 * The Lead of this article is a good introductory sentence, it explained who was Eugene Cernan. This includes a brief description of the article's major sections very concisely. This article was last edited 2 weeks ago, therefore many of the information is up-to-date. There is no content missing in this article. The article doesn't deal with one of Wikipedia's equity gaps. The article is neutral, because it doesn't appear a heavily or any biased argument in this article. The article doesn't attempt to persuade the reader in favor of any point of view or position.

The images adhere to all Wikipedia's copyright regulations. This images are laid out in an appealing way. The kind of conversations they are having in the talk pages are mostly about errors in spelling. The article has been rated as a GA-Class article. This article is part of 8 other Wikiprojects. The article has a very good structure and is very concise on its topic. They explain important events since Eugene Cernan started undergraduate school. I think the article is well developed and doesn't have to be improved because, if we gather more information and write it; we'll have too much reading and will not be important information.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * SEA-PHAGES


 * Article Evaluation
 * The Lead of this article describes the meaning of SEA-PHAGES. I think this is not a good introduction for the Lead but i do think it should be somewhere in the article. When describing what is the project it explains that it is divided in two semesters and it explains the procedure that should be done in the project. They explain all the online database that you will need for the project. This article was last edited on 2019, this means that this is not up to date. They haven’t talk in the talk pages. This article is rated as a C-Class, Low importance. This article is concise and good to read. This article doesn’t have any grammatical errors. On the other hand it doesn’t contain any source of image or media. I think people should have conversations on the talk page and show some interest in this topic, I think it is an interesting topic for many people using Wikipedia in the branch of science.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * N95 mask


 * Article Evaluation
 * The lead of this article is very good and explains what is the N-95 mask.
 * The lead information doesn’t included a brief description of the articles major sections.
 * I would totally improve the Lead.
 * I wouldn’t consider that explaining the different criteria of different N-95 around the world was a necessity to write it down in the Lead or in the article at all.
 * I think that talking about COVID-19 on the article is not correct fue the fact that nobody has studied to virus completely.
 * The article is up-to-date
 * The article is neutral, it gives you basic information of the N-95 mask.
 * All the sources are currently available.
 * I think this article is well written and the overall status is good.
 * The images placed in the article are well-caption and adhere to Wikipedia’s copyright regulations.
 * I would improve the article a little bit taking out the COVID-19 section because is constantly changing.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Volleyball
 * Article Evaluation
 * The lead includes an introductory sentence that describes the article. It includes a brief description of every single section of volleyball.The Lead doesn't present any information that is not on the article because it is explained in detail, later on the reading. It includes a consist introductory sentence because it tells you and shows you in every good detail of volleyball. The article is up to date because it was last edited on 3 September 2020. I think that this article has everything detailed to volleyball therefore is complete. This article is not neutral because on the part that it talks about the serve it says that the sky ball serve was invented by the Brazilian team in the early 1980s, and for me this information is out of content. In this article they deal with one of Wikipedia’s equity gaps that are transgender players. On the article it appears a claim that is about the transgender players. And many people are expressing their concerns and supporting it. On the article the part that it talks about the attack is overrepresented, there are many details that tells you and shows you where you should be if you attack. Most of the parts are not backed up by reliable source and the other parts have their reliable source.  The sources are currently available. There are no grammatical errors. The article has 19 images that are well captioned, and adhere to Wikipedia’s copy-write regulations. This article is classified as a C-class, Top-importance. In the talk page they are asking for edit request. What I think and would change I said already above.
