Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

 * Chiquihuite cave
 * The introduction concisely lays out what the site is, but it could be improved by adding information about the significance of the site. Overall, the article includes many claims that lack proper citations. Many of the sections include basic information, but I think it could be expanded past the basic fact that there was research to talk about what the findings of the research included. The context section could be aided by more connection to the cave itself. Right now, it reads as contradictory to the previous paragraph.

 * Much of the work to be done on this article involves findings citations from the journal articles that are already listed.

Option 2
Cactus Hill
 * The "site integrity" section needs the most work in terms of citations. The controversy section could be expanded to include more evidence for both sides of the debate. Adding pictures to the discovery section or a diagram about sand and stratigraphy could improve the article and make it more interactive.
