Option 1

 * Article title: Exotic Pet
 * Article Evaluation:
 * Overall this article had a good overview and very basic info on exotic pets but noting exactly went into depth. For example, the section for how exotic pets impact the environment only had a few sentences that were uncited. The majority of the article focuses on examples of exotic pets while neglecting other important info surrounding the trade and impact.

Option 2

 * Article title: Exotic Felids as pets
 * Article Evaluation
 * There is very little to this article. The is one sentence in the overview and only a few subsections that mainly focuses on defining exotic cats. There are a lot of uncited information as well. Overall, it is a very undeveloped article with a lot of potential.

Option 3

 * Article title: Goldfish
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article has a great amount of info on goldfish, yet lacks the environmental impact of goldfish. It is mentioned in summary, but after looking through the article a sub section or any other info was not found. This is a crucial subsection, considering goldfish are either on a watch list for multiple invasive species organizations or are considered an invasive species.

Option 4

 * Article title: International parrot trade
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article had some great insight on the parrot trade in Mexico, as well as some great data graphs to support its information, but overall it felt as if the article was lacking information. There was a main focus on trade in Mexico, but this article is titled "international parrot trade" so therefore I feel it should have more info on the trade in other countries too.

Option 5

 * Article title: Ouvea parakeet
 * Article Evaluation
 * Overall this article is very short but give adequate information to educate someone about the species. It covers all of the basics such as description, diet, reproduction and status. It would be a great article for someone to start understanding the species, but it lacks depth on the species for someone wanting a large knowledge on the bird. Though this may not be the fault of the editors; they only cite a small amount of articles compared to others and while looking for sources I could find very little.
