Option 1

 * Article title
 * Whale shark


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article about whale sharks is a well written and thought out article that goes into depth about whales sharks. These writers go into depth about the size, growth, reproduction, habitat, and diet of this animal. While I find this animal very interesting and something that I would find enjoyment in looking into more. I think looking at the conservation section of tis article it it very well researched and very in depth. That it gives a lot of information about the conservation efforts. It is broken up into conservation status, in captivity, and human culture gives a well rounded look at what it going on with this animal through the lens of conservation efforts. I would probably not pick this as my Wikipedia article for my project since there is nothing in my mind I feel that I could add that isn't already stated in this article.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Grey nurse shark conservation


 * Article Evaluation
 * When I was reading this article about the grey nurse sharks I noticed that it was not as in depth and informationally dense as other articles have been. There is only a few sentences that go into what the current status of these animals. There is a decent amount of information that goes into the conservation efforts and why this decline in there population happened or started. As I read this article I would say that I am able to contribute more information to this article in the current status section and conservation efforts section.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Sirenia


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article written about sirenia also known as sea cows is a very in-depth article that convers a lot of different aspects that pertain to this animal. The information covered in this article includes the animals Taxonomy, Evolution, Description, Diet, Reproduction, Captivity, Threats and Conservation. These topics are well researched and have well rounded and supported by a wide range of outside sources that make me think that there would not be much that I would be able to add this article.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Yellow-eyed penguin


 * Article Evaluation
 * In this article about the yellow-eyed penguin has good information in it and covers many different topics about these animals. It would nice to be able to add more information certain sections of the article. I would say that I could add information to the conservation section, disease and tourism section of the article. I would look at other credible site that have valid and reputable information about these topics and contribute to the work that was already started.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Green sea turtle


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article that is giving information about green sea turtles I would say has more than enough information that it would be hard for me to add anything more to this article. Since it is so informationally dense with a wide span of topics that the writers gave information about I am unsure that I could say things that would not be repetitive and redundant. Because the writers when so in depth into conservation efforts as well I also think that it is a fully well rounded article that would be hard for me to add to.
