Which article are you evaluating?
Queer ecology

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose to evaluate the queer ecology wikipedia page as I am currently learning about ecofeminism and this is an adjacent subject. It matters because it is discussing a world view and theory that centers a historically underrepresented community. My primary impression is that the article is mostly good but lacking substantial citations and could use more clear language and formatting.

Evaluate the article
The article could use some refinement especially in the Lead sections. Stronger formatting and language refinement would help readers better understand the topic and how it relates to the broader ecology and feminist doctrines. The article could also use better citations as some of the citations are not quite meeting the recommended 1 citation per paragraph standard suggested by wikipedia. In addition a number of the sources are not peer reviewed studies, books, or journals. The sources do select a sampling of diverse voices and specifically highlight a topic relating to historically underrepresented groups. Overall the article holds a C status. It is sufficient for people reading to gain an introduction to the subject but a well read person on the subject may have more knowledge on it. The article is related to equity and ecologically marginalized groups. The article could use better sources to help represent the body of knowledge on the subject.
