Option 1

Article title

Hammock (ecology)

Article Evaluation

This article has citation errors and is potentially plagiarized. It is also quite short, with multiple sections that are also short—perhaps the can be consolidated or rethought. There was a helpful list posted in the ‘Talk’ tab though that suggested some topics/sources to improve the article, which would probably be helpful!

Option 2

Article title

Ecosystem Collapse

Article Evaluation

This page is mainly just very short, which seems wrong for such a potentially broad topic. It also has a few plagiarism issues.

Option 3

Article title

Tidal Marsh

Article Evaluation

This article is pretty short, but the subtopics seem pretty well thought out, so I think this one would be more about just fleshing the information out. There was some dispute in the ‘Talk’ tab about the definition of a tidal marsh and it’s distinction from a salt marsh, so that may be something to clear up while updating it.

Option 4

Article title

Biospeleology

Article Evaluation

A few parts of this page are relatively fleshed out, but others are very sparse. Many of the subcategories on the page only consist of one sentence, so those would definitely need some attention. I do think it might be an interesting topic to become more familiar with, though!
