Option 1

 * Article title
 * Rock cycle
 * Article Evaluation
 * Article Evaluation

This article has a lot of good information but almost all of it is not backed up by in text citations. I will read through the 4 sources listed in the reference section and attempt to add citations in a proper way as well as adding additional sources that I find when needed, such as the few I list below. This article was rated as a high-importance article but C-class in quality so improving it is important. The grammar however is good and the way they separated the information into different sections was well done and made the information flow nicely.

2. Siegel, F. R. (2002). Environmental geochemistry of potentially toxic metals. Springer.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Kursk Magnetic Anomaly
 * Article Evaluation
 * Article Evaluation

Just as I stated previously, this article needs more sources to be added to be improved. All the information is derived from one source and the images could also be improved since there are better ones online.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Rock Mechanics
 * Article Evaluation
 * Article Evaluation

This article has very little information on the topic and lacking some in text citations. It is rated of Mid-importance but Stub-class so improvement to it is necessary. I will aim to use the sources I found to expand on what Rock mechanics are and add any crucial information as well as edit the citations to properly reference all the information being presented. The grammar is good but there is only a background section then all additional information is put under the "See also" section when I feel like a new section can be added instead.

I will most likely be picking this as my article to work on.
