Option 1

 * Article title
 * Anderson Park (Redmond, Washington)


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article contains The history of founding and renaming of the park with relevant dates listed. Geographic data includes the latitude and longitude of the park, measurement of area, city, state, country, and street address. There are three sources, all from relevant government and regulatory administrations which oversee the maintenance and record keeping of the park. The most significant area of improvement is that it is noted as having historical significance to the nation, yet no detail is given in the article. An addition of such content with relevant sources would assist in highlighting the relevance of the park. There was no talk page in regards to the article.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Crossroads, Bellevue


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article gave a history detailing the establishment and development of the neighborhood. Noteworthy was the relationship between the neighborhood and racial minorities, as it was noted that some of the earliest settlers were Japanese farmers, who were later displaced during the Internments of the World War Two era. There is a note that the neighborhood is now above 60% nonwhite, though the demographic data does not specify if this population is split between various groups, or which nonwhite groups reside in the community (ie: is this population African American, Japanese, and/or other groups predominately). It may be noteworthy to gather information on neighborhood landmarks, such as noteworthy parks, community centers, and local businesses.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Bothell Pioneer Cemetery


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article contained relevant geographic data, such as latitude, longitude, street address, city, state, and country. The history of the park being founded and listed on the National Register of Historic Places is noted. The historical significance itself is not listed, so a record of notable gravesites or events which took place in connection to the cemetery would add detail as to why the cemetery is a historical site.
