Option 1

 * Article title
 * Polyuridylation


 * Article Evaluation
 * Lead section:
 * The lead section was well done as the leading sentence provides enough information to define polyuridylation.
 * However, the article is quite short and I believe additional information regarding the creation of the tail can be discussed.  Content:
 * The article appears to be well-cited and up-to-date.
 * It doesn't serve any purpose to discuss equity gaps, and thus there are no discussions on these gaps.
 * There is a lack of content that discusses the process of the PolyA tail and its role in mature RNA. Tone and Balance:
 * The tone appears to be relatively neutral as the article serves to discuss facts rather than an argument as some articles may aim to do.
 * The content, although relatively short, does not have any hints of bias. Sources and References:
 * There is only 1 source due to the lack of information. Organization and Writing Quality:
 * The article is well written, but once again lacks further sections. The text appears to have no grammatical errors. Images and Media:
 * There are no images. Talk Page:
 * It has a Stub-class and is not part of any wiki projects.
 * There is only one critique about a species name which does not have anything to do with the actual subject of the page. Overall impressions: Overall, it was a moderate article. If I were to edit this article, I would perhaps add additional information.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * DNA polymerase


 * Article Evaluation
 * Lead section:
 * The lead section was well done as the leading sentence provides enough information to define a DNA polymerase and its function.
 * However, the history section is quite short and I believe additional information regarding the discovery of the DNA polymerase could be discussed. Content:
 * The article appears to be well-cited and up-to-date.
 * It doesn't serve any purpose to discuss equity gaps, and thus there are no discussions on these gaps.
 * There is a lack of content that discusses the process of discovering DNA polymerase. There is one section that discusses Bacteriophage T4 DNA polymerase. This indicates that we could find additional types of DNA polymerase to add. Tone and Balance:
 * The tone appears to be relatively neutral as the article serves to discuss facts rather than an argument as some articles may aim to do.
 * The content does not have any hints of bias. Sources and References:
 * The sources appear to be well crafted. The links do work and lead to several articles from established journals, indicating they are well edited sources. Organization and Writing Quality:
 * The article is well written, it involves sections that are well labeled. The text appears to have no grammatical errors. Images and Media:
 * There are a couple of images that show the structure of the subunits of the polymerase. Talk Page:
 * It has a C-class and is not part of any wiki projects.
 * There are several critiques that involve confusing wording and a lack of information. Overall impressions: Overall, it was a moderate article. If I were to edit this article, I would perhaps add additional information.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Genetic code


 * Article Evaluation
 * Lead section:
 * The lead section was well done as the leading sentence provides enough information to define the genetic code and its function.
 * However, there is no mention of the wobble base and its resulting impact on the genetic code. Content:
 * The article appears to be well-cited and up-to-date.
 * It doesn't serve any purpose to discuss equity gaps, and thus there are no discussions on these gaps.
 * There is a lack of content that discusses the wobble base which is a key part of the tRNA and protein synthesis process. Tone and Balance:
 * The tone appears to be relatively neutral as the article serves to discuss facts rather than an argument as some articles may aim to do.
 * The content does not have any hints of bias. Sources and References:
 * The sources appear to be well crafted. The links do work and lead to several articles from established journals, indicating they are well edited sources. Organization and Writing Quality:
 * The article is well written, it involves sections that are well labeled. The text appears to have no grammatical errors. Images and Media:
 * There are several images that show the structure DNA, the different possibilities of codons, and mutations. Talk Page:
 * It has a GA-class and is not part of any wiki projects.
 * There are several critiques that involve confusing wording and a lack of information for tables/hydropathy. Overall impressions: Overall, it was a moderate article. If I were to edit this article, I would perhaps add additional information.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Protease


 * Article Evaluation
 * Lead section:
 * The lead section was well done as the leading sentence provides enough information to define a protease and its function.
 * However, there is no history section and I believe additional information regarding the discovery of the protease discovery should be discussed. Content:
 * The article appears to be well-cited and up-to-date.
 * It doesn't serve any purpose to discuss equity gaps, and thus there are no discussions on these gaps.
 * There is a lack of content that discusses the process of discovering protease. There are several sections that discuss different types of animals and their proteases. These sections do not appear to be as critical as the history. Tone and Balance:
 * The tone appears to be relatively neutral as the article serves to discuss facts rather than an argument as some articles may aim to do.
 * The content does not have any hints of bias. Sources and References:
 * The sources appear to be well crafted. The links do work and lead to several articles from established journals, indicating they are well edited sources. Organization and Writing Quality:
 * The article is well written, it involves sections that are well labeled. The text appears to have no grammatical errors. Images and Media:
 * There are a couple of images that show the structure of the subunits of the polymerase and the catalysis process. Talk Page:
 * It has a B-class and is a part of 2 wiki projects.
 * There are several critiques that involve confusing wording and possible images. Overall impressions: Overall, it was a moderate article. If I were to edit this article, I would perhaps add additional information.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Alpha helix
 * Article Evaluation
 * Lead section:
 * The lead section was well done as the leading sentence provides enough information to define the alpha helix.
 * However, the lead doesn't set up the rest of the article including any details regarding the history of its discovery. Content:
 * The article appears to be well-cited and up-to-date.
 * It doesn't serve any purpose to discuss equity gaps, and thus there are no discussions on these gaps.
 * The section on art appears to be a bit irrelevant as ones searching for definitions may not be searching for art but rather the science behind the structure. Tone and Balance:
 * The tone appears to be relatively neutral as the article serves to discuss facts rather than an argument as some articles may aim to do.
 * the content does heavily incorporate discussions about the discovery of the structure. This makes sense as the discovery in science is often an important role in studying biochemistry. It ensures that the background behind this structure is understood. Sources and References:
 * The sources appear to be well crafted. The links do work and lead to several articles from established journals, indicating they are well edited sources. Organization and Writing Quality:
 * The article is well written, it involves sections that are well labeled. The text appears to have no grammatical errors. Images and Media:
 * The images are very well done, one of the diagrams is an interactive diagram, one of them is a GIF that shows the full 3D molecule. The images are also placed in a visually pleasing manner. Talk Page:
 * It has a B-class and is part of 2 wiki projects.
 * There are several critiques in regards to amounts and the discovery portion of the article. There is a critique on the inclusion of the art section which I initially thought was unnecessary as well. Overall impressions: Overall, it was a well-developed article. I would say some portions of the article are unnecessary, such as the art sculptures.
