American Tortoise Rescue

Article Evaluation
The American Tortoise Rescue article is rated as a stub-class article of low-importance. This article is apart of WikiProject Turtles. Finding more information on this topic was easier than I had thought, because in the past few hours of looking through articles, I couldn't find any more information on the topic besides the article on Wikipedia. It seems to be written in a neutral and informative tone, and although there isn't much information on the topic, they give a solid lead. The topic page first started in 2009, with it's last edit/revision being November of 2020. There aren't any images on the page, but after poking around in the websites about the organization, I found a few that would be suitable. The organization is still ongoing in 2022 and there is a lot more information to be listed in this article nowadays. The sources listed in the article are definitely outdated now, as the organization has grown and become much more popular than it used to be. There aren't many conversations in the talk page, since the article is very under-developed. Overall, this article could have a lot of potential now, and could probably be expanded much more.

Astronomy and spirituality
Article Evaluation
This article piqued my interest because I've always been very interested in Spirituality, and I also like learning about things that can connect to it. Overall, I found that this article was written by a student and is very under-developed. I also found that there was a previous copyright issue that had to be removed on the page. The sources that the editor provided were all personal experiences, and the one that seemed to be slightly reliable was the source from a book of letters. The article was started in December of 2019, and its last edit was made almost a month ago, so it is a more fresh topic than the American Tortoise Rescue article, but I think it would require a lot of time to expand the article, although there would be many interesting things to uncover. I think a history page would be cool, and to touch on older generations' experiences with the stars and spirituality, because I know that could be out there. Overall, there is a lot of potential in the ability to expand the article.
