Option 1:

 * Article title: Carmel-by-the-Sea, California:
 * Article Evaluation: This article is very well-written and contains a lot of information about Carmel, a city in California, with a beautiful beach that I used to love visiting as a child. I think one aspect that is lacking in this article is the more current state of Carmel - for example it does not mention the types of popular restaurants and whether they serve different kinds of seafood that is native to Carmel and California, so I think I can help edit here by describing more about the natural wildlife specific to Carmel and what birds migrate there. :

Option 2

 * Article title: Yosemite National Park :
 * Article Evaluation: This article, similar to Carmel by the Sea, does a very good job at including a lot of information about the history behind the Park but one thing it does even better than the Carmel by the Sea article is that it contains a lot more information about the nature located in Yosemite National Park. Ways I might be able to contribute to this article including information about a few trailheads I have hiked on at Yosemite. I would like to mention a few of the animals and birds I have seen. :

Option 3

 * Article title: Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary :
 * Article Evaluation: This article does not discuss bird migration patterns in this sanctuary and does not contain information about the differences between the different marine ecosystems present in this sanctuary, even though it does include a sentence saying "Supporting one of the world's most diverse marine ecosystems...," so I would make edits to this article by describing the nuances in the different marine ecosystems. :

Option 4

 * Article title: University of California Botanical Garden :
 * Article Evaluation: I have visited the botanical gardens a few times, and I would like to make some edits to this article by including more information about the types of nature you can see and experience as you hike to the botanical garden versus taking the bus there, for example. I would also like to edit this article by including more pictures - the garden is beautiful, but this article is lacking in the number of pictures. :

Option 5

 * Article title: Half Moon Bay, California :
 * Article Evaluation: This article contains a lot of good information about the sea ecosystem at Half Moon Bay but not enough information about the on-land ecosystem at Half Moon Bay, such as sand crabs and types of birds that loiter the beach. I want to focus on the gulls and sand crabs that inhibit Half Moon Bay. :
