Option 1

 * Article title: Mushroom poisoning:
 * Article Evaluation: This article has a good lead section, concise and clear definition of mushroom poisoning and overview with top. It covers most of the important aspects of a topic, however I think the prognosis and treatment section is neglected and missing as well as the effects and prognosis of the most lethal mushrooms (which is listed but not explained). Additionally this article is organized in a confusing way. The toxins are introduced first in a table, without linking to specific mushroom and then the mushrooms are listed later in paragraph style. tone and balance are ok without biased opinions, however I think viewpoints from other cultural practices from indigenous people and people outside of the US such as cooking, medicinal, and ceremonial practices. :

Option 2

 * Article title Healthcare and the LGBT community:
 * Article Evaluation:This article covers issues affecting the LGBT community and their unique causes and disparities. This article begins with general health issues and then splits issues up by categories of sexuality: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans. Additional headings include assisted reproductive technologies, LGBT health and social support network, Healthcare education, causes of LGBT health disparities, Health of LGBT people of color and a small section on Covid-19. Many of the claims cited by this article are false and not cited properly. There are also over 200 citations, many of them are over 10 years old and do not work.
