Content Evaluation
I found that the information in this article was very relevant, but there was a lot of jargon and sometimes unnecessary wording that would make the information less accessible to someone without a scientific background. Some of the terms were not explained at all, while others were, so the article did not feel very cohesive. The figures appeared a bit small and difficult to read unless I clicked on them, at which point they were fine to read. I found a typo in the form of a missing word and comma, too. However, there are plenty of links to articles on related topics within this article, and the information appears accurate, comprehensive, and scientific. An improvement I could suggest would be to explain the concepts in simpler terms with less jargon, if possible.

Tone Evaluation
The article's tone is professional and neutral. I did not find any claims that seem heavily biased or viewpoints that seemed to be over- or under-represented.

Source Evaluation
There is at least one section that noted that a reference was still needed to support a claim, so sources are not complete, though it appears that there is a source for virtually every sentence. However, there were a few sentences that I believe might need to list a source in the "Marine silica cycling" section. Additionally, there is a part of a sentence that is copied word-for-word from one of the sources without having quotation marks around it, so I believe some works needs to be done to correct this. Ex: "Silicon is the second most abundant element in the Earth's crust" from the source vs "Silicon ... is the second most abundant element in the Earth's crust" from the article. The source links I tried out worked for me and took me to scientific articles from publishers that I am familiar with, so the sources appear appropriate, neutral, and reliable.

Content Evaluation
The article is extremely short and could use some chemical equations to help explain the processes in it better. An "applications" or "impacts" section might also be useful to give a more comprehensive overview of how the cycle affects life on Earth, how mercury is used by people, etc. However, there is not much jargon, and it is very easy to follow along and relevant. Fortunately, there are quite a few links to other articles that expand on related topics. What it lacks in depth, it makes up for in ease-of-understanding.

Tone Evaluation
There are plenty of grammatical and wording mishaps in this article, along with repetitive sentence beginnings. However, the article appears to be very neutral and unbiased.

Source Evaluation
The very beginning of the article lacks substantial sources to support the claims. However, the sources that it does include that I checked over included government organizations and known publishers of scientific literature, so the sources appear reliable. I did notice that there is a lot of information in the sources that could easily be included in the article to make it longer and more informative, but it simply was not. I did not notice any significant biases from any of the links I checked, which all appeared to work as intended.

Content Evaluation
The article content is extremely informative and well-written, having little to no jargon. Every sentence appears to be relevant to the topic, and I found it easy to read without any major distractions. Links are provided for related topics, too. However, it is extremely short, and could probably use some expansion to explain the processes in the cycle with more detail. One thing I found that was very helpful was that the article explains a lot of the concepts within itself, so it should be easily understood by anyone.

Tone Evaluation
The tone is very concise, clear, and neutral. There are not many viewpoints expressed, as it simply lists a collection of published facts.

Source Evaluation
There are almost no sources listed in-text for this article, and very few are listed at all in the reference section. I believe this article needs a lot of work to support its claims with references. The few references that it does have appear to be relevant, unbiased, and reliable, as they are from published journals or government organizations.

Citation Practice
The following sentence is intended to test out creating citations and references. Corals are the hosts of a symbiotic relationship involving photosynthetic algae.
