Article Selection[edit]
Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.
Option 1[edit]
- Article title
- Spores
- Article Evaluation
- The article is a good start to spores (this is also it's classification on wiki). However, I think the information could be organized better; specifically the classification of the spores. In addition, the article needs significantly more citations; most of the edits go uncited here. To add on, I believe there could be a better use of images to depict what the article is explaining. Finally, I believe there should be some edits either made to the existing dispersal and external anatomy page to support the claim made in the beginning of the article that spores aid in reproduction.

Option 2[edit]
- Article title
- Seychelles gulper shark
- Article Evaluation
- This article is a stub. It barely has any information and little sources. To improve the article it would be necessary to find more information and to edit it so the wiki page of this specific shark more closely resembles the wiki page of other shark species.
- Sources
- Upon searching for articles I found there was little to no information about this shark species. I will be choosing a different article for my wiki evaluation
Option 3[edit]
- Article title
- Pycnogonidae
- Article Evaluation
- This article is also a stub. It needs more work on all sections of its project. It also needs a better lead and more pictures.
- Sources
Option 4[edit]
- Article title
- Breeding for drought stress tolerance
- Article Evaluation
- This article contains a decent amount of information however, most of it is not cited. There would need to be signficant work on the bibliogrpahy portion of the article and it would need to be be further researched. In addition, the lead section is very short and does not give much information as to what breeding for drought stress tolerance involves.

Option 5[edit]
- Article title
- Electrophoresis
- Article Evaluation
- The article goes into little depth considering the important electrophoresis has in biochemistry. There could be additional sections added on the uses of gel electrophoresis, significant discoveries that have been made using it, as well as the different types of gel electrophoresis (because there is a lot). The theory section seems good.
