Option 1

 * Article title: Epic Systems
 * Article Evaluation: While the article's content is certainly relevant to the topic and is written neutrally for the most part, I believe first that the article needs updating. Most of the information comes from sources dating back to 2014 and 2015, which suggests that much could have changed over this half decade.  For example, in the talk page, someone recommended adding a section about Class Action Lawsuits, which would be very interesting to update and publish in relation to the data sharing concerns section.  However, I feel as if I would need to do more research to round out the data sharing section, as it seems like previous authors chose random countries to evaluate without hardly mentioning the US.  On a more visual note, there also should be a few more pictures added at my first evaluation.

Option 2

 * Article title: Teaching hospital
 * Article Evaluation: Upon first glance of the article, it seems as if this article "needs additional citations for verification" so the first thing I would need to do to improve this article is to fix any information that is not correctly cited. Moreover, I think it would be a great idea to have a section devoted to elaborating on the top teaching hospitals in the United States, rather than providing a link for a list of hospitals within the WikiProjects Medicine portal.  Since Hopkins is one of the major teaching hospitals in the U.S., that could certainly be a starting point.  Also the article needs more general info on what a teaching hospital is comprised of and looks like as compared to the current emphasis on the "in culture" section where it mentions shows like Grey's Anatomy.

Option 3

 * Article title: Patient portal
 * Article Evaluation: Right after finding this article, I was drawn to the notification on the top of the article noting that there are multiple issues with the article. First, I would need to verify multiple citation dating back to September 2017, which I could very well just update rather than look back to fix sources.  Moreover, "the examples and perspectives in this article deal primarily with the United States and do not represent a worldwide view of the subject."  Thus I could add a section mentioning the role of patient portals in Johns Hopkins Hospital and compare it to similarly prestigious hospitals in other countries.

Option 4


 * Article title: Harvey Cushing
 * Article Evaluation: Overall, the article is relevant to the topic and seems to be written neutrally while being well sources, but one of the main things I would change is the "Publications" section. First of all, I believe it would be nice to have an intro to start off a general summation of all his publications.  Then, since none of his publications have wikipedia pages of their own, it would be nice to provide a brief summary of the publications and provide links to the publications themselves. Moreover, there has been very minimal discussion on the talk page, despite the fact that the article has been graded a start-class.  Moreover, there is now a disease named after him (Cushing Disease) which is never mentioned in the article.

Option 5

 * Article title: John Shaw Billings
 * Article Evaluation: Unlike the other articles, this article seems to have a tone or style that "may not reflect the encyclopedic tone used on Wikipedia." Thus, I would first need to see Wikipedia's guide to writing better articles for suggestions.  Also, there are many talk page topics that have not been addressed.  For example, one important talk page comment was that "Billings was not the father of PHS" (Public Health Service).  This is a very important distinction that needs to be settled.  Moreover, given his importance to Johns Hopkins University, the affiliation section needs to be buffed up a bit.
