Option 1

[edit]
Article title: Inertia (anxiety)
Article Evaluation: This article is listed under the "stubs" category and is actively seeking editors to help make the article fit the compliance need of Wikipedia. This article is also not very in-depth and needs more background information. It lists the more basic aspects of inertia, but it needs to have more reliable sources with more professional-based insights included.
Sources: This article has six sources, three of which are from more reputable sites, such as ".org."

Option 2

[edit]
Article title: Isomorphism (Gestalt psychology)
Article Evaluation: This article has a good foundation, in that its' claims have citations attached and the information is all relative to the topic. It defines the term "isomorphism" and relates how it ties into Gestalt principles. I do think, however, that the article should expand more in depth on the Gestalt principles and give better insight into the Gestalt theory, as well as provide examples.
Sources: This article has five sources, of which most appear to be fairly reliable sources. One source in particular has a ".net", so that may not be as reliable, but the majority of the sources have ".edu."

Option 3

[edit]
Article title: Mind Projection Fallacy
Article Evaluation: This article has good content; it sights professionals to help define and explain what mind projection fallacy is. It uses lots of citations and all the information listed is relative to the topic. I feel as though this topic should be discussed more in depth, though. Perhaps some examples or first-hand accounts could be added to this article.
Sources: This article has two sources listed under "references," but it also has three more listed under "see also" that are embedded in the article. I think that this article has a lot of good sources and quality information provided--it could just be expanded upon for a better grasp of the topic in general.
