Article Evaluation

Hello I'm Drew Schroeder, and for my article evaluation, I visited the Pacific swift page on Wikipedia, and found three aspects of it worth commenting on: To see if any of the cited links were dead, see how old the article is, and are there many grammar errors. The article talks about the Pacific swift, a bird which breeds in eastern Asia. They are strongly migratory birds and does most of their breeding in sheltered locations such as caves or under the roofs of houses. Like all members of it's family, the Pacific swift feeds exclusively on insects caught in flight, and faces few threats from predators or humans.

The first thing I looked at was to see if the article was up to date and providing accurate information. I scrolled to the very bottom and saw it was last edited on January 3rd at 2:12 pm, which is the current day, so I knew it was up to date and accurate. The second thing I decided to loom at was to see if any of the cited links were dead and no longer providing information. There were a large amount of cited links, so I checked over a quarter of them to see how many were dead and no longer giving details. After checking, not a single link that I checked was dead, so they all provided the information they were supposed to. The third question I took into account was to see if there were any grammatical errors or informal language. I decided to read the article thoroughly two times to make sure there weren't any errors. There were several times that I had to look up a word because I didn't recognize it, but the article seemed to be free from any errors or informal language.
