Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

 * Article title
 * Scalloped ribbonfish


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article has literally three sentences total and severely lacks information. It has three total sources (all seemingly trustworthy) and one photo. There is no Lead, no Body, no content in reality. The tone is neutral at the very least, but this article needs severe work.


 * Sources
 * https://doi.org/10.1093/plankt/24.11.1245

Option 2

 * Article title
 * New Holland seahorse


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article contains a decent amount of information. It does list five references, all with trustworthy material. It contains a decent Lead and the body is fairly standard. The tone is neutral and there is a good balance throughout the article. The article is concise, but perhaps too concise. I believe it could use more information and many more references for those interested in learning about the water creature.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Hippocampus patagonicus


 * Article Evaluation
 * Similar to the article above, this article contains a decent amount information about the species of Hippocampus patagonicus. There is a total of five sources, all of trustworthy material. The Lead is good and the body is decently filled in a concise manner.. The tone is neutral and there is decent balance. Once again though, I believe there could be more information and references for those who would like to learn about this organism.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Dunckerocampus multiannulatus


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article, much like the first article, lacks information. It gives a few facts, but there are very few of them. It has only a few short sentences and two references. The references appear to be trustworthy, but this article severely lacks content and needs additional work. The tone is neutral, but there is no lead nor content.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Goosefish


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article contains more information than then first and fourth article, but not as much as the second and third. There is not a strong lead nor is there good balance, but the tone is neutral. There are a total of four references, all seemingly trustworthy. The article could pass to start someone's curiosity, but it could use some more details as well as references.
