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

Option 1

 * "Gnotobiosis"
 * So far the article has relevant content, it is just lacking in a broad representation of examples. The article also fails to fully address the application of these systems. While some of the citations are reliable, the article only has five sources. It needs to be expanded to include a larger variety of sources. The article was merged with "Gnotobiotic Animals" in 2014, but aside from this the talk page has not been very active and the only post has not been signed though it provides high quality input and sources.
 * Notes from instructor meeting:
 * Many references and links are do not work or are not open access
 * There is currently a limited number of links
 * The initial description/introduction is poorly done and requires prior knowledge on the part of the reader (*major work needed here)
 * There is a limited number of gnotobiotic organisms described
 * limited description of its application and impacts
 * The article needs restructuring
 * Note to self: don't fix everything, focus on quality over quantity. Make not of what else needs to be done

Option 2
"Initial acquisition of microbiota"


 * The article appears to have relevant information, however, the article focuses on animals and does not include plants or other host associated microbiota. This provides an opportunity for expansion of the article. Despite the missing information, there is a variety of relevant sources used by the article. There are currently no posts on the Talk page.

Option 3

 * "Placental microbiome"
 * The information present in the article is of high quality and appears to be an unbiased, neutral perspective. The article is relatively short so their is room for expansion on the topics. The most recent publication used in the citations was 2017 so there is potential to include more recent research. Additionally, it is unclear what animals are being referred to through out the article (i.e. human vs. non-human). The talk page posts are very limited and it appears that the person who started the article monitors modifications to it very closely.

Option 4

 * "Microbial ecology"
 * The article presents fairly high quality information; however, it primarily includes information on environmental microbial communities. This does not evenly cover host-associated microbial communities, a very large portion of the microbial ecology field. The article need to be fleshed out in this regard. The talk page has not been posted to since 2013. This article is rated as high-importance but needs to be expanded on.
