Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

 * Article title
 * Shadow Zone


 * Article Evaluation
 * The current article is lacking in detail of what both a P wave and S wave shadow zone is. The article is quite brief, and is in one blocky paragraph. It would benefit from more citations, article headers/sections, and more details on what shadow zones are.


 * Sources
 * Sources to add onto the current five sources already there:
 * https://www.iris.edu/hq/inclass/animation/seismic_shadow_zone_basic_introduction
 * https://www.iris.edu/hq/inclass/animation/seismic_shadow_zones_s_wave_shadow_zone
 * https://doi.org/10.1029/TR038i004p00529
 * https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2478.1975.tb00685.x

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Black Volcano


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is only a couple of sentences and could really benefit with more information. It is part of the the New Mexico stub, which means it is lacking detail. It has no citations.


 * Sources
 * https://www.nps.gov/petr/planyourvisit/volcanoes.htm
 * https://www.summitpost.org/black-volcano/758405
 * https://www.usgs.gov/media/images/black-volcano-petroglyph-national-monument
 * https://nmnaturalhistory.org/volcanoes/albuquerque-basin-volcanic-field

Option 3

 * Article title
 * JA Volcano


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article only contains one citation and has minimal detail about the volcano. It has one excerpt from a news article in the 1950s that does not pertain to the volcano. It could really benefit from more research.


 * Sources
 * https://www.nps.gov/petr/planyourvisit/volcanoes.htm
 * https://www.summitpost.org/ja-volcano/758407
 * https://www.usgs.gov/media/images/ja-volcano-petroglyph-national-monument

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Ocate Peak


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article, like the other New Mexico volcanoes in this evaluation, is lacking detail and citations. One out of three of the citations is from a blog post. This article could really benefit from additional research and citations, as it is part of the New Mexico stub.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * The Ash Pit


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article only has three sentences and two citations. It is in dire need of more information. It is a British of Columbia stub, meaning it needs more information and sources to be a valuable article.
