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
 * Treatment of Cancer


 * Article Evaluation
 * Start class--Wikipedia says that the article relies too heavily on primary sources, and I could use some books that I've read on cancer like "The Emperor of All Maladies," which I think would quality as a good source according to the MEDRS. I think I could reasonably edit the therapy sections with knowledge from those books, but I don't think I can comment on other topics like the racial and social disparities, for example.


 * Sources
 * The Emperor of All Maladies by Siddhartha Mukherjee
 * When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi
 * Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters In the End by Atul Gawande

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Oxidation of primary alcohols to carboxylic acids

 * https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F0-387-35432-8_4

Option 3

 * Article title
 * High-altitude adaptation in humans


 * Article Evaluation
 * B class, but I think I may have some things to offer thanks to the systems physiology class I took last semester.


 * Sources
 * Textbook from last semester

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Teamfight Tactics


 * Article Evaluation
 * S class--I play this game at a relatively high level, and while it's kind of unknown, it falls under the umbrella of a larger category of games. I think I could contribute solely from my


 * Sources
 * My own games & streamers

Option 5

 * Article title
 * YAP1


 * Article Evaluation
 * no evaluation yet--my lab primarily researches in knocking out this protein and what its downstream effects are. I could write about my lab's current work on discovering different phosphorylation sites and what they do.


 * Sources
 * Not sure: not much secondary literature has been posted on this, but I could start with some primary sources.
