Toxic Waster Dumping by the 'Ndrangheta

Toxic waste dumping by the 'Ndrangheta

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I have chosen to evaluate this article because it involves both Italian hostile families and ecology - which are two interests of mine. The information is also heavily bulked into two sections, making it intimidating to read, when it really is not that much information.

Evaluate the article
The leads dives right into the information and fails to outline what will be covered, or give a brief history of what the article is about. The article states information, one sentence after another with failure to provide context beforehand. The content given is spread out and not linear. Sequencing jumps from one year to another with a lack of transition between points. In addition, it goes into heavy detail about Fonti and his experience, leaving out others experiences. The one thing I believe this article does well is tone, it is hard to add personal opinion to facts, and this article steers clear of doing that. But as stated before, it is solely based on Fonti's experience - leaving out many other valuable perspectives. The author has many sources, but some are written in Italian, so now I wonder how they were able to accurately extract information while in a different language. The organization, as said before, is pretty rough with jumping from one topic to another. As it relates to writing quality, again it is not that strong as I notice some poor word choice. There is no media to accompany this piece. Looking at the talk page, other authors agree that Fonti is the sole perspective on this story and more views need to be added. Otherwise, the article is full of information, but it needs to be spread out and more information needs to be incorporated.
