Option 1

 * Article title:
 * Mille Lacs Lake
 * Article Evaluation
 * Content Relevance: A large lake in Minnesota with creek/river inflows and outflows will be susceptible to various biogeochemical processes- agricultural nutrient runoff, erosion of sulfates from mine drainage, turnover rate, etc. There is currently no section on the page for these processes, even though this information may be relevant to viewers, especially in the event of algal blooms/eutrophication during the summer tourist season.
 * Citations are reliable, but missing in some cases.
 * Article may relate to equity gaps in coverage of first nations people, but biogeochemistry may not touch on these particular subjects- perhaps discussions of manoomin and tribal rights will be brought up in relation to issues of mine drainage and sulfate pollution.

Option 2

 * Article title:
 * Trophic State Index
 * Article Evaluation
 * Content is highly relevant to the topic of biogeochemistry, dealing with nutrient loading in surface waters, primarily lakes. The section on mesotrophic bodies of water is sparse, linking to this section from the page on lake mille lacs would be relatively unhelpful without further information on this trophic state.
 * More seriously, the section on agricultural runoff driving eutrophication lacks adequate citations, despite this being an important and well researched subject in biogeochemistry and water quality research.
 * Equity gaps are unlikely to be addressed specifically by the topic of trophic states, but should not be ruled out- historically marginalized communities may encounter the consequences of pollution dumped upstream.

 * Does little more than give the definition of a polymictic lake.
