Option 1

 * Article title: Cutibacterium acnes
 * Article Evaluation: The language used in the beginning paragraphs describing C. acnes is a scientific and may be advanced when first starting to learn about the bacteria. Making the language more accessible will make the article easier to understand and navigate through. More detail on acne vulgaris could be included in the article, as well as how S. epidermidis and C. acnes work together and must be balanced on the skins normal flora. Minimal information is given on other diseases or complications C. acnes may cause as the sections are as short as one sentence and do not provide much information. For the amount of sources used in the article, I would expect more information given, however, it shows the information given is backed up by many sources. There are also only 4 talk updates that range from 2007-2017, so this article is not visited frequently enough for updates. Overall it gives solid starting information about C. acnes, but the language could be more accessible and more information could be added within paragraph sections.

Option 2

 * Article title: 2002–2004 SARS outbreak
 * Article Evaluation: This article is extremely detailed and takes the reader through a proper timeline of events that occurred with the SARS outbreak. It also goes into detail about each location the virus was found in and broke out. It includes and easy to read table of each country that number of cases, deaths, and fatality percentage. This article is organized and easy to follow. I was interested in doing more research into the SARS outbreak as COVID-19 is related to the virus. Also our Spillover chapter and discussion was very informative and intriguing. This article only needs some validating resources as it mentions at the top of the article, but it has lots of information already.

Option 3

 * Article title: Cordycepin
 * Article Evaluation: This article has some basic starting points, but could use a lot more detail. There is only an introduction paragraph and no subtitles. The introduction uses lots of scientific wording, which makes sense given the topic, however it can be hard to follow if you are first reviewing this article. There is also no discussion on the talk page and only 7 references. Currently there is only information on its chemical components, and more can be added about its potential to be an antibiotic, how its extracted, where it comes from, etc. Cordycepin would be an interesting article to take on since we have discussed this chemical in class as well as the case study we did in lab.
