Option 1

 * Article title: Venezuelan poodle moth
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article's content is relevant to the topic at hand, as well as being spoken from a neutral point of view, but it's primary issue is the fact that half the facts it supposedly states aren't cited in any manner. The citations, on the other hand, are reliable, albeit only apparently from websites. The Talk page on the subject isn't very extensive, which made for a quick read, but my concern had mainly been the fact that it seems that plaguing issues discuss why some content is missing. For instance, one of the glaring issues I would hypothetically rectify is the fact that there is no actual picture of the moth on the page; however, according to one of the Talk posts, this is because the picture that was taken was copyrighted.

Option 2

 * Article title: Biomedical engineering
 * Article Evaluation
 * Let it be known that the primary reason I chose to evaluate this article -- well, chose to potentially evaluate this article, is because one of my original dreams was to become a biomedical engineer. Reading through it, the information does seem relevant to the established topic, as well as written neutrally, but this article is also missing some fundamental citations. The citations that are there, however, are reliable and draw on a great many sources, and not only those of a single medium. Even the Talk page is quite well-established, with people suggesting well-thought out links to be made additions, as well as subject such as if the Biomedical Engineering article should be merged with the Health Technology one (this, of course, didn't happen as the two are still individual).

Option 3

 * Article title: Carrion flower
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article seems complete on the surface, maintaining a neutral viewpoint (I'm beginning to sense a theme here) and topic-relevant information, but the main issue is the fact that where there should be citations, there are none. I say this in relation to the subsections where various types of carrion flowers are discussed, but are, for the most part, done without citation. To elaborate, while the article does provide links to the various sorts of carrion flowers it discusses, some don't actually say within them that that group of flowers are explicitly "carrion flowers." The reference material does seem reliable, though, and the Talk page, though fairly bare (only two posts and responses to said posts), does have relevant discussions concerning archives being added and the discussion of whether some flowers are carrion flowers or not.

Option 4

 * Article title: Narrative designer
 * Article Evaluation
 * I chose this topic because, if you may recall, I said "biomedical engineer" used to be my dream job; "narrative designer" is what I'm currently aiming for, and I must admit the Wikipedia article regarding the career is severely underwhelming. Yes, while all the information in the article is related to the topic, the article is literally three sentences. It is written from a neutral standpoint with proper citations, both in the text and with proper references, but the Talk page really only has a single topic (if you can even call it that; the discussion was never named or headed, and really doesn't have any more than one person speaking in it). I feel there's more to be discussed about the topic.

Option 5

 * Article title: Dokapon Kingdom
 * Article Evaluation
 * I chose this game because it was one of my favorites when I was a kid, regardless of whether I "finished" it or not (which I never did, but I digress). All of the content in it relates to the game, and it is all written neutrally as well, but while its citations are reliable, it is still missing one or two. The Talk page isn't very extensive, with posts unrelated to edits (or requesting the reversion of such) mainly being questions of whether the game is a spiritual successor to other "Dokapon" games (which there are quite a few of, as I was considering doing my revision to some of the ones less developed than this one and had to do a bit of research of all the Dokapon games there are/were) and similar in-game matters.
