Option 1

 * Respiratory Syncytial Virus
 * Article Evaluation: This article has a solid foundation, especially in terms of virology and other information for scientists and clinicians, but I believe it could use some editing / cleaning up / addition of information for the general public. Due to recent surges in infection, I think this article is essential to public health. Currently rated as B-class, high importance.

Option 2

 * Neonatal Infection
 * Article Evaluation: This article has a solid list of potential causes of neonatal infection; however, the information provided for each disease significantly varies. For example, the hepatitis section is very detailed and well-sourced compared to Zika, HSV, or CMV which are only a few sentences long. By expanding these sections to provide an excellent, succinct summary for each neonatal infection, this page could be an effective tool for clinicians and patients concerned about neonatal infection. Currently rated as C-class, high importance

Option 3

 * Human Parainfluenza Virus
 * Article Evaluation: Following with the theme of pediatric infections, this article contains a solid classification and virology of the subtypes of human parainfluenza viruses. However, as the #2 cause of pediatric infections requiring hospital admissions, I feel like this article is lacking substantial, easily accessible information for patients and parents infected with this virus. Currently rated as C-class, mid importance.
