Option 1

 * Article title
 * Banana slug
 * Article Evaluation
 * - Seems to be a decently informed page with a few gaps in information
 * - More information on their slime can maybe be explored (section is less dense than other sections)
 * - The culture section seems cool, maybe to be expanded on?
 * - Can expand upon ecology section as well, though there is a good base for it
 * - No description for Southern Pacific Banana Slug

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Marasmiellus candidus:
 * Article Evaluation
 * - No article exists for this organism
 * - Article for Marasmiellus is pretty robust, but Marasmiellus candidus is linked with no content
 * - Thought this organism in particular was interesting looking, so wanted to investigate it/make a page for it:

 * Mushroom Expert: https://www.mushroomexpert.com/marasmiellus_candidus.html
 * **Not a ton of sources on this (even scholarly articles), so probably not ideal

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Salt marsh harvest mouse:
 * Article Evaluation
 * - Page has information, but does not seem to talk about its behaviors very much
 * - Better option than Article 2 because it is missing information, but it has a foundation
 * - Seems to be focused on mostly how this organism compares to other species/more niche information, but needs to expand on general information:
