Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

 * Article title
 * Bioremediation


 * Article Evaluation
 * The talk page has multiple suggestions on updating references, since many citations on this page are over a decade old. There are also multiple claims that are missing citations. There also seems to be overrepresentation from too few sources. I think it would be beneficial to list subfields of bioremediation and the research that is taking place within those specific subfields.
 * ie soil remediation
 * microplastics removal
 * wastewater: pharmaceutical waste


 * Sources
 * https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpolbul.2020.111252
 * https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cej.2020.125657
 * https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gsd.2020.100383

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is very short and vague. It could benefit from more sources, clearly defined sections, and a concise overview of the agricultural, microbiological, and ecological implications of the topic.


 * Sources
 * Ruíz JC. 2019. Gene Editing and Systems Biology Tools for Pesticide Bioremediation : A Review. 10:1–13. doi: 10.3389/fmicb.2019.00087.

 * Zhongli C, Shunpeng L, Guoping F. 2001. Isolation of Methyl Parathion-Degrading Strain M6 and Cloning of the Methyl Parathion Hydrolase Gene. Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 67:4922–4925. doi: 10.1128/AEM.67.10.4922-4925.2001.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Gene Redundancy


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article has a stub class rating. There are very few sources and the research section is obviously stunted. I would focus expanding the section on the theory functionalization, then I would expand the research section by adding sources and subsections.

 * Article title
 * Gene Duplication


 * Article Evaluation
 * I think I would include more in this article about gene redundancy, which is the direct outcome of gene duplication. I would also add more recent studies and theoretical references under the section of "as an evolutionary event".


 * Sources
 * Lan X, Pritchard JK. 2016. Coregulation of tandem duplicate genes slows evolution of subfunctionalization in mammals. Science (80-. ). 352:1009–1013. doi: 10.1126/science.aad8411.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Evolution by Gene Duplication


 * Article Evaluation
 * I would focus on adding what is known about somatic mutation and the implications it has for understanding evolution by gene duplication and the varying fates of duplicate genes.


 * Sources
 * Lan X, Pritchard JK. 2016. Coregulation of tandem duplicate genes slows evolution of subfunctionalization in mammals. Science (80-. ). 352:1009–1013. doi: 10.1126/science.aad8411.
