Option 1

 * Crystalline silicon - Start class, high importance in Energy:
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article explores many aspects of crystalline silicon including its formation, industry, and use in photovoltaic cells. It is neutral. The issue with it is that many citations are just URLs, and a few sections have no citations whatsoever. This is mentioned in the talk page but a large discussion is absent.

Option 2

 * Crystallography - Start class, high importance in Chemistry and Rocks and minerals:
 * Article Evaluation
 * Wikipedia is calling for more information about the history and developmental figures of crystallography. However, looking at the page, there is a huge list of "Notable scientists" with no additional information about them. Maybe that's what people want to fix. The talk section discussion is mostly from the 2000s, so it's difficult to tell what is still an issue, but edits have been made at recent as this month, though they are sparse. The article does not go into very much detail and I think the notation and a section about performing crystallography could be added. Also, there are only 5 citations throughout the page, so the article needs more sources.:

Option 3

 * Silicate perovskite - Start class, high importance in Rocks and minerals:
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is fairly short. It is well cited and no glaring problems have been mentioned in the talk page, but I think it could use more information if I am able to find any, due to the importance of this article. The short length may be due to overlap with the Perovskite (structure) and Perovskite. :

Option 4

 * Salt metathesis reaction - Start class, top importance in Chemistry:
 * Article Evaluation
 * It is so short! I think the content is lacking of information, it reads more like a first level chemistry textbook introduction than an encyclopedia entry. I think there should be more mentions of modern reactions that use salt metathesis. The talk page also indicates that information is missing, and I think in 2012 there was a move that took out a decent chunk of the article. Citations are all good for the information presented so far.:
