Queer ecology

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this article because "queer" and "ecology" are two words that I know separately but have never seen them as a single subject before. It matters because it offers a different perspective of nature, shifting away from a heteronormative narrative that I've almost exclusively been taught ecology through and make comparisons on the different views. The article was much more comprehensive than I expected it to be, because I thought it was such an obscure topic.

The lead section is very concise and gives a basic definition of what "queer ecology" is and some of what I can expect to find deeper in the article and not things that weren't explored in the article. There seems to be a lot of up to date information (some references are source published in 2017) and it is presented in a neutral tone. I'm not that familiar with the material, so I can't tell for sure if there is material missing but there are no obvious gaps. It does seem like the article could use more sources as there are large areas of the article with only one source applied to it. The article flowed well and was easy to read with very little jargon that a person not in that field could not understand. It could use an image or two to break up the wall of text. The talk page is mostly made of wikiProject mentions, one critique someone had to post for a class, and a user thanking another for removing a piece of information that did not belong. The article is generally rated as being of low importance in wikiProjects of: philosophy, LGBT Studies, Ecology, Environment, Visual Arts, and Feminism. Overall the page seems like it could use more information, but I don't know enough on the topic to know how many outside sources there are covering the topic so it may currently be as complete as it could be. One of the article's strength is it being able to find a decent amount of material on what seems like a fairly new and niche subject at the moment.
