Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose to evaluate an article on coral reefs, as I find them extremely fascinating. This article matters as it educates users on the composition of a coral reef, the formation of a reef, different types of reefs, common locations, and ecosystem threats. My preliminary impression of this article was that it was informative and quite lengthy as it discussed everything related to a coral reef.

Evaluate the article
When examining the lead section of the article, I noticed that it has a strong introductory sentence and clearly explained the purpose of the article to the reader. The author could do a better job of introducing the article's main sections, but the information given was concise and relevant to the subject matter. All the content was relevant to the subject and was extremely helpful in understanding every aspect of a coral reef. The source material was mostly up to date but could be updated in the future. There was nothing on equity gaps or historically represented populations, but the article was on a marine organism, so that wouldn't apply. This article was written from a neutral point of view and there was no bias in any of the findings listed. After reviewing the sources, I concluded they were legitimate and verified by other authors as well. The images and media were extremely useful in interpreting the subject matter and were in high resolution. Overall, this article was very well written and supported. My only suggestions would be updating the source material and including the article's main sections in the introduction.
