Comments from Kevin: The gumboot chiton does have a moderately developed article already, and the lion's mane is much too developed for our purposes. Spongilla is surprisingly sparse - but there is lots of info out there about them.

Option 1

 * Article title
 * Gumboot chiton


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is fairly brief and only has 3 sections. I think it could be expanded on by talking about the food and reproduction of the chiton as well as other important information.


 * Sources
 * The sources could be expanded on. There are references to field guides and books but not to peer reviewed research papers/studies.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Lions Mane Jellyfish


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article itself looks pretty filled out, perhaps I could make it more concise but I feel it may be difficult to improve on. It is well written and does not seem opinionated.


 * Sources
 * It cites research, books, guides, and other sources. Perhaps it would be possible to bring in newer research

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Spongilla lacustris


 * Article Evaluation
 * It is extremely sparse and focuses on a freshwater sponge found in many locations including the Columbia river. Although I am extremely interested in it I am forced to wonder if there is a lack of information due to the scarcity of information. I could definitely expand on it with research papers


 * Sources
 * The sources are few and originated from 2014 or before. This could definitely be improved.
