Option 1

 * Human Virome
 * Article Evaluation
 * I think this article is a good start. The introduction definitely needs some work and could be added to. The sections on effect of skin location and effect of diet really need some work. There could also be an edition of the oral virome. There needs to be more information on bacteriophages since they are the most abundant virus in the gut. I also think the organization could be improved

 * Sources
 * There are many sources in this article for the amount of information that is present, which is a good thing. The sources mostly come from well known journals, with some from .org websites.

Option 2

 * Virome
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is pretty short and definitely needs some work. The introduction is very short and so are the other sections. There should be a whole section on bacteriophage as well as a section on different types of viruses.

 * Sources
 * There are a lot of good sources, but most of them seem to be from the early 2000’s. They do all come from reliable journals.

Option 3

 * Phageome or Human Gut Phageome
 * This is my preference because I think the article is needed and is a cool topic, but I think the other two options I chose would have sections on this as well so if you don't think this needs it's own article I can do another one.


 * Article Evaluation
 * This would be an article that I would create. While looking at the bacteriophage wiki page, I noticed the word phageome which I had never heard of. I went to look it up and realized it was in a lot of scientific papers without much explanation of what the word refers to. After a deep dive into the different papers that used it, I found the first time it was used was in 2013 in an article that uses it to refer to what would be like the microbiome but for phages. I think this would be an interesting topic to research because it is notable and has no article. I would write a general overview as well as different sections on research in the gut phageome, oral phageome, etc. I think from what I have found so far, the phageome is a smaller part of the virome. It is mostly used when referring to the gut phageome, or healthy gut phageome in literature. It makes sense to me that the phageome is a separate term than virome, because bacteria make up the majority of the virome.
