Option 1

 * Article title: Santa Monica Mountains :
 * Article Evaluation:
 * The archeology and geology sections of this article are fairly short and I think they could be expanded upon. This article is missing sources for its climate section. The fauna section of the article could use additional organization as it seems sort of disjointed currently, and I think information on a few other local birds, mammals, and insects could be added since it primarily focuses on a few species. Current page has a C rating and banner at the top requests more citations be added.:

Option 2

 * Article title: Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve:
 * Article Evaluation:
 * This article is currently listed as a "Start-Class" article and only has one listed source. There does not seem to be much listed on the flora, fauna, or climate of the reserve. There is also little mention of the tourism prominent on the reserve.:

Option 3

 * Article title: Ridgway's rail :
 * Article Evaluation:
 * This article is currently listed as C-class. This article is missing more in depth information on the behavior, feeding, and ecology of the ridgway's rail. Some of this information has been grouped into the habitats section so I think reorganization could be useful for clarity. :
