Option 1

 * Article title
 * My Uncle's Wedding


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is missing several critical components from a proper Lead, criticisms, themes, etc. There's virtually no structure in the entirety of the article. This article has received lots of media responses and the article needs to show that.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Glass (novel)


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article plot description is pretty good. However, the section on controversy is entirely empty. It is also missing several critical structural components. Additionally, this book has received lots of criticism and the article needs to acknowledge that.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Madeline (book series)


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article contains basically contributes no information of significance to the novel. There are only two useless sections about "character" and "books", which need to be removed or seriously re-worked. It needs a plot overview, media responses, a decent Lead etc.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Harry Potter


 * Article Evaluation
 * While I understand that everything about this article is nearly flawless, I noticed a lack of one very important topic: the sale of harry potter merchandise. Companies sell all kinds of wands, from character wands to customized, and there has become a market for it. I think an addition including finances behind the novel would add a lot to the article. As a whole, there really isn't enough information on how much of a thriving franchise Harry Potter has come.
