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
 * Carbamate


 * Article Evaluation
 * There are a lot of subheadings listed for more ideas to be talked about regarding this subject, but there is not very much information at all about a good bit of the topics listed. There is only some information on the talk page in regards to maybe containing inaccurate information.


 * Sources
 * Carbamate

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Ethinylestradiol


 * Article Evaluation
 * Unlike the other article, there is a lot of information on this page, so much so that I feel like there is too much information. There are lots of sources on this article. The overdose section is not cited. I feel like this article could be misleading in some areas. The article may not be easy to understand for some, because it does not seem to be written for the general public. The talk page mentioned some revisouns that were made as well as copyright issues being removed.


 * Sources
 * Ethinylestradiol

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Environmental impact of pharmaceuticals and personal care products


 * Article Evaluation
 * In this article, there is a lot of information and research done as far as collecting resources. I am not sure why they put a pending questions section in the article, but I could be wrong. I see were some of the resources used are from news resources, which could reflect bias and misleading information. There is not very much information on the sunscreen section of the article. The talk page mentions there needing to be some more citations as well as summing up the title of the article, because it is kind of long.


 * Sources
 * Environmental impact of pharmaceuticals and personal care products

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Piperonyl butoxide


 * Article Evaluation
 * In this article, there could be more information especially in the introduction part of the article. There are a good bit of sections in this article where sources are uncited. There could be more picture represented. In the "Dermal absorption" section it says "the available data indicated" not referencing to any actual data or at least I am not sure where the data is that the article is referring to. There is not many comments on the talk page of this article.


 * Sources
 * Piperonyl butoxide

Option 5

 * Article title
 * PCBs


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article shows a lot of information and picture on the subject of PCBs. The article lists places that have pollution due to PCBs, but this may be misleading, because PCBs are everywhere. There are good resources used and most everything seems to be cited correctly, to my knowledge. There was a lot of information on the talk page to improve this article and use proper sources. In the talk page as well, someone felt like there was controversial subject mentioned


 * Sources
 * Polychlorinated biphenyl
