Option 1
Acromegaly


 * Article Evaluation
 * Many more citations are needed to make this page more acceptable. Most of the article, other than the lead paragraph, does not have citations. Sentence structure is short and could be made to flow better. Organization is fairly good. Cites the Merriam-Webster Dictionary??? Sources are pretty much up to date.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Levothyroxine


 * Article Evaluation
 * Article has all of the parts needed, but is poorly organized and written. Some of the categories in the outline do not appear to have enough information to warrant the category ('elderly' section that essentially reiterates the heart problem warning; 'history' and 'economics' easily could flow together). Cites articles with sample sizes of 10 or less.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Goiter


 * Article Evaluation
 * Much of desired information is present, though lacking citations. Some of the categories do not present important information (Heraldry). The lead paragraph does not relay a ton of information. Diagnosis section has a single sentence. Pictures are not necessarily helpful. Same source listed three times in bibliography with slightly differing page numbers. No mention of toxic vs nontoxic goiter.
