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

Option 1

 * Bioaccumulation
 * Article Evaluation
 * Relevant (though it might be very close to Biomagnification)
 * Neutral
 * Few of the examples have an attached citation
 * Reputable, relatively unbiased sources
 * Folks on the Talk page want to clarify Bioconcentration vs. bioaccumulation vs. biomagnification
 * Needs further elaboration and contextualization
 * Sources
 * TBC
 * Sources
 * TBC

Option 2

 * Conservation Officer
 * Article Evaluation
 * Relevant, adding sections would certainly make it more relevant to the field of conservation biology as a whole
 * Neutral, but lacking a well-rounded concept of what a conservation officer is/the value/overall importance in the field of biology
 * The links to North American office pages are a good inclusion
 * Sources could use some work (they seem to be taken mostly from U.S. state/federal websites, news)
 * Talk page mentions the lack of citation style conformity
 * Sources
 * TBC
 * Sources
 * TBC

Option 3

 * Secondary Forest
 * Article Evaluation
 * A very valuable and relevant topic, but the article needs further development in terms of examples/context for places outside of the United States
 * USA-centric, so not entirely neutral
 * Could do better at representing marginalized groups
 * Few references/citations, and relatively outdated
 * Talk page is surprisingly active, with multiple good ideas/clarifications
 * Could benefit from a section on climate change mitigation (globally?)
 * Could also benefit from a section on biodiversity - proposing arguments for both?
 * Could also benefit from a section on biodiversity - proposing arguments for both?

Option 4

 * Umbrella Species
 * Article Evaluation
 * Relevant to the topic of Conservation Biology, neutral voice
 * Good choices for subheadings/subsections within the article, they just need further fleshing-out
 * Professional
 * Citations rely a bit heavily on news/media sources, rather than peer-reviewed work (this could be a good addition)
 * A quiet Talk page
 * Sources
 * TBC
 * Sources
 * TBC

Option 5

 * Minimum Viable Population
 * Article Evaluation
 * Relevant, especially in today's biological world; neutral voice
 * Reasonable citation list/sources, but many could be updated
 * Could do a better "See Also" section
 * Professional-looking
 * Decent discussions on Talk page, but not many new ideas
 * Sources
 * TBC
