Option 1

 * Article title: Nanochemistry
 * Article Evaluation:
 * The lead section of the article is quite straightforward. It is concise enough for any reader to grab a rough idea of what Nanoscience is. It leads to the main sections that follow. The contents of the article are mostly related in terms of the applications and researches. However, the first two sections in the main part seem to be abrupt since they are not mentioned at all in the lead section. Their relevance to nanochemistry is doubtful, or at least not well explained. According to some of the citations, not all the contents are up-to-date, many dated from 1990s and 2000s. The article is written in a neutral tone.The main focus on certain topics are somewhat more detailed, but generally unbiased. It does show a variety of perspectives and isn't in favor of one specific idea. The application part is underrepresented to some degree, especially the Catalyst part. The layout of the aritcle is somewhat disordered as the classification under the applications of Nanochemistry are not well organized. And the explanations under certain topics are too brief for readers to further understand. There are no images or media that support the explanation of some ideas, which might makes it harder for readers to understand the ideas.  Many ideas in the article are supported by various citations. But as I mentioned above, many ideas are underrepresented, there is still a lack of citations explaining some topics.  The talk page of this article is rarely used. The messages in the talk page was about the citation of some ideas. It is a part of WikiProject Chemistry. The quality scale is Start-Class and has been rated as Mid-importance on importance scale.  Obviously, this article is underdeveloped and still requires a lot of fillings in terms of the definition, more detailed applications, better catogonization and up-to-date related studies.

Option 2

 * Article title: Environmental chemistry
 * Article Evaluation:
 * The article is relevent to the topic. The lead section has a brief and summative introduction of the topic and it's clear enough for any readers to understand. It has distinguish itself from the potential misunderstanding of other topics.
 * The layout of the main contents, however, are not well organized. There are many types of the contamination that could be further explained. There are many links in the article that directs to other articles that explains the related concepts, but the explanations in this article are not enough. The application parts has some example, but none of them are well explained. This article is obviously underreprestented and requires more related information.
 * The notable chemists are shown without any explanations, which is skeptical of potential biases. Also, there are some cases when the whole paragraph without any citations, which vialates the wiki rules of citation and requires further modification.
 * The talk page of this article has already been lots of discussion of some problems, but generally out of date. This article still needs a lot of improvements.

Option 3

 * Article title: Polymer chemistry
 * Article Evaluation:
 * The article is relevent to the topic. The leading section has a brief introduction of the topic, which is esay for reader to understand. It also introduces the following contents in the main part. The article is written neutrally and many pure facts and history is shown. Most claims follows by citations, but many of them are out of date and some are not reliable. The classification of the topic requires more development.

Option 4

 * Article title: Condensation reaction
 * Article Evaluation:
 * The article is not strongly relevent to the topic. The leading section only touch some parts of the topic and the introduciton and summary clearly doesn't satisfy the basic requirement of a introduction. The article only based on limited resources and the selection of the citations showes some biases. The examples are clearly not enough for general understanding of the topic. The article is written neutrally but still requires more explanation on some topics. The topic doesn't tackle any Wikipedia's equity gaps. Many concepts mentioned also requires more explanations.

Option 5

 * Article title: Wet chemistry
 * Article Evaluation:
 * The article is relevent to the topic and provides a very precise introduction of the topic in the leading section. However, all the examples listed requires more explanations. Many paragraphs shows no ciation and the claims seems to be subjective. The majority of the citations are reliable but many are out of date. It doesn't tackle any equity gaps. The applications of the topic requires a better classification as some of the topics can be combined and some show be explained separately.
