Which article are you evaluating?
Everglades

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I don't know much about the everglades, and have been living on Florida for the past 3 years. Another reason why I chose this article is because it is well cited with over 190 sources.

Evaluate the article
I found this article to be reliable. When you enter the article you are presented with a summary of what are the everglades, where it begins, and a quick history lesson about them. After that one can find the location of the everglades and the square mile of them (7,800). One can then see the clear table of content which includes the categories that they will be talking about and the sub categories that make up the entire category for example: the 4th category is Formative and Sustaining processes and then 4.1 Water 4.2 Rock 4.3 Fire. Whenever this article talks about someone or something it has its quotations and links to where one can learn more about that person or word. It has the adequate number of pictures to help the reader visualize easier what they are talking about and each image has a link to where they found it from. They have also included charts and the source of the charts. Some of the sources used in the article are books which I cannot verify, others are surveys, websites and more. The sources I checked I deem reliable since they are .edu, .gov, and research studies. On the other hand I found some sources to be non-existent. This article was last edited on January 11, 2022. My overall impressions of this article are good. I found the overall status to be educational with proof to back up the information, I loved how they used pictures and charts to help the audience understand and visualize what they were talking about. This article can be improved by revising some of the sources and updating them, because their are some sources that are non existent maybe because they changed website. I find this article to be well-developed but not entirely up to date, I would love to see the sources that are non existent removed or changed to the new site.
