Option 1

 * Article title: testosterone
 * Article Evaluation
 * If i were to do this article i would like to focus on improving a few key parts of the article. The first part i would take away would be the motivation section. This section does not seem needed. Another section that is not needed is the "other animals section". This section holds limited information that does not follow the themes of the rest of the page. The distribution section could also be improved. This idea could be expanded to talk about how the levels in different parts of the body fluctuate and how the body knows where to put the hormone. A few of the lines in the article are also missing their citations as well which is a problem. Lastly, i would add information on the interaction thyroid hormones have with other hormones, and their prevalence in women and men.

Option 2

 * Article title: Thyroid Hormones
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article seems to need more work than some other ones i have seen. The membrane and intracellular transport sections could be expanded upon greatly. The next section that could use some work would be the measurement section. There are more than just the tests outlined in that section, and the different test have different effects and outcomes. The section about anti-thyroid drugs could be expanded in a way so that we could know what each of the different drugs and treatments are responsible for. I would also take out the peripheral section, this section does not offer any information that has not already been shared in the rest of the article. The nest section that should be strengthened would be the section about production in fetuses. I would look at the consequences and what diseases result from decreased production.

Option 3

 * Article title: Congenital Hypothyroidism
 * Article Evaluation
 * The information presented about this disease is very limited from what i can see in this article. Along with that much of the information in the article is quite dated, with only a few additions made in the past year. The sections treatment, diagnosis, epidemiology, and evaluation are all lacking information on their given topic. There are also no pictures of the genetic aspect of this disease, and the pictures that are presented are all derivative of each other. Even though this is a fairly limited topic i think that this could be expanded upon.
