Which article are you evaluating?
Eel River (California)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this Wikipedia article because the Eel River is my favorite river in California to visit and also has an interesting history in terms of being severely affected by droughts and climate change in California.

Evaluate the article
The introduction is clear to begin with since its basically just giving us a background about the Eel River. It also touches briefly on many topics which are included in the body of the article in what I feel is a concise manner. The topic is neutral. The article seems very informative and addresses many aspects of the Eel river such as its ecosystem, recreation and environmental issues surrounding the Eel River. The environmental issues section has a header which states citations are needed for verification. There are many sources listed but there seems to be too many for such a short article. The article was easy to read and grammatically appropriate as well as photos being credited to the appropriate source.

Overall, I feel the article has left out details of the history of the Eel River and how important it is to note how it's history of droughts relate to a bigger picture. It also did not feel current and up to date. It does have some strengths, however, as I stated before it does make a point to discuss a very brief history and also discusses the ecosystem of the Eel River but lacks current events.
