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
 * Alluvial river


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article has a lot of components that are all fairly short in length. I definitely feel that more could be added to go more in depth about points mentioned in the article. There are also only five sources, which I think is very low and more reliable sources need to be added. Especially since only one paper specifically mentioned alluvial rivers in the title. I think this article has a good spine to really build off of and all that is needed is more information added. A quick search showed many potential sources with a bulk of information.

 * Ward, J. V., & Stanford, J. A. (1995). Ecological connectivity in alluvial river ecosystems and its disruption by flow regulation. Regulated rivers: research & management, 11(1), 105-119.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Mangrove deforestation in Myanmar
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article has few references and the information could definitely go more in depth. I think more on why deforestation of mangroves is so bad and the effects it has on different things, such as mangrove deforestation increases carbon in the atmosphere. The wording of the article could also be improved. There could be more pictures or figures included. Overall, I think there is room for this article to be improved.

 * Oo, N. (2002). Present state and problems of mangrove management in Myanmar. Trees, 16(2-3), 218-223.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Resource (biology)


 * Article Evaluation
 * Overall, this article is very short and contains little information. It has a brief definition and a short list of resources. This is not extremely useful or informative. I think there could be information put in the article to explain biological resources in a way that is much more informative and will allow readers to get more from the article.
