Deepwater Horizon oil spill

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I have been very interested in reading about all of the short and long-term effects of oil spills, understanding remediation and any economic/ecological damage. I didn't remember much of the details of this particular spill but it was very thorough with all of the facts and data.

Evaluate the article
I found this article to be extremely informative, easy to digest, neutral and thorough. I was eager to keep reading, it addressed every important and thoughtful detail regarding this environment disaster and I felt that I really was able to take away a lot of significant information after reading it. When looking at citations I found there to be many citations, and that information was cited well, there were a few statements that still required citations but it didn't seem of too much importance to those in discussion on the Talk page. I found that perusing the Talk page was really instrumental in further understanding how to communicate, evaluate, and interact and enjoyed really all of the comments. Users were updating information, collaborating and updating together and it was amenable and respectful. I thought this page was the perfect choice for additional understanding in evaluating an article.
