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: "Preventive nutrition"
 * Article Evaluation: Wiki Project health and fitness, stub class, should rewrite in neutral Wikipedia style (right now it's written like a argumentative/personal essay), needs more info, needs citations added, not all content relevant to topic
 * Lead section: The introductory sentence states what preventative nutrition is in a clear and concise manner. The second and third sentences seem repetitive to me, could be improved and reworded. Also should mention some of the other benefits and points that will be discussed in the article. Take out the quote. Introduce which diseases will be focused on in the article (eg. obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease). Mention various diets that will be discussed (eg. Mediterranean Diet). The description of the article’s major sections is lacking. “Athletics” is a major section in the article and not mentioned in the introduction. Other topics discussed that are not specifically mentioned in the intro include, mental health, gut bacteria, and benefits in elderly patients. Type 2 diabetes is not discussed in article, but it is mentioned in the introduction.
 * Content: Content is mostly relevant to the topic and up to date. More content should be added (gather more information from high quality sources), and organization of the article should be improved. Remove quotes as they are not necessary. “Athletics” section does not seem relevant based on the introduction. However, I think parts of it can still be included, if the intro is also edited, because preventive nutrition is important in athletes too. It mentions a few studies done in specific populations (eg. hypertension in China). It does not address topics related to historically underrepresented populations (or it could be more specific, it just needs more info overall). There are equity gaps that can be improved.
 * Tone and balance: The article is not neutral. Claims do appear to be biased toward the position that preventive nutrition is beneficial. Phrases like, “there are endless benefits to eating healthy, and everybody knows this,” are used. Also uses language like “bad diet,” which is subjective and elusive. Viewpoints are only present for the benefits of preventive nutrition (no risks or limitations mentioned). This article attempts to persuade the reader in favour of one position. I would change the title of the “Overlooked aspects” section and rewrite that section from a neutral perspective. It discusses different barriers to eating healthy including, financial struggle, time constraints, and the convenience of fast food. The conclusion mentions Tom Brady, but he is not mentioned anywhere else in the article. The writer assumes Brady’s success is because of his “impeccable diet,” and no citation is added here.
 * Sources and references: Sources are current (all within last 10 years). Sources include editorial, websites, a review and journal article (but both by same author), and an article on “Child Diet and the School Nutrition Environment” (which is not discussed in depth in the article). Additional high-quality resources should be used because there are many available peer reviewed articles on preventive nutrition. Citations also need to be added in places. All the links all work. Disease prevention link goes to “Preventative healthcare” Wikipedia article. Additional images could be added, and captions could be improved to enhance the understanding of the image.
