Option 1

 * Weathering Hypothesis
 * This article provides a good base point for an individual looking for a quick explanation of the gist of the Weathering Hypothesis. However, in order to present a more comprehensive picture of the theory, how it originated, the evidence supporting it and how it has been applied today, it is necessary for more sections to be added to the article and further research to be done.
 * The lead section is extremely concise and could use some restructuring in order to have a more informative introductory sentence. The lead section also addresses topics related to the weathering hypothesis, which are not brought up again in the subsequent sections of the article.
 * The current content of the article is unbalanced and lacking, as well as more heavily concentrated on the origin of the theory.
 * The article's content could use some updating and restructuring.
 * It could be useful to add sections about evidence supporting the weathering hypothesis and subsections regarding the significant social and cultural issues that the weathering hypothesis has been applied to.
 * When considered as a whole, the sources cited in this article are lacking and need to be updated.
