Oceanography

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose Oceanography as my article to evaluate because I have always loved the ocean and have always dreamed of working in Oceanography at some point. I figured I may as well do this evaluation on something I love and find interesting so I thought I'd try it out with this. Oceanography is important for many reasons, as our planet is covered in oceans for the majority of its surface. As detailed in this article, oceanography spans across several focuses such as biological oceanography, geological oceanography, to even Paleoceanography.

Evaluate the article
Overall, the article looks really good. It has a good aesthetic to it, and the information is neatly organized at first glance. The article has a good tone to it, and keeps a neutral glance throughout it. It also has a good flow to it, going from what Oceanography is, to the history of oceanography. The article presents this history in an ordered manner, and has many cited sources to check what is being said. This is a very good sign as much of the article has names of famous oceanographers and their many research missions they went on. Going on to the sources, the sources seem to have been constructed nicely, and most of them look to be credible, helping make the article way more credible than what it may have been at first glance. Looking in the talk section, this article is a massive part of a lot of wikiprojects. This helps show how important this kind of article is and shows the need to help fix it so that it can be a an extremely accurate article.
