Option 1

 * Article title
 * Battle of Matewan


 * Article Evaluation
 * This page has good content that is relevant to the topic in hand. However you may be able to see a little bias when writing about certain topics. Also there are no citations when making a statement. The only links we see are links to other wiki pages. There are a few good resources but some may be questionable as to their reliability.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * New River Gorge National Park and Preserve


 * Article Evaluation
 * In some sections this article needs more citations for information that is in the article. Nothing about the famous bungee jumping off the New River Gorge bridge. There is some resources that are linked to writers, that may be all they had to work with but will check for more reliable sources.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Monongah mining disaster


 * Article Evaluation
 * The two sections that are written are informational but the article is missing something. Also under the rescue attempts section there is information about a Italian town creating a memorial for the Italian miners working there. This should have it's own section as there is nothing to do with a rescue attempt in that paragraph. Instead maybe make a section about memorials. All around just needs a cleanup of what's in the article and maybe a new section on what this explosion led to.
