Option 1

 * Article title
 * Silver Islet


 * Article Evaluation
 * Article lacking large amounts of details regarding the geology of the area, and the mining exploration and practices itself. Very poorly cited article. Plenty of room for addition and improvement.


 * Sources
 * Difficult. Mostly in print. Historical data seems to be anecdotal. Some non-partial print may be available.
 * Excavating for a Mine: Silver Islet, 1868-2008 : 140th Anniversary, MacDonald, B., Porphyr Press., 2008.
 * Silver Under the Sea; the Story of the Silver Islet Mine Near Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada, Strickland, H. M., Cobalt, ON Highway Book Shop., 1979.
 * Silver Islet: Striking it Rich In Lake Superior., Barr, E., Singing Shield Productions., 2012.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Lake Superior Commercial Herring fishery (Could be added to different existing articles, could also be broadened to other Great Lakes as well)


 * Article Evaluation
 * Information on wikipedia comprehensive regarding biology of species, completely lacking commercial fishing detail.


 * Sources
 * https://www.ocfa.ca/fisheries-industry/fisheries-statistics (MNR harvest statistics)
 * Anderson, E. D., & Smith Jr, L. L. (1971). Factors affecting abundance of lake herring (Coregonus artedii Lesueur) in western Lake Superior. Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, 100(4), 691-707.
 * https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/code/admin_code/nr/001/25/06 Wisconsin Commercial Herring Quotas
 * + more... plenty on ecological issues and harvest methods. Cultural and economic importance can be investigated.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Red Lake Mine


 * Article Evaluation
 * Very concise, and comprehensive as well. All beef, no fat. Potentially room for additional details, a geology section could be appropriated to the article, as well as an economical section, and perhaps even a historical section, as opposed to one comprehensive body section. This seems like it could potentially be overkill, but could be beneficial.
