Evaluate the article
The lead section starts out clear, providing a basic overview of what environmental science currently is and all it encompasses. It is very clear as to which the article describes and includes topics that relate to the topic, all while being short and to the point. The content within the article provides information that is relevant to the topic, including it's history up to the present, and it's earlier beginnings within ancient civilizations. The article is up to date as well, including citations up to recent years, and gives accurate and factual information. Regarding the tone of the article it remains mostly neutral and does not delve too much into opinion driven information. Although I would argue that it goes into too much politics regarding the creation of current environmental studies. It briefly talks about global warming, as well as government regulations that affect the area of study. Each piece of information that lies within the article for the topic of environmental science is given a source to back up it's claims, while being up to date. Each branching topic that relates to the main topic within the article is also given a link. The writing quality of the article remains professional, with little to no spelling or grammatical errors, and each sub-section is broken up into easily understandable parts. On top of this the images and media presented within the article illustrate the topic nicely, depicting pictures that relate to sub studies of environmental studies, and some including those who were important to the development of the field. The Talk page of the article provides some insight as to how the article was changed to represent what it is currently, and also touches upon what I had mentioned earlier in my analysis of the article. Overall the article seems fine, it is concise but I am sure there is room for improvement.
