Option 1

 * Article title
 * Neurosurgery


 * Article Evaluation
 * It is rated as Start class and high importance in the Epilepsy WikiProject. Its images could use some work with adding or changing captions. Also, some places say that Johns Hopkins is the birthplace of neurosurgery, and I think that should be reflected in the article.


 * Sources
 * The Special Field: A History of Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins, by Neil A. Grauer

Option 2

 * Article title
 * John Shaw Billings


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is rated C-class, and users on the talk page seem to think that some of the things the article says he created or founded need to be fact checked. Additionally, on the article page there is an alert that says the tone of the article may not reflect the encyclopedic tone used on Wikipedia.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Medical Gloves


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is rated Start class, mid importance by the Medicine WikiProject. Some of the information on the page seems unnecessary, such as the use of these gloves by criminals, which is immediately followed by the fact that these gloves are so thin that they can leave fingerprints through the glove, making them useless for criminals. On the Talk page, one user has mentioned that there should be a section or subsection on the colors of the gloves.
