Option 1

 * Article title
 * Sand skiing


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article could use work because it consists only of a lead paragraph giving a brief overview of the topic. There is little substance or content to the article; however, it is neutral and doesn't show bias towards a particular opinion. It is concise and easy to read, but could be expanded with more of a history of the topic. The sources seem to be a little outdated (some of them 10 years old).

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Aqua cycling


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is extremely short, only consisting of a couple of sentences. It is very straightforward, establishing the topic right away and being unbiased. However, it can be expanded by going deeper into the history of the sport, how it can be beneficial to humans and its differences/similarities to outdoor cycling or other water aerobic workouts. The sources are relatively up to date.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Stonemasters


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article stub has a good introductory lead, explaining who the Stonemasters were without bias. The article could be expanded to explain the group's and name's origins, as well as particular instances or accomplishments related to the Stonemasters in the sport of climbing. The current article is unbiased and concise, only providing baseline facts.
