Option 1

 * Article title
 * Social Anxiety


 * Article Evaluation
 * Has been rated as c-class and of high importance. Therefore, it has some good information but still needs work on gathering sources and checking credibility of them. It also needs some more information added as it's a bit sparse in some sections. Some places could maybe use a rewrite. There could be more information on how it develops, or why some experience it.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Handedness


 * Article Evaluation
 * This seems like an interesting article. It's rated as C status and low importance. Because of this, there could be material in the article that is irrelevant to the topic and therefore could be taken out and replaced with more important information regarding it. There definitely could be more things added to what causes left or right handedness biologically or what some contributing factors are. It goes very in depth into left handedness in sports which seems pretty unnecessary. There are an incredible amount of sources, so I think going though them to check if they're all credible and necessary would be good.

 * https://psycnet.apa.org/record/1997-30055-003

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Human Behavior Genetics


 * Article Evaluation
 * There is not a lot of information within this article at all, so I definitely think it could be improved upon. It needs a lot more information on the science behind it, considering it's a topic on how humans inherit behaviors. It's rated as start-class mid-importance, so could certainly use some working on. Not a lot of sources referenced.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Galapagos Penguin


 * Article Evaluation
 * There are lots of good photos, but he page definitely needs more information. Sources are also very limited as well, so it's hard to see where the past editors got their information. It even specifically states at the top that a lot of the sources need verification, and sources need to be added. It was also last edited in 2017, so it could use some updating. It's start-class and of low-importance.

 * https://www.researchgate.net/publication/291097721_Adaptation_of_Galapagos_Penguins_for_Life_in_Two_Different_Environments

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Evolution of the domesticated cat


 * Article Evaluation
 * Rated C-class so has relatively good sources but still needs improvement and cleaning up. It's also rated mid-importance. There's not a lot of information within each category, so adding more information on the topic could be useful. There's also a lot of sources, so going through those to make sure all of them are reliable is probably needed.
