Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose to evaluate this article because I like the environment of the arctic.

Lead Section
The lead section gives a concise definition of what the Arctic is-- the characteristics of the ecosystem, what regions it includes, and a brief list of the wildlife it includes.

Content
Each section of the article has an appropriate amount of information for the topic. All of the content is relevant and the most important concepts are present. The article also discusses underrepresented populations like the indigenous communities residing in the arctic, and discusses issues of climate change that are relevant to the arctic.

Tone and Balance
The article remains neutral and factual while still discussing political issues regarding arctic regions. All content is fact based.

Sources and References
All information is properly cited from the source. References are relevant and include recent information when necessary. All links are functioning and active.

Organization and Writing Quality
The writing is clear and the organization makes sense. Proper grammar is used and it is well written.

Images and Media
Images are relevant and depict the content being discussed.

Talk Page Discussion
This article's talk page has not been very active within the last five years. Most of the conversation is about adding additional information and adding more sources or citations. The most recent activity downgraded the article to C-Class.

Overall Impressions
I think the article gives good general information about the arctic. The article is rated C-Class, mostly because some sources need to be added and the "further reading" section includes some irrelevant articles.
