Article Selection
Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

 * Article title: Global Alliance on Health and Pollution
 * Article Evaluation:
 * The articles content is relevant to the topic, and is written neutrally. Although there are various sources in the article, it needs more sources to back up all of their claims. Most of the sources are reliable but some of them are news reports and in other languages from other countries. This ties back to the global alliance and how other countries are reporting news on it. The article has no talk page and is very short. Needs more information regarding topic.

Option 2

 * Article title: Human impact on the environment
 * Article Evaluation:
 * This is a very good article. it has a lot of information and sources to back up their claims. The articles content relates to the topic thoroughly and creates subtopics throughout article to better understand the points being made. All claims have a citation and others have a link to another wiki article. Has over 150 citations. I think that is very helpful and efficient. The citations are reliable, some are from scholar articles and books.

Option 3

 * Article title: Land degradation
 * Article Evaluation:
 * Theres a lot of information available about the land degradation going on for all these years. Theres pictures and figures that help illustrate the changes and help the reader understand thoroughly. The articles content is relevant to topic. Each claim has a source that backs up that information and the sources are very accurate and high in level for example some are from scholar articles and journals. The article is neutral and only shows reader the information needed for the reader to make their own opinions and analyze it. The article is concise and clear on the topic it is referring to. paints a clear picture. The talk page says that the article is environmentally inclined but that's normal because the article is about the land degradation.

Option 4

 * Article title: Sea level rise
 * Article Evaluation:
 * the articles content is relative to its topic because it is explaining the global sea level rise and giving backed up examples with sources. Although some on the talk page may say that the article is inclined to global warming, i would say its not because the articles title is sea level rise. If it would be talking about the opposite it would be called sea level drop. The citations are reliable and it has a citation for the claims given. It also has good images that help convey the information they are explaining.

Option 5

 * Article title: Deforestation and Climate Change
 * Article Evaluation:
 * The articles content is relevant to the topic being discussed. the article uses reliable sources of information to back up their points and facts. Its not only one source of information for their sources.The article somewhat includes a brief description of the major sections described in the article. Very well structured though. The article is neutral and doesnt show any direct position. only giving information to make the reader more aware. All the sections on the article are broken down and explained. There are a few pictures that enhance the message of the topic like a map that shows the climate change.
