Option 1

 * Echinomastus johnsonii
 * Article Evaluation
 * While the article has a lead and content that is relevant to the topic at hand, each claim is not supported by a valid citation. The article doesn't necessarily tackle one of Wikipedia's equity gaps. The one cited source is reputable but not necessarily current or validated by multiple people. While there are no grammatical or spelling errors, the article is very short and thus all information about the cactus is condensed into one section rather than being split into multiple characteristic sections. This article is classified as a stub.

Option 2

 * Black Butte River
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article has a concise and accurate lead. Claims are supported by one singular citation, which is quite reputable coming from the United States geological survey. There are no relevant images inserted. The article is classified as a stub.

Option 3

 * Mount Ansel Adams
 * Article Evaluation
 * Sources are relevant and well-validated but article is short and lacks historical background. Information is neutrally written and there are no grammar or spelling mistakes. The image chosen as the headline only shows the location of the peak rather than providing more information or visual supplements. The article is a stub.
