Option 1

 * Article title:Halogen Addition Reaction
 * Article Evaluation:Overall, a good introduction to the topic. Relatively in-depth, has some excellent figures. :Talk page is very sparse, so likely very few users have edited this page. :Could do with more information about the mechanism and rationale about mechanism, as well as more examples. :Would want to add sources about history, use in synthesis and reactivity. :Addition of more figures would also increase the usability of the article.

Option 2

 * Article title:Ammonium
 * Article Evaluation:Overall, this article has included in its headings most of the important points about ammonium. It has a considerable number of sources, as well as some very good figures and preliminary explanations. :It needs addition in the Biology section, and some more information about the historical importance of ammonium (how/where it was discovered, contextual information). :Most of the sections are a very good framework, but could do with more in-depth information, as well as expanding on the topics already there. :If added to, some simple mechanistic schemes showing common reactions involving ammonium groups would also improve the usability of this article.
 * Sources:https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/pharmacology-toxicology-and-pharmaceutical-science/ammonium :This link would be great for getting high-quality, in-depth information about ammonium and applications.

Option 3

 * Article title:Le Chatelier's principle
 * Article Evaluation:The article has a banner at the top saying it does not have enough citations. This would be a great improvement to the article. Overall, the information is quite in-depth, and could do with a section that is much more brief (much like the introduction) for readers who just want a basic understanding of the principle. Furthermore, the sections currently added are relatively well written, though would be improved with breaking up the text into more paragraph sections and adding images and schematics. :The information is good, but the citations need a lot of work. :

Option 4

 * Article title:Aromaticity
 * Article Evaluation:Article needs citations, as noted by the banner at the top of the page. :Looking through the article, there are significant examples of sentences being presented as fact without a citation. The article, though well written and in a good deal of detail, does need improvement in this regard. :Article does discuss aromatic reactions to a degree, though this should be looked at adding in more detail. :More images and schematics would also improve the article greatly. :
 * Sources:These articles would be a good place to start.

Option 5

 * Article title:Clemmensen reduction
 * Article Evaluation:This article is very short and not very well laid out. The writing already in there is relatively good, and provide an excellent structure on which to expand. There should be some more examples of mechanism and synthesis using Clemmensen Reduction, as well as checking the citations, as many are very old. :
