Option 1

 * Article title
 * Pre-eclampsia
 * Article Evaluation
 * The information presented in the article is entirely relevant to the topic. Not only is the term defined, but pathogenesis, diagnosis, symptoms, and treatments are all detailed in the article. The article is written in a neutral tone, with passive verbs, which makes it appear more professional. Most, but not all claims have citations, especially in the 'signs and symptoms' and 'pathogenesis' sections. However, there are many citations throughout the article and a long list of references at the end of the article; almost all of the references come from scientific journals, which is a good sign that the information presented in the article is legitimate and accurate.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Gestational diabetes

 * The information presented in this article is also entirely relevant to the topic. The term is defined and risk factors, pathophysiology, prevention, management, and prognosis are all detailed in the article. This article is also written in a neutral tone, with passive verbs.

Almost all of the references come from scientific journals, which is a good sign that the information presented in the article is legitimate and accurate.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Menopause
 * Article Evaluation
 * Again, the information presented in this article is entirely relevant to the topic. The term is defined and causes, mechanism, diagnosis, management, and various societal and cultural views are all detailed in the article. This article is written in a neutral tone, with passive verbs, and not too many descriptors. In this article, all facts are cited. There are many citations throughout the article as well; it also contains a long list of references at the end. Almost all of the references come from scientific journals, which is a good sign that the information presented in the article is legitimate and accurate. I believe I can add to the "causes" portion of this article. I learned about antagonistic pleiotropy as a possible cause of menopause and I think it would be a good addition to the article.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Fetal circulation
 * Article Evaluation
 * The information presented in this article is relevant to the topic, however I believe some parts can be elaborated further. The term is defined and structure and physiology, along with additional pictures are all detailed in the article. This article is written in a neutral tone, with passive verbs, and not too many descriptors. In this article, not all facts are cited. However, many of the claims are about the anatomy of the fetus and I am not sure if those types of claims can be cited. There are citations throughout the article and it contains a long list of references at the end. Almost all of the references come from scientific journals.
