Option 1

 * Article title
 * Myristica fragrans


 * Article Evaluation
 * Does not include anything about the medical use of the herb. It provides a good introduction and references but it does not give a lot of context and information in general about the herb itself. Mostly describes the plant but is overall a very brief summary without going into lots of detail. Images are all to the side and below the actual information, all of them are quite similar that they show the tree/plant itself.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Nutmeg


 * Article Evaluation
 * Does not discuss any possible medicinal uses but gives a good overview of the herb itself. Gives a lot of details about how/where it is grown and also provides basic details about its effects on the body. Provides details on its toxicity and provides a good amount of references that are pretty recent. The lead provides a decent overview but could go over the following contents a bit more. The images are placed nicely and are relevant, and there is a good overall organization of the article. There is a lot of information focused on the history and could use more information on the effects it has and can bring up traditional Chinese medicine as a whole. There is no bias towards any certain position regarding this topic.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Myristicin


 * Article Evaluation
 * Provides a concise lead that provides an understanding of the compound itself. The uses do not discuss any human uses and it is only briefly mentioned in the physiological effects. There can be more detail about how it is involved in certain herbs and give a more general overview in the lead without focusing too much on one part of the compound. Images are all placed to the right side and are all mere chemical compounds.
