Which article are you evaluating?
California oak woodland

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose the California oak woodland because it is a part of the natural history in California. My first impression of this article was how brief it is with only a few references. Oak woodlands hold ecological importance and are important habitats in California. I also chose the article because it is lacking a lot of information that I think I can add.

The lead section is decent. It contains the most information but because there aren't that many main sections in the article so there are no brief descriptions of the main sections. Essentially the lead is the main section of the article so it contains a lot of information that is not present in the last article. Therefore, for the same reason, the lead would be concise if there was more information but in relation to the rest of the article, it is too detailed. For content, a lot of content is missing but the content that is there is up to date. I don't believe the article deals with one of Wikipedia's equity gaps.

The article is from a neutral point of view. Again, the main issue with the article is the lack of information and not neutrality. The article is written pretty easy to read and well organized into sections. There is only one photo in the article and is labeled. Therefore, the article needs more photos and could then be laid out to be more visually appealing.

In the talk section, there was only one person who wanted to modify the references. It just seems that the article is not frequently visited which is why there is a lack of information. The article is rated c-class.

Overall, the strengths are the tone and the weaknesses are lack of information. The article is underdeveloped.
