Option 1

 * Article title Classical physics
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article has an overview of classical theories. It's a little strange to me that there is no "History/Development" section as the development of physical theories typically plays a role in the pedagogy. Also a better compare and contrast, to motivate non-classical theories, the section at the end with the computer modeling is oddly specific.

Option 2

 * Article title Physical biochemistry
 * Article Evaluation
 * I find it interesting that this sparse article does not at all link to the Biophysics page. I understand that there are so many interdisciplinary fields at this point but that particular distinction seems a little pedantic to me. This could benefit from some techniques as well as a history of development.

Option 3

 * Article title Biological membrane
 * Article Evaluation
 * Biological membranes play such important roles in many processes. I am a little confused on the roles that the Biological membrane page and the Cell membrane play. Both articles are under the same Wiki project, although the Cell membrane page seems to be under several inactive Wiki projects. Either way the page can benefit from some biophysical insights.

Option 4

 * Article title Molecular orbital theory
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article could benefit from introducing some of the formalism seen in the Molecular orbital page, and the Molecular orbital diagram page. They are part of different Wiki projects (physics and chemistry respectively) but I do think that looking at the theory as a whole, readers will want some understanding from fundamental principals, as well as the formalism of its applications.

Option 5

 * Article title Multi-compartment model
 * Article Evaluation
 * I would like to see this article in particular have some work done. When you search "compartmental modeling" the first thing to come up is Compartmental models in epidemiology which is albeit a useful application, but the idea of compartmental models take many different forms. This page goes over a good overview of the theory, but more could be added. Models can be continuous or discrete, deterministic or stochastic.
