Option 1

 * Article Title
 * Stinson Beach, California:
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article's content is very relevant to the topic, covering the historical context of the beach as well as the natural elements. It is written in a completely objective/neutral manner while most every claim has a reliable citation. While the article does mention demographics and racial makeup of the area it does not directly tackle one of Wikipedia's equity gaps. The lead sentence of the article is concise and includes all of the relevant information pertaining to the location and condition of the beach. Additionally, although there is relatively little content, it is cited quite well. For this article I might want to add to the cultural history portion.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Point Reyes
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article's content is relevant to the topic, covering a wide variety of historical events/figures along with the natural, meteorological, and geographic elements. It is written neutrally and tackles one of Wikipedia's equity gaps by commemorating the land for the Coast Miwok people. It has a whole section on their culture, practices, and interaction with colonials. Although it has a decent amount of reliable citations, more are needed as many have the "citation need" label. This article seems pretty complete but I might want to add to the natural history section and provide proper citations.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Bolinas California
 * Article Evaluation
 * As with the other articles, the content is relevant to the topic and similar to the Point Reyes it commemorates the Coast Miwok's right to the land. It is written semi-neutrally because the lead has a harsh tone when describing the residents' reclusiveness. Additionally, it has sparse but reliable citations. I might want to work on the cultural background, both currently and historically, because the reclusiveness of the current residents is intriguing.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Muir Beach
 * Article Evaluation
 * The content is relevant to the topic, neutrally written, and properly/reliably cited. It is a relatively short article that mostly covers demographics, geography, and climate. It does not tackle equity gaps. The lead is informative and encompasses the scope of the article. I might want to work on the cultural history if possible.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * California sea hare
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article's content is relevant to the topics, neutrally written, and reliably cited. However, it could do with more citations. Additionally, it does not tackle any equity gaps because the topic does not span human dynamics (it's a sea hare). The article is relatively brief, yet covers almost everything. I could work on behavior and use as a laboratory animal.
