Option 1

 * Article title
 * Zahrah the Windseeker


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is rated stub class and low importance. At first glance, the article seems to be missing quite a bit of information including entire recommended sections. Sections that would be relevant to include would be background, genre, analysis, publication, and reception. The plot summary is a direct quote from the inside cover flap of the hardcover edition of the book and needs to be majorly reworked. The article should also discuss the themes of black issues, which are not currently mentioned. The sources so far seem reliable but need to be expanded upon.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Gonatus onyx


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article has been rated stub class and low importance. Based on the Wikipedia guidelines for writing about a species, this article is missing a description/morphology section, a habitat section (perhaps to be merged with the already existing "range" section), a behavior section (to which the already existing "reproduction" section could become a sub-section), a taxonomy section, and a conservation status section. There is very little information in the article and it is poorly written. The sources seem to be reliable and the links work.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Histioteuthis heteropsis


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is rated stub class and low importance. The only section present is a lead section meaning description/morphology, habitat, behavior, taxonomy, and conservation status sections all have to be added.The article should talk more about the significance of the squid's cock-eye and the photophores on its body, hence its vernacular names. The sources seem to be reliable and the links work.
