Which article are you evaluating?
(Environmental issues - Wikipedia)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(I chose this to learn how to evaluate a related wiki article)

Evaluate the article
(Everything is relevant to the topic and really the only thing that distracted me personally is just the banner warning. Some of the sources are older but not necessarily out of date. The only things I think that could be added, however not necessarily missing, are elaborations on what exactly environmental issues are and why they are important. I do not believe the article fails to represent marginalized populations; it speaks in general terms with the rare exception of using a stats that do focus on the U.S. Improvements would just be simple things like expanding the article.

Of course, the article has a bias of sorts due to its subject content. And therefore, it will have unrepresented views being that of those who are not in favor of protecting the environment, and of those who may be for some protection but favor growth in business and the economy.

The links work and do support the article. I would say they are cited and reliable. Although one I clicked was from an organization and other were from other wiki's. Of course, all the sources will be biased, and I am not sure how that bias is noted. The sources have a fair amount of diverseness.

Still learning how to read and navigate wiki, but from what I see there is not much of a talk page for this article. This article looks like it's part of two projects, one for science and one for the environment. Our class focuses on water and society in California, so this article is distantly related.)
