Option 1

 * Article title - London Library
 * Article Evaluation:
 * Overview:
 * The article is generally well structured & is well written. It is part of WikiProjects London. It contains lots of sources for a wide variety of factual evidence surrounding the library and its history. The notability is made clear by the article - specifically regarding the people who have worked there or used the library as a resource. The article is very well structured into clear and precise sections and subsections. I would assume that the article is rated as C Class due to what is considered to be irrelevant information that they feel would require a clean up.

Option 2

 * Article title - Cresta Run
 * Article Evaluation: Hand-Annotated Version of the Current Wikipedia Page: Cresta Run Wikipedia.jpg
 * Overview:
 * Part of WikiProjects Switzerland
 * Article rated low in importance but is still notable
 * The shoddy quality of article undermines/undersells importance to wintersports
 * Article is rated C in quality
 * Article is poorly written; lacks sources; possesses a number of inaccuracies regarding the contend
 * Lead Section:
 * Lead section is muddled and contains a miscommunication of information surrounding the nature of the run
 * Specifically relating towards the differences between modern day Skeleton-bob and Cresta Riding - the distinction has to be made clear for the whole article to be read in context
 * There is an abundance of information in the lead section which is not necessary and would be better suited to the main body/sections of the article rather than the lead section
 * Should be shorter, more precise, and explain why. it is notable:
 * St Moritz being the recognised home of what became winter tourism and winter sports
 * The Cresta being a foundational aspect in St Moritz's role and being the precursor/founder of the modern-day olympic bob-luge and skeleton
 * Also the world's oldest amateur sports club
 * Structure:
 * Structure is muddled
 * Aspects of the text which are included in some section that would be better suited in another
 * Differentiating between the sporting and engineering aspect of the run and the club that is intrinsically linked to it
 * Would be better to make clear what the relationship between the two actually is.
 * Content and Sources:
 * The article is poorly written - it is muddled and at times unclear
 * Clarity is key for a subject which has much of its own terminology and possesses strange traditions
 * The Notability of the article will not be made adequately clear unless the article or content itself is clearly expressed for all to see why the subject in question is notable.
 * The content should be reorganised in its structure and additional necessary detail should be added.
 * The article requires re-citing from a wider range of sources. Whether it be news articles or books which recount the history of the run itself.
 * Personal in-depth knowledge of the subject having worked there and learnt in detail about the history allows me to evaluate the sources regarding accuracy.
 * A number of little anecdotes which can be added e.g. Trudeau Senior decided to try it whilst Prime Minister of Canada - much to the chagrin of his bodyguards - while on an economic summit & taking a detour to visit the Canadian Ski team which was competing in the FIS world championship. They advised him that if he really wanted to do something fun he should try out the Cresta.
 * Some of the address danger - previous deaths → I have some old news clippings from 1907 etc.
 * Use old blue peter video/footage
 * Published by the BBC
