Which article are you evaluating?
Carbon capture and storage in Mexico - Wikipedia

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I am interested in specific ways to help combat climate change, one being carbon sequestration. Therefore, I wanted to see how certain countries, such as Mexico, are utilizing carbon capture and storage to decrease carbon emissions.

Evaluate the article
Lead Section


 * Introductory sentence could be more specific and incorporate the introduction of carbon capture (main point of article is not in first sentence)
 * The lead section does not include a brief description of the main sections of the article
 * All of the information in the lead section is included in the article
 * The lead section is concise, but I think carbon storage should be mentioned more

Content


 * The article's content is relevant to the topic and important information to have included
 * The content is up to date (was last updated November 2023)
 * I believe there should be more information directly related to carbon capture
 * The article does not specifically go into what carbon capture is and an emphasis on the importance of carbon capture is not introduced
 * The article does not deal with Wikipedia's equity gaps

Tone and Balance


 * The author is neutral
 * There are no claims that are biased (information presented strictly contains facts, no opinions)
 * There are no viewpoints over or underrepresented (all viewpoints accurately described)
 * Although it might be good to add states with the least CO2 emissions to compare to the states with the most CO2 emissions
 * The author does not attempt to persuade the reader, only facts are presented

Sources and References


 * The references for the article are reliable sources
 * Either governmental websites or published scientific articles
 * Important to note that there are only four sources, I believe more references is needed
 * The sources are thorough and reflect the information on the article's topic
 * Three of the four sources are slightly outdated (between 2009 and 2014)
 * I believe newer references is important (especially given a topic that is fairly recent)
 * The sources are written by diverse and different authors which gives multiple perspectives
 * There are better and newer sources available (both governmental websites and published articles) to expand and specify information
 * One of the links did not work http://www.halliburton.com/public/solutions/contents/CCS/Overview/Challenge_Generic/CCS_Brochure.pdf

Organization and Writing Quality


 * The article is well-written
 * Information is concise and easy to read or follow
 * I did not find any grammatical or spelling errors
 * The article is well-organized with the specific sections reflecting major points
 * I believe more sections could be added to provide more information (for example, there are only three major sections, so I feel like more should be added)

Images and Media


 * The article does not contain any images (therefore, it is visually unappealing)

Talk Page Discussion


 * There is no discussion occurring with this article
 * I could not find a rating of this article
 * It is not involved in any WikiProjects
 * The topic of carbon storage is listed as low-importance, but according to class and the IPCC report, carbon storage is a huge importance in the mitigation of climate change

Overall Impressions


 * This article contains good information and is well-written
 * However, I believe it can be improved by incorporating more information from more recent references as well as adding pictures or figures depicting data
 * Overall, the article is somewhat underdeveloped due to lack of specific data or information and the use of older references
