article but does not have a lot of educational information, it is good for general knowledge of the topic but does not provide in-depth information of the topic.
