Option 1

 * Article title
 * Mercury cycle


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is written neutrally and with many reliable sources, but there is very little content on the page. It could benefit from more discussion of mercury cycling in specific regions (the role of sea ice in the mercury cycle in high latitudes). It could also benefit from more discussion about how the uptake of mercury at lower trophic levels makes its way up the food web to higher trophic levels (humans included).

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Arctic ecology


 * Article Evaluation
 * What exists already in this article is well-sourced and informative. There is very little discussion of the ecology of the ocean itself or important components of the ecosystem such as sea ice or land ice.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Sediment transport


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is good (B-class), however it lacks much discussion of sea ice and glacial ice sediment transport. It could be really interesting to either add to this article or create a separate article if possible, which focuses on Arctic sea ice and/or glacial ice sediment transport.
