Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

 * Clostridium scindens
 * Article Evaluation
 * I have already made some edits/ to this page and evaluated it in a previous exercise, however I think that it could be further improved upon. Currently, this article has minimal information and briefly describes the bacterium, but does not expand upon it. Most sources already listed are good starts, however more information such as the organism's probiotic role could be discussed.

Option 2

 * Bile Salt Hydrolases
 * Article Evaluation
 * This actually isn't an article yet, however I would like to write an article about BSHs because they play an important role in bile acid metabolism. I think creating this article could expand upon the bile acid section of Wikipedia. Additionally, organisms that possess a BSH are associated to resistance of C. difficile infection and have potential use as probiotics.

Option 3

 * Stickland Fermentation
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article has a good start, however it does not describe the history of this fermentation method. Additionally, it has limited sources (two) and does not describe its role in Clostridia. Since this is an important pathway, I would like to expand on it and describe its role in C. diff and other bacteria.

Option 4

 * Clostridium hiranonis
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is extremely short and does not include any information beyond a basic description. There are some trustworthy sources, such as the paper describing its isolation, however the remaining citations are from Uniprot or taxonomic databases. These are trustworthy, however they don't provide much information other than descriptions of strains/nomenclature. I would like to expand on this fragment and include a description of this bacterium's role in bile acid modification and protection against C. difficile infection.
