Option 1

 * Extinction:
 * Article Evaluation:
 * The article's content is relevant to the topic, and is written neutrally. Not every claim has a citation, thus that could use some improvement (Definition section, introduction section). The citations are from reliable sources, and most being peer-reviewed journals. Perhaps the list of examples of species that are extinct could be a little more redirected towards what people commonly know. For example, the "Chinese paddlefish, Great auk, Thylacine, Spectacled cormorant..." These are species that are common to the average person. Instead, it would be better to add the woolly mammoth, dinosaurs, Saber Tooth, etc.:

 * The article's content is relevant to the topic, and is written neutrally. Not every claim has a citation, thus that could use some improvement.
