Option 1

 * Stem cell law and policy in the United States
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article does not have an adequate lead section. This needs to be subject to review and edit to offer a summery of the main points of the article. Some grammatical aspects of the work may need to be edited. Otherwise, the article maintains a rather neutral tone. Not all citations are reliable, as many are archived or are not from scholarly journals. All content is relevant to the article. The article may need updates to current laws or propositions (Prop 14).

Option 2

 * Genetic Policy in the US
 * Article Evaluation
 * Some words in the article can be linked to other Wiki articles, such as "metabolite" in the introduction. Good introduction, provides the basis of the argument. The Federal Law section describes federal policies that protect employees from being discriminated against in the workplace based on genetic testing.The article only has two subsections, of which can be expanded upon. The states section, for example, may expand upon specific states and their laws pertaining to genetic testing. There can also be far more references included. The articles maintains a neutral tone. Each paragraph has a citation. Citation #4 does not seem reliable, while the other sources implement many government websites.The article does not mention underrepresented groups.

Option 3

 * Stem-Cell Line
 * Article Evaluation
 * This is a stub article. The article makes great use of subsections to maintain organization. In the United States section, the articles does not make present the distinction between state and federal laws governing stem cell line laws. A major red flag is that the "uses" section does not have any citations. These underdevloped sections have minimal sentences, other sections also not possessing citations

Option 4

 * Genetically Modified Mouse
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article has great articulation and provides a neutral tone. All content is relevant to the topic, thought the length of the entire article is short. This can be expanded upon by mentioning more historical landmarks in the development of genetic engineering in mice. A timeline may also be developed of such landmarks. The article fails to delve into the topic of Oncomouse as part of the background section. The article also does not mention patenting laws of genetic engineering or animal experimentation laws. Thus, it does not mark the underrepresented subjects. All of the current citations are of reputable sources.
