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

Option 1

 * Withania somnifera/ ashwagandha :
 * written in a very descriptive, non-biased format. Only 14 sources and half of them are fairly old and only 1-3 are fairly new one of which is from this year. The content is mostly about the plant and the pests that attack it and where it grows and not so much about the supplement/medicine known as ashwagandha. When looking at this article I feel there are some dry spots that could use some updating on the information seeing as ashwagandha is an uprising supplement people are taking to lower their cortisol, and have some beneficial effects on their body in and out of the gym. The only sort of "population" it mentions is the fact that the plants is called "Indian ginseng" sometimes. The talk page has a plethora of information and topics on it, from "cancer treatment" to "toxicity" to even "Ashwagandha is grown and supplied in the USA also.":

Option 2

 * β-Alanine:
 * The information on the page is very informative and not biased in any way. Of the 20 sources, the most recent one is from 2019 and the next most recent is from 2018 and most of the other sources are not all that current but they are very valid sources as the beta-alanine isn't something that is going to change unless scientists/researchers discover something different about, or some different adverse effect that we didn't already know about it. The article does have a decent amount of information that is all cited very well, but I feel there are cracks in the wall, so to say, that can be filled with a little more info. :

Option 3

 * Vasodilation:
 * The first thing that pops up when opening this article is a big box that says: This article needs more reliable medical references for verification or relies too heavily on primary sources. Please review the contents of the article and add the appropriate references if you can. Unsourced or poorly sourced material may be challenged and removed. The references are fairly out of date and it would seem the information on the article is good but like it says, it relies heavily on primary sources. The information is not biased in any way, and there is a decent amount of information but like with the last option I listed, this article seems to have a few more holes in the wall that need to be patched up.
