Option 1

 * Article title
 * Apatite


 * Article Evaluation
 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic?
 * Not all, there is some information about fluorine in water supplies that's not necessarily important to this specific article
 * Is it written neutrally?
 * Yes
 * Does each claim have a citation?
 * No, there is a lot of missing citations
 * Are the citations reliable?
 * No, some are bare URL's which only link via URL with no other information about the source.
 * There are some reliable sources however from reputable journals and sites
 * Does the article tackle one of Wikipedia's equity gaps (coverage of historically underrepresented or misrepresented populations or subjects)?
 * No, this page focuses on the mineral Apatite
 * Check out the article's Talk page to see what other Wikipedians are already contributing. Consider posting some of your ideas to the article's Talk page, too
 * Other's agree some of the wording is hard to comprehend- information could be relayed in a more accessible way
 * Information needs an update

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Chalcopyrite


 * Article Evaluation
 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic?
 * Yes, however key information is missing such as more details on chalcopyrite as a resource and how copper is extracted from it
 * Is it written neutrally?
 * Yes
 * Does each claim have a citation?
 * No, some claims are missing citations (for example, extraction of copper reaction)
 * Are the citations reliable?
 * For the most part no. A lot are from websites, more primary sources are needed
 * Does the article tackle one of Wikipedia's equity gaps (coverage of historically underrepresented or misrepresented populations or subjects)?
 * No, discusses the ore mineral chalcopyrite
 * Check out the article's Talk page to see what other Wikipedians are already contributing. Consider posting some of your ideas to the article's Talk page, too
 * Only one post about formatting. People are not active on the talk page

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Beryl


 * Article Evaluation
 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic?
 * Yes however there is information lacking. For instance it's health effects section is underdeveloped and there is a lack of information regarding mining and processing
 * Is it written neutrally?
 * yes
 * Does each claim have a citation?
 * Relatively well cited
 * Are the citations reliable?
 * For the most part it relies on websites. More primary sources are required
 * Does the article tackle one of Wikipedia's equity gaps (coverage of historically underrepresented or misrepresented populations or subjects)?
 * N/A
 * Check out the article's Talk page to see what other Wikipedians are already contributing. Consider posting some of your ideas to the article's Talk page, too
 * Lots of people talk about the gemology aspect of Beryl but not beryl as a resource
 * People want the mining aspect more developed and to discuss beryl's use in the metal industry
