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
 * Overmedication


 * Article Evaluation
 * It has a banner that lists some issues, including questioning its neutrality and the number of sources. It focuses mainly on children, and specifically mental illnesses with children. I'd like to add sections on adults (perhaps divided by race and gender), and at least one section on physical conditions.


 * Sources
 * There are some articles on overmedication of adults with epilepsy and diabetes. I would also likely connect it to overmedication of painkillers for physical injuries, although will mainly use that section to provide links to already written articles on opioid abuse.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Birth control pill formulations


 * Article Evaluation
 * More citations. I'm not sure if there is specifically a birth control pill for men, but if so I would add a section on that.


 * Sources
 * Planned Parenthood and the HHS Department will likely provide the most helpful information for the pieces requiring citations. The NIH seems to be behind the most recent iteration of the male birth control pill, so they'll probably provide the most information, as well as some news articles from places like the Washington Post.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Drug rehabilitation


 * Article Evaluation
 * It's focused on the United States, but it doesn't really say that. I'd like to add that to the intro, as well as providing information about treatment in other countries.


 * Sources
 * UK source - https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S030646030000174X
 * India - https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/09540260310001635177
 * I'm not sure what other countries I'll add, and those definitely won't be the only two sources I use for the UK and India.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Opioid use disorder


 * Article Evaluation
 * This is another article that talks a lot about the United States, but lacks information from other countries, specifically in the epidemiology section.


 * Sources
 * I'll reference the sources listed above, as well as some from WHO and the UN Office of Drugs and Crime (specifically their World Drug Report 2019)

Option 5
