Option 1

 * Article title
 * Radical Mastectomy


 * Article Evaluation
 * Invented by Halsted, the procedure is one of Johns Hopkins Medicine's most notable discoveries. However, the article lacks organizational structure (two sections, one entitled "radical mastectomy" and the other "extended radical mastectomies") and overall information. It would benefit from additional information on the procedures used in the modern day as well as greater insight into the transition from this procedure to less invasive ones.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * John Howland (doctor)


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article lacks information in all aspects and could benefit greatly from additions to the "career" subsection as well as the impact of the Harriet Lane Home in respect to both hospitals around the nation as well as developments within the Johns Hopkins institution.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Hugh H. Young


 * Article Evaluation
 * The only section in this article is "biography," which in itself should highlight the lack of information. Additions to the impact of the Young punch as well as modern techniques in urology would serve to round out the article as well as provide it with more context.
