Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
The reason I chose this article is due to the fact that it is of high importance and deals with the environment which is related to my course theme and is something that matters to me. My preliminary impression of the article was that it seems like it is well put together and provides a fair amount of information over the topic.

Evaluate the article
Throughout reviewing the article, some facts weren't referenced with an appropriate reliable reference as there were some areas that needed citations as shown by the citation needed tag and paragraphs without any cites in them. Everything in the article seemed relevant to the article topic but there was some information included that seemed to be too much and distracts a bit from the topic. Overall, the article seemed to be neutral along with its sources that come from a variety of reliable publishers that offer multiple positions on this topic. However, viewpoints over the effects on wildlife seemed to be underrepresented compared to the rest of that section of the article. In regards to citations, there seemed to be no close paraphrasing or plagiarism and after checking a few citations the links also seemed to function properly. The information also seemed to be up to date but maybe more recent information over the topic can be added. Some suggestions for improvements include more viewpoints over the effects on wildlife to bring more balance to the sections in the article as well as more references for facts provided and removal of extra information not closely related to the topic.
