Option 1

 * Walnut
 * Article Evaluation
 * -It's a vital, B-Class article. It checks off the important criteria.
 * -I plan on including more of the health effects of Walnuts. Shockingly, that portion of the article is lacking. Walnuts have been found to have profound effects on cardiovascular health.
 * -I further plan on adding to the non-food uses section of the article. Walnut is used in many skincare products as a controversial exfoliant, because it is said to cause Couperoseskin (Oop, look, another potential article)
 * Sources
 * Just a start but, wow, PubMed is the place to go for studies on the health effects of walnuts:
 * Katz DL, Davidhi A, Ma Y, Kavak Y, Bifulco L, Njike VY. Effects of walnuts on endothelial function in overweight adults with visceral obesity a randomized, controlled, crossover trial. J Am Coll Nutr. 2012 Dec;31(6):415-23. doi: 10.1080/07315724.2012.10720468. PMID: 23756586; PMCID: PMC3756625.
 * Orem A, Yucesan FB, Orem C, Akcan B, Kural BV, Alasalvar C, Shahidi F. Hazelnut-enriched diet improves cardiovascular risk biomarkers beyond a lipid-lowering effect in hypercholesterolemic subjects. J Clin Lipidol. 2013 Mar-Apr;7(2) 123-31. doi: 10.1016/j.jacl.2012.10.005. Epub 2012 Oct 26. PMID: 23415431.
 * Some juicy info about the Kylie Skin scandal of May, 2019, which targets Walnuts as a dangerous, inflammatory ingredient when used in skincare

Option 2

 * Early-onset Alzheimer's disease
 * Article Evaluation
 * -yes, content relevant
 * -neutral
 * -so many citations
 * -lots of info, but many criticisms on the talk page
 * Sources
 * -Many potential RECENT studies to sift through... However, this many be a challenge because I have zero education in neurology
 * Dai, M. H., Zheng, H., Zeng, L. D., & Zhang, Y. (2017). The genes associated with early-onset Alzheimer's disease. Oncotarget, 9(19), 15132–15143. https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.23738 (This study offers some context for new researchers to the topic as well *thumb up*)
