Option 1

 * Article title
 * Food chain
 * Article Evaluation:This article is very low rated on the content assessment scale, but high rated in vitality. This implies that the article definitely needs immediate improvement. First and foremost, the article shows many contradictions and inconsistencies within itself that need to be corrected. The article also needs general clean up in matter of flow. The lead section is lengthy and should be shortened; it is too detailed when it should be surface level. Much of the lead section should be placed into its own section of the article. The length section occasionally includes information that veers off from the length topic and should be moved into another section or removed entirely. The talk page agrees with much of this and specifically mentions how unorganized this very important topic is. The article is neutral and scientific throughout, but needs to simply be better written in some areas. The references look generally good, but the article definitely needs more citations and links to other references.

Option 2

 * Article title:Clownfish
 * Article Evaluation:The article definitely needs better organization and flow. The lead section is a bit lengthy and should be condensed for surface level and introductory information rather than in-depth concepts. The information that is too specific in the lead should be placed in its own section. Some information is not specific enough and some wording can be changed to be less confusing as well. It can also just generally use some more information and connections to mutualism. The talk page states similar findings on evaluations.

Option 3

 * Article title:Flower mantis
 * Article Evaluation:The article can overall use some general information, including information about its mimicry and links to mimicry pages that relate. General information can simply include more species and/or subfamilies of the flower mantis. The article is neutral and does not need much change there. The article can use more examples of how its mimicry functions with other species. The talk page speaks similarly on this evaluation. The citations can also use some editing, some sources not being necessarily reliable.
