Article Evaluation
Article chosen was American Horror Story: Cult, categorized as a C-class article.

Content Evaluation
The plot fails to highlight Ally's phobias and how they were deteriorating the relationship between Ally, her wife Ivy, and their son Oz. It was one of the main story lines instead of just a subplot, but the plot only mentions it at the very last sentence. In the development subsection, there's a quote from Ryan Murphy, one of the creators of the show, stating that the season would not feature Donald Trump of Hillary Clinton. However, this might misinform non-viewers as the season does mention both of the political figures in some of the episodes. The filming section could have included the location of the filming and the duration of the filming. Another thing that is missing from the production section is the budget involved. The Rotten Tomatoes score for the show in the reception section is also outdated and needs to be updated.

Tone Evaluation
The development section is heavily biased towards Ryan Murphy's updates leading up to the premiere of the show. Although he can be considered as the spokesperson of the show, a lot more were involved in the development of the show. The article does not include information or teasers that the cast members and other producers, writers, and directors released prior to the premiere. In the reception section of the article, the article seems to be biased towards the positive reception that American Horror Story: Cult garnered. While it did receive positive reviews, it has also gained negative reviews from fans and critics alike. However, the negative views were underrepresented. The article only includes the critics' consensus from Rotten Tomatoes and it fails to indicate the mixed reviews the TV show had actually gained.

Sources Evaluation
The citations support the claims made or information given in the article since most of the citations were just interviews or updates on social media. In the reception section, the citations themselves were not biased and both (Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic) clearly indicated the mixed reception that the fans and non-critics have had. However, the article fails to mention this and only includes scores and reviews given by critics. In the Ratings subsection, the US viewers per episode figure has a missing citation for the first season.

Talk Page Evaluation
There was a short conservation on names of future episodes back when the season was not finished yet. The user found the names of future episodes from a source that they were not sure if it was credible. Another conversation was about the "generally positive reviews" that the article had written in the reception section. A user pointed out that Rotten Tomatoes had 9 negative reviews out of the 20 reviews the show had at the time and questioned if the article should really tell readers that the show had "generally positive reviews."

First Article: Lethal Synthesis (While short I'm not sure how much total info there is on this topic)
This biochemistry article is categorized as a stub. It currently only has two sentences; the first defining it as a biosynthesis of a toxin from a non-toxin precursor, and the second describing the origin of the term. The talk page contains no discussion. Despite having only two sentences, the article has five references listed and more information can be drawn from these sources and added into the article. Possible references that are not listed and can be used to further expand the article are:


 * 1) Freedberg WB, Kistler WS, Lin ECC. Lethal Synthesis of Methylglyoxal by Escherichia coli During Unregulated Glycerol Metabolism. Journal of Bacteriology. 1971;108(1):137-144.
 * 2) Mutenda EK, Sparkes MJ, Dixon HB. Arsenite release on enzymic transformation of arsonomethyl substrate analogues: a potentially lethal synthesis by glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. Biochemical Journal. 1995;310(Pt 3):983-988.

Second Article: Glucokinase Regulatory Protein
This article is a C-class biochemistry article and it is about the glucokinase (also known as hexokinase IV) regulatory protein (GCKR). Despite being a regulator of a key enzyme in glucose metabolism, this article is not sufficiently expanded on. The talk page contains no discussion. Figures could be added to help readers digest and visualize the information. For example, other protein articles that are more developed contain an image of the protein structure from the RCSB PDB, its RNA expression pattern, its gene location, and its ontology. The articles also have at least one pathway map, which I think is very important for the GCKR article since it's a regulatory protein.

Third Article: Glucansucrase
This is another C-class article about the glycoside hydrolase enzyme glucansucrase, which is used by bacteria to split sucrose and use the remaining glucose molecules to build long, extracellular homopolysaccharides. I find this article to be highly relevant to the discussion of carbohydrates in class. This enzyme is also significant in multiple industries including biotechnology, the food industry, and human medicine. Despite having impacts across different fields, how the enzyme is actually used in these fields are not delineated in the article.

I think both two and there are good options and potentially one if there is enough literature. Choose whichever one interests you most -Dr. Tienson-Tseng
