Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

 * Article title
 * Cytotaxonomy


 * Article Evaluation
 * decent overview, but missing context. changes would include
 * - find a source mentioning its prevalence in plant evolution (although it has also been used in fish and other organisms, most papers i'm finding are regarding plant evolution)
 * - expand on related topics: taxonomy, chromosomal databases, cytology, cytogenetics


 * Sources
 * SYMPOSIUM ON CYTO-TAXONOMY, Proceedings Linnean Society London, Volume 169, Issue 1-2, April 1958, Pages 110–134, https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1095-8312.1958.tb00816.x
 * ^ this source looks really promising regarding history of cytotaxonomy but is hidden behind a paywall?
 * Lorenzo Peruzzi & Gianni Bedini (2014) Online resources for chromosome number databases, Caryologia, 67:4, 292-295, DOI: 10.1080/0144235X.2014.974358
 * ^paper itself or papers in the sources list could be useful for finding commonly used databases
 * ^paper itself or papers in the sources list could be useful for finding commonly used databases

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Indel


 * Article Evaluation
 * Page seems out of date and several claims are not cited. It comes off as if the term were new and still uncommon when in reality the term is quite widespread and has a bit more to it than just "insertion/deletions". Page should probably go into gene sequencing and indel detection a bit more than it does here as well.


 * Sources
 * https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/B9780128173442000022 <- chapter from a recent (2020) book
 * https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/B9780124047488000095 <- less recent, a bit more in depth though? I think?
 * ^^ will have to go more in depth into these obviously

more possible sources:

https://bmcgenomics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12864-018-4671-4 <- indel detection w/regard to dna and rna-seq

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5570956/ <- possible example? paper about human indels

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Metascape


 * Article Evaluation
 * honestly the writing is good it's just that some parts lose objectivity and sound a bit like an ad. (this is mostly aimed at the history section)


 * Sources

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Oxford Nanopore Technology


 * Article Evaluation
 * article has a good start but dubious sources and goes too deep into the products the company offers, making it sound like an ad (it also has been flagged as sounding "promotional"). work would include removing dead source links, finding sources for missing citations (and deleting claims if no sources are found), cutting down on the "products" section (maybe even turning it into a "services" or "objectives" section), and reviewing citations (there's quite a bit of Twitter and assorted promotional content/advertising cited in general claims about their technology). the page should probably also mention competitors and sequencing as a whole as well.
