Which article are you evaluating?
Ecobricks

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I have done research on Ecobricks before and I wanted to do more research and really get into the topic. This topic matters because it is a great way to encourage people to be more cautious about their plastic use and Ecobricks are a great way of recycling plastic in a low energy way. My preliminary impression of the article was that it was very detailed and informative.

Evaluate the article
Lead Section: The lead section has a strong introduction sentence and includes an overlook about what is going to be in the rest of the article. There are a couple parts that are a little wordy but I feel that the lead section is worded well.

Content: The contents of this article are relatively up to date. I feel that there is a little room for some more current updates, like what the plan in for Ecobricks in 2024. The whole article is concentrating on Ecobricks and the purpose of them so there isn't really any irrelevant information in the article. The article also talks about how the Ecobricks company is using Ecobricks to help out lower income communities.

Tone and Balance: I would say that the article is very neutral. It mainly just talks about what Ecobricks are, how they are being used, how to make them, how they are helping decrease plastic use as well as the eduction that goes along with doing it, and so much more. It is a very informative article.

Sources and References: So much of the article is backed up by sources and mainly by the Ecobricks website. Most of the sources are current but there are a couple that are slightly outdated by now. All sources and links are available.

Organization and Writing Quality: I would say that the article is pretty well written and easy to read. It is unbiased and very informative. I think there could be some reorganization and more added to the article but overall I feel that it is well written as is.

Images and Media: All the images in the article have a purpose and give a visual of what the article is talking about. I feel that more images should be added but what is already there is in a good spot and relevant to the article.

Talk Page Discussion: There is not much on the talk page of this article. There is one small conversation about concerns with the article but that is about it. This article is also rated a C-class article. Wikipedia talks about this article in a more informative way but in class we want to talk about this article and add in how Ecobricks are influencing environmental justice in the areas that Ecobricks are helping.

Overall Impressions: Overall I feel that this article is well written and informative but there is always room for improvement. A section about how Ecobricks are incorporated into environmental justice should be added to inform the readers about how Ecobricks are helping communities. I also feel that there could be an added section about how educating about Ecobricks and how they help with plastic pollution. The article as a whole right now seems complete right now but there is always room for improvement.
