Climate change in the Maldives

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

The reason I chose this article is because I will be editing an article and doing a presentation on this topic in class. It matters because it really shows on a larger scale the disadvantages or the consequences of the human action, which is basically the ecological impact. My preliminary impression came in a form as a shock that Maldives might be submerged underwater in the 21st century. Even though I did predict that it would be under water but not in the 21st century.

The lead section gives a very concise overview of the whole article and highlights the topics which were covered in the article, it did not include anything which was not covered in the article. The major section of the article which is "Sea Level Rise" includes a sentence briefly describing that section. The lead section is not overly detailed since the article is not very long.

The article content is relevant to the topic and it goes onto how the island will be underwater due to increased sea levels but it does neglect other parts such as effects on people and effects on the environment. Other sections of the article have a lot more information compared to the others.

I do not think that the article is neutral, the idea about the adaptation and how the people are living in the Maldives due to this issue and they can relocate to areas in Srilanka and area in Australia. But the article fails to highlight the issues which might be causing the climate change and impacting Maldives in the worst way. It does highlight on the changes that the politicians have made regarding going carbon neutral to going low carbon. This article does not include the tourism and how the planes might be causing the problems and how the other countries which emit a large amount of green house gases can be impacting an island which is in the middle of an Indian Ocean. The article persuades the reader to think about the future and what is being done to combat this issues but it does not include the other reasons.

The article is backed up by sources and references. It includes sources from 2022 and they all work.

The article is well written and organized.

The images which are used are visually appealing and it does adhere to Wikipedia's copyright regulations since it links the articles or websites under the description of the images I think better images can be used which can help reader better understand the article such as: picture of allot.

The article has been rated as start-class with mostly top importance which means it still needs more information to be added to it. This article is a part of the WikiProject Environment and within scope of WikiProject International Relations, and WikiProject Climate Change.

The strength of the article is that it started important topics such as effects of the issue on the people and the environment. This article can be improved by developing the topics which are underdeveloped such as the effects and it can add new sections such as the causes of the climate change which were caused by the other nations and Maldives itself. And how does the tourists coming in and out of the country impacts its climate.
