Option 1

 * Article Title:
 * Liatris helleri
 * Article Evaluation:
 * The article is well written and gives an fair overview of information related to the plant species. The information is not split into sections yet and are all in one section. The information also is slightly out of date. It was last edited in 2018 and a new assessment from the USFWS about the species' conservation status was released in 2020. The topic on whether Liatris helleri is an endemic only in NC or if it should be considered part of Liatris turgida should be gone into further detail.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Geum radiatum


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is well written and gives a good overview of knowledge important to the species. It includes information about the species' environment and conservation status. It flows well but more information could be added and the article could be broken up into sections.


 * Sources
 * Pamphlet about life history

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Solidago spithamaea


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is a good start but could be expanded and better organized. Some of the paragraphs are single sentences. I acknowledge this seems to be a trend with these rare Appalachian species. This could be due to a lack of interest or information. Still, it does provide an adequate introduction to the topic.
