Article Selection
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
 * Percimorpha


 * Article Evaluation
 * It's a stub. It has some useful diagrams and good referencing, but it is not well fleshed out. The sources are solid which will make it easier to find associated sources or mine the current sources for more relevant details besides the diagrams. It is written neutrally.


 * Sources

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Siphonal canal


 * Article Evaluation
 * Its really really short. It has no citations. It has claims that could be supported and seem correct, but no citations for them.


 * Sources
 * https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Marcos-Vieira-3/publication/311019291_First_record_of_double_aperture_in_a_gastropod_shell/links/583c300908ae3cb6365545c8/First-record-of-double-aperture-in-a-gastropod-shell.pdf

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Sessility (botany)


 * Article Evaluation
 * Very, very short. There are parts that have a citation needed even though the article is only a hundred words long and has three citations. The sources also don't have DOIs. I don't know enough about this particular article to suggest any specific edits, but this could be an avenue of exploration


 * Sources

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Leotiomycetes


 * Article Evaluation
 * A type of fungus, it only has one citation so it's not well cited and is very short. They mention aspects that are "dubious" without citing literature or expanding on that fact.


 * Sources

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Palmer Land


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article appears to be more put together but only has one source. There have been many studies on the geography and climate of this peninsula since the one cited article was written. The reference also doesn't lead to anywhere, it is a broken link. This is a location name not the peninsula itself but there could still be more information gleaned and placed here.
