Rio Grande rift

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article to evaluate because it is related to the course and it something we did not talk about in detail, so I had never heard of it before. This article matters because it explains the history and geography of the Rio Grande rift. My preliminary impression was that it is well-written and has no bias whatsoever.

Evaluate the article
Everything that is talked about in this article pertains to the topic of the Rio Grande rift; there were no distractions. One improvement that could be made is to the lead section. It is concise but does not explain what the rift is exactly, thus one could not read the first sentence and know what the article is about. The tone was completely neutral, as it only used facts proven by reliable sources. The sources themselves are reliable and neutral and feature a wide range of different authors and publications. In the talk page, conversations about correct capitalization of the Rio Grant Rift name and about fixing external links are occurring. The article itself is well-written and has images that enhance the reading experience.
