Option 1

 * Article title: Amenorrhea
 * Article Evaluation
 * The Lead is concise, yet informative of what amenorrhea is and acts as a sufficient preview of what is to come in the article. All content is relevant to the topic and is presented in a matter-of-fact, neutral manner. The "Etymology" section could be incorporated into the "History" section which could be further developed as well. Likewise, the "Classification" and "Diagnosis" section could be combined. While the article could be improved with minor edits, it is a well-developed piece.

Option 2

 * Article title: Estrogen patch
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is very small, the Lead is the longest section. It has a lot of potential and room to expand. The sections and content that are currently presented is all relevant to the topic, but there could be more sections and the content could be further developed. Information regarding who needs/uses estrogen patches and what are the effects/side effects of this treatment are two obvious sections missing from this article. The talk page, like the article itself, is small and the last edits were made in August, 2019.

Option 3

 * Article title: Osteopenia
 * Article Evaluation
 * This is another small article. The Lead sufficiently describes what osteopenia is and what the rest of the article includes. More could be discussed about the relationship between osteopenia and osteoporosis. Also, more could be discussed about the risks and effects. What happens to individuals with osteopenia if left untreated? The "History" section seems to stop presenting information after 1992; it appears unfinished. There has been debate over the definition of osteopenia in the talk page. Overall, what is in the article is presented well, but could be further expanded and developed.
