I should clarify, this section could be added in possibly under the Culture section of the Lyon article where there are already a few lines talking about this. It could also be under its own section such as in the way the French language version of this article has it under the section titled "Langue et accent lyonnais".

Lyonnais Dialect
The Lyonnais dialect is part of the Franco-Provençal language that is spoken in parts of France, Italy, and Switzerland. The Franco-Provençal language is considered "critically endangered" with only possibly 50,000 to 60,000 speakers present in France. Moreover, since the language has not been the national language of any country, it has not been standardized and as such, does not have an established spelling system. In France, Franco-Provençal has only been recognized as a "language of France" but has not been given a protected status. It has been suggested that as a consequence of the significant "phonological variation" the language has become mutually unintelligible even for people who live a short distance from each other.

Article Evaluation
 Urbanization Article: 

The article opens with good references but they diminish starting with the third paragraph of the lead-in.

The History section lacks references in the third paragraph as well. Additionally, the last sentence of the history section talks about how Yale used its urbanization data to produce a video showing the development of cities historically which seems misplaced this doesn't actually tell us anything more about the history of Urbanization is only tells us about a university that has studied the field.

Causes Section:

The beginning of the Causes section lacks references and and does not seem accessible to the average reader. The very first sentence is confusing as I can only guess that the article is stating that things that are listed are catalysts for Urbanization. So, they are saying that commercial flights and social action is causing Urbanization?

The sentence that starts with "As against this..." could be worded better to provide clarity as to the observed negatives of Urbanization.

 Lyon Article: 

Culture section may simply be a place where local landmarks or businesses are able to insert their listing in order to draw attention from tourists who reference the article.

The street art section could definitely be expanded.

The local accent and language section could also be expanded as clearly the French version of this article has many other details that could be shared.

The lead-in has all very positive information that is backed up by several in-text citations but many of the organization seem to commercial groups which makes me wonder if the information is valid for use in this context.
