Option 1: Forensic science

 * Article title
 * Forensic science
 * Article Evaluation

This article is about forensic sciences and the reason why I selected it was because it is the field in which I want to develop as a future professional and I am interested in learning more about this field and trying to collaborate to improve this article. This article is written in a neutral way. It contains a clear and precise introductory / main sentence that describes what will be being raised in the article. It is divided into different sections and all contain a relationship with the main topic of the article. The article contains images that help make it visually more interesting and attractive to the reader. Most of the references are reliable and come from books and websites that contain good facts and information on the subject. On the other hand, some of the sources are not working properly and this problem should be fixed and look for other sources for reference. Additionally, statistical data could be added on some of the topics that are presented in the different sections of the article.

Option 2: Forensic entomology

 * Article title
 * Forensic entomology
 * Article Evaluation
 * I chose this article as one of those that I want to evaluate because it is related to the Forensic field of study, which I am so passionate about exercising in the future and even because it is a subject that many people tend to "disgust", but in my opinion It is very interesting and includes very useful and study information. The content of this article is very relevant to the main topic. At first glance it can be identified that the article mainly requires images, so that in addition to being abundant in information as it currently is, it is visually more attractive for readers. The information found in the article is written in a neutral way and includes an introduction to the topic to be presented. I consider that the article is well organized and contains different sections that relate to the subject of the article. It covers a lot of information from books related to the subject and includes quotes. It is required to add information in the sections that are limited in information. All this will help to make the content of the article visually better and to elaborate even more on the subject that is presented in order to really "complete" the article. Tables could be created in some of the sections to add a different look to the article and to make it more attractive to the reader. Regarding the references, most are reliable and the article has great potential, data and important information on the topic "Forensic entomology".

Option 3: Animal attack

 * Article title
 * Animal attack


 * Article Evaluation
 * The reason I chose this article to evaluate was because it is an interesting topic and I think the article may have more potential. First, this article is written in a neutral way. The content of the article is relevant to the topic, but it needs more organization, structure and information. The main topic of the article is "animal attack", but the article refers to a very limited number of animals, they are relevant to the topic, but the amount leaves to be desired when reading the title of the article. It focuses a lot on what are the attacks caused by animal bites, when the subject does not only cover that. In addition, some of the references do not come from reliable sources, which makes the quality of the information that it has questionable. Should be added: images (to improve its visual content), reliable references, add information such as different types of animal attack or expand the list of animals mentioned so that the article is at the level of the topic or on the contrary, change the main title of the article and adapt it to its content. Also, different sections could be added, one of them on shocking cases occurred by animal attacks.
