Option 1

 * Article title
 * Edinburg, North Dakota


 * Article Evaluation
 * The Article contains mainly Census data and does not acknowledge the Keystone Pipeline leak which occurred in 2019.
 * I can add the information missing about the impact the leak had on local agriculture and other environmental impacts.


 * Sources

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Shelby County, Alabama


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article mainly contains the Census data and communities which live in the county and have no mention of the oil spill which caused gas prices to spike and lead to further harm of local wildlife. The local wildlife is home to endangered species which mainly swim in the Cahaba River.
 * I believe the article should contain this as pipelines are important to be mentioned in a town which has one passing through it.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Cahaba River


 * Article Evaluation
 * The Cahaba River article contains information related to the wildlife and the history of the river but does not contain information about the Colonial Pipeline which run nearby. The pipeline has already leaked multiple times and threatens the endangered species mentioned in the article. In the water use portion of the article it also does not mention the rising concerns of the drinking potential due to the rising pollution in the river.
