Option 1

 * Article title
 * Stow, Massachusetts


 * Article Evaluation
 * I think the article is well constructed but overall lacks some key information. As mentioned in the "Talk" section, it lacks information on things like "places of worship" and detailed governmental information. Also, with apple orchards being the most significant point of tourism for the town, there's little to no information on these orchards. Certain claims, like the explanation of Rock Bottom, have no sources or citations.

Option 2

 * Article title Lake Boon
 * Article Evaluation
 * I think there's lots of issues with this article. Many times throughout the article there's stories references on anecdotal events of the history of the lake without direct sources backed. Also, the current day use of the lake is primarily recreational. I believe more information should be provided on current day utilization, as well as pages about the lifeguarding staff, various summer camps, and uses for the Pine Bluff recreational center that border the lake.

Option 3

 * Article title https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Penn_State_Dance_Marathon&redirect=no
 * Article Evaluation
 * As somebody extremely involved in THON, I'm genuinely shocked there's no official Penn State Dance MaraTHON wikipedia. This is the largest student run philanthropy in the world, and I feel it deserves it's own Wikipedia article. I would love to discuss the Logistics of this article with you if I were able to make this
