Option 1

 * Article title
 * Radiation oncologist

I choose this article because is the profession I want to practice in a future. The Radiation oncologist is not a famous specialty in the camps of medicine, but it is just as important as the other professions. Unlike other articles this one does not contain much information on the subject. The content is short and concise, should cover more on this topic. In the start of the article we can see the introductory sentence with describe the information of the topic. Some of the information they should add are the machinery they use to provide this treatment, the importance and some side effects of it. Also the tone and balance are very neutral and have some point underrepresented, but the article is well written and is clear and easy to read. Another point is this article don't have any photo making this article less interesting. The sources and references are only two making the article scarce in information, also both of the references are not valid. Finally this article is rated as Start-Class on the project quality scale and also rated as Low-importance on project's importance scale.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Medical specialty


 * Article Evaluation
 * Of the three article I choose this is the most issues have. In the talk page some of the problems in the article is the citations, the information of the salary and source and also some links that had to be modified. Also this article is rated as Class-C article and have and need attention from an expert of medicine. However this article have some strengths; the form of the content is organized, the tables with each salary are in a clear and concise way and the information of each country. This article have more up-to-date information, because there are many things in some fields of medicine that have changed and also add others specialities to the tables.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Cancer


 * Article Evaluation
 * Of the three articles I chose, this is the most prepared, clear, descriptive and conscientious. It also has a good structure, organization and information suitable for the learning from other people. Have a good introductory sentence and the information is easy to understand and it is also written in a good tone and balance for the reader. The best thing about this article is that it is well detailed, it explains what cancer is, its symptoms, the causes, the different treatments and even what happens when a woman is pregnant. All this information makes it a complete article. On the other hand the sources of this articles are good, have many sources and references in which you can enter to corroborate all this important information.
