Option 1

Article title
Nidovirales
Article Evaluation
Article is rated a class C but of high importance so could use some updating since the virus is becoming a big research topic in the reptile community and research has been done but is heavily being worked on . The article is missing updated info. They do not show anything about specific species it has been found in and what symptoms it causes in animals. It seems like there could be more cited data within the article. The sources used do look very reputable though.

Option 2

Article title
Equine coat color genetics
Article Evaluation
The article is rated as high priority but a class C. It needs more references to be more accurate but references available are strong and good quality. The article looks like it was written pretty neutral with the recent research that has occurred. KIT mutations could be talked about for the white coat color but it has multiple forms. Also tobiano coat color genetics and what causes them could be added.

Option 3

[edit]
Article title
Horse genome
Article Evaluation
This article is considered high importance but at start class so it needs some updates and work. The article needs many references. The last time the page was updated was in 2017 and could possibly have some information updated about coat color genetic and what else has been found. Updates on full genome sequences that have occurred now and other breeds sequenced would be good to add. Also commenting on the whole genome project related to horses may help as well.
