Option 1

 * Article title
 * Fault Gouge


 * Article Evaluation
 * Sentences could be reworded to provide clearer understanding. The topic is covered briefly and could be expanded upon. A better picture could be provided to help with the conceptual image. Citations are probably credible as they are all from published works or peer reviewed journals, however, they are not very accessible. There is no noticeable bias, but information is lacking overall.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Basin and Range Topography


 * Article Evaluation
 * For as large as this topic is, very little is discussed in the wikipedia article. However, there isn't noticeable bias and several credible citations are provided.
