Option 1

 * Article title
 * Alaska Peninsula


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article appears to have no bias and has multiple reliable citations that lead to more information about the Alaskan Peninsula. The Alaskan Peninsula article covers one of Wikipedia's equity gaps as it is not a highly covered subject. The talk page suggests adding information about the smaller Alaskan peninsulas such as the Kenai and Seward Peninsulas.


 * Sources
 * Seward Peninsula
 * Kenai Peninsula

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Aleutian Islands


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is broken up into clear sections describing many important features of the Aleutian Islands. All the information is also neutral and relevant to the topic of the Aleutian Islands with multiple citations leading to reliable sources. The talk page discusses finding more information on the specific islands including where they are with coordinates. I would also add a bit more about the culture and history of the people living on these islands.


 * Sources
 * Aleut
 * Unalaska Island
 * Spruce Island (Alaska)
 * Kodiak Island

Option 3

 * Article title
 * 2019 Iditarod


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article gives some information on the Iditarod from 2019; however, there isn't much background information which could be helpful. There is information on who was racing and times for the first 3 finishers of the race. The information provided is unbiased and discusses and underrepresented part of Alaskan culture.

 * Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race
 * Iditarod Trail

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Junior Iditarod


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article gives lots of information about the history of the Junior Iditarod which began in 1977. The information is clear and additionally, there is information specifically about the race in 2005. While the information is relevant to the topic, it would be helpful to have more information about how the Junior Iditarod works in comparison to the regular Iditarod.
