Evaluate the drafted changes
Lead Section: I think the lead section of the article draft was pretty good and got right into the subtopics of Urban geography but could definitely have had more leeway and background information before diving right into topics pertaining to the main topic. Like they started by going right into the "patterns of urban development and infrastructure" when they could have given some context as to why that and the topics following are important. Would definitely assist in making the reader absorb and comprehend the topic at hand much easier. But other than that great job on each point made, just the right amount of detail for it to be understood!

Content Section: My peers added a lot! They very very detailed and took the time to be thorough in the amount and quality to which they added about the topic of Urban geography. I mean they did their due diligence in adding things that were not originally there in the original article. From Human interactions, the flow of economic and natural resources within urban environments to the different types of impact that urban geography had, even briefly dived into the interest researchers have when looking into urban geography. The content that they did add was indeed relevant to the topic. The content is also up to date as 4/6 references are all within 4 years of being researched. The one part that was missing and the part that I wish they had added more to was the social and political flow within urban environments, which had nothing under it and would be a great addition to the overall article, especially with regard to the overall topic. And interestingly, it did cover Wikipedia's equity gaps briefly under its societal impact section, this section could have definitely been used a lot more. Another thing that stood out to me and something I found valuable was the hyperlinks used about other Wikipedia pages relevant to their topic!

Tone and Balance: The content in their article is neutral, I took the time to read through it a couple of times to ensure that it was neutral and it indeed is. Nothing said or presented was too lenient on convincing or discouraging, with that there was no viewpoint that was overrepresented and/or underrepresented. But the social and political flow within urban environments and the societal impact could have used more information. But besides that there isn't a heavy bias in either direction, their work is strictly to inform the reader and assist them in gaining a better understanding of Urban geography

Sources and References: So this was the part that stood out to me. I noticed that four of the six references they had were recently researched in the past 4 years and one of the remaining two was a blog that didn't have a proper link whereas the other was a bit out of range of what could be considered a reliable source because of the year that to which it was published. Besides that, the content does accurately reflect the cited sources. The majority of the sources are indeed written by a diverse spectrum of authors, the other two are listed as out of date and the blog can be improved upon. All but the fourth and sixth links work.

Organization: The content is well written and concise but some grammatical errors can be found throughout the article that can be revised which would help with the flow and emphasis of what is being said. The content is well structured and organized, and the breakdown of the information into sections makes it very easy to understand the direction and is a direct reflection of the overall topic at hand. There were no images and media, but it would be a welcome addition!

Overall impression: The content and information added to the overall quality and look of the article and would in my belief provide a much better understanding of the main topic. The strength of the content added was that it broke down certain aspects of things within an urban environment. Those are patterns in infrastructure, the flow of economics, natural resources, and human interactions. Along with the impacts of urban geography (Environmental, Societal, Climate, and Biodiversity), It can be improved by being more detailed in certain aspects of the sections in the article like the societal section and social and political flow, but besides that, I am thoroughly impressed with it overall and am looking forward to not only reading more about it but to see how you guys round it out! Great great job guys!!
