Option 1

 * Article title
 * Jaco Pastorius


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article's information for the most part is relevant to the topic, but occasionally has some sections that are not very relevant. This article is definitely written neutrally and doesn't have any significant bias. In this article, any new information is followed by a citation. Some of the citations are just articles on the internet so they seem like they may not be up to standard when it comes to reliability. The article does not tackle the equity gaps. In the talk page, it is pretty brief and they are just discussing


 * Sources

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Legal status of psilocybin mushrooms


 * Article Evaluation
 * For this article, all of the content is relevant to the topic. It is written neutrally and doesn't have any bias towards a side. This article does not have citations for every claim, and it seems that not most of the information is backed up by citations. This is also shown where there is a disclaimer that states that the article may not be reliable. For the most part the sources that are seem to be pretty good, but some of the are of news articles and those make me suspect that they may not be the best. The talk page of this article mainly consists of the people on the page just debating about the legality of psilocybin regarding certain individual nations.
