Article title
Phacellophora camtschatica
Article Evaluation
This article has the start of a lead. However, it does not contain a brief description of the article's major sections. It lacks enough information and does not offer enough. The content of this article is relevant to the topic, but relatively old. Additionally, more content is needed to complete this article. The tone of the article is neutral, with no bias. The article is lacking sources, additionally sources are somewhat older, but still work. This article is poorly, if at all, organized. No sections exist making it not enjoyable to read. Images and media need to be used more to help the article. Article is rated as a start by two WikiProjects. Though, not much is happening in the talk section. Overall, this article needs a lot of work done.

Option 2

Article title
Chrysaora fuscescens
Article Evaluation
Article contains some spelling/grammatical errors that needs to be changed. Though, most of the content is relevant to the topic. However, few sources are used, leading to claims missing citations. The tone of the article is neutral and the article contains a variety of information. Content is present, but could be improved upon. Several sections are far to short and need to be expanded upon. Finally, sources should be changed and more primary sources should be used.

Aurelia aurita
Article Evaluation
Full of easy to read content that is neutral and unbiased. Contains lots of sources from reputable sources, though some statements are made without citation. Structure and organization are relatively good, but is missing some important sections. Could also use some more diverse media/pictures.
