Option 1

 * Article title Pseudoword
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is overall well written and fairly complete. It could use more citations and be reworded so that it is not drawing conclusions. It could also use a section on deterministic sources. The sources/references are older for the most part and all of the discussion sections are over 5 years old.

Option 3

 * Article title Minimal Pair
 * Article Evaluation
 * Most of the sources in this article are older (only 4 out of 20 are from the 21st century). The links to the sources do work, but there seems to be a fair amount of repeat authors. A strength of the article is providing examples of different minimal pair types in a variety of languages. The sign language section and the minimal sets seem like they could be expanded upon. A lot of discussion has occured in the Talk section but it has not be active recently.
