Option 1

 * Article title
 * Firefly Squid


 * Article Evaluation
 * Article is missing some major sections that other organisms typically have like Habitat, Range, Behavior, etc. There are some very specific details added about it such as "Bioluminescence" and "Mating", but not much else that you would expect to see. There are a large number of references listed, but the most recent one is from 2016. It is considered a Start-Class of High-importance by WikiProjects Cephalopods.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Equatorial Dog Faced Bat


 * Article Evaluation
 * Article could be expanded upon, and is identified as a Start-Class, High-Importance article by WikiProjects Mammals/Bats. Only two references listed and they're 100 years apart from one another in age. It also lacks images.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Humboldt's flying squirrel


 * Article Evaluation
 * Article represents a good start, but could be organized a little better. All of the information about its diet and behavior are found within the lead. Also no information on their current endangered status is not present. It is rated as a High-importance Start-Class article by a number of WikiProject groups including WikiProjects Rodents.
