Option 1

 * Article title
 * Yunaska Island (Yunaska Island)


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is currently a neutral, two-paragraph stub article. The first paragraph lists general information about its size and location in the Aleutians, while the second paragraph mentions that there is a couple volcanoes on the island, but doesn't go into too much detail or specifics. Definitely room for improvement if enough information can be found regarding the volcanism and general information about the island. Article as a whole could do with more citations.

 * Miller, T., McGimsey, R. and Richter, D., 1998. Catalog of the Historically Active Volcanoes of Alaska. USGS, pp.69-70.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Islands of Four Mountains


 * Article Evaluation
 * A broader version of the Yunaska Island article, instead focusing on the number of islands that make up this particular portion of the Aleutians. Short, neutral tone, two-paragraph article detailing the location and general facts about the region, but without much talk of the actual volcanoes and volcanology present throughout the islands. Could be good to expand upon the volcanology (compare, contrast, etc.) present in the region, if appropriate information can be found. Miller et al 1998 lists brief info on Kagimil, Cleveland, Yunaska, Amukta, and Carlisle volcanoes. Each of these also appears to already have their own brief article on Wikipedia already, albeit not linked to the Four Mountains article directly.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Central America Volcanic Arc


 * Article Evaluation
 * A two-paragraph stub article, neutral in tone, that talks about the volcanism present along the coasts of Central America. Discrepancy between title of "Central America..." and body of text noting "Central American..". The article briefly mentions and links to the pages of some of the numerous volcanoes found there, but doesn't give too much information in the article itself, instead relying on the links to provide information, it seems. Tectonics and subduction as the driving force behind these volcanoes is also briefly mentioned in the first paragraph. No citations are present in the body of the article at all.
