Ecology of Florida

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
Our seminar class is going to be reviewing and making improvements to structure, organization, and content broadly of wiki articles relating to ecology. I chose this article because I am currently in Florida and thought it was appropriate for the assignment.

Evaluate the article
Starting off, the lead section provides a good introductory sentence. It does not provide any information in the lead that is not present in the rest of the article. The paper seems to be written from a neutral point of view, there is no information or statements made that seems to be biased in any sense. Additionally, there seems to be good diversity of use of different types of sources. One thing that I noticed was that the images provided in this article are lacking. The article covers a wide array of the ecological makeup of Florida and the pictures they provide don't always convey that diversity, I would suggest the addition of more photos with better captions. I liked how the article split up the sections into abiotic and biotic content. I noticed the the Biotic environment had a section for fauna but not flora of Florida and I think that section should be added in order to better round out the information provided.
