Article Evaluation:

Hydrogen Cycle:


 * Content
 * The article lacks figures
 * Under biotic cycles, the top line "Many microbial metabolisms produce or consume H2." seems redundant considering the subsections Production and Consumption
 * Avoids jargon for the most part
 * Tone
 * Tone is generally neutral
 * Sources
 * Some statements lack sources, ex.
 * Hydrogen gas can be produced naturally through rock-water interactions or as a byproduct of microbial metabolisms lacks a source.
 * Another major sink of free atmospheric H2 is photochemical oxidation by hydroxyl radicals (•OH), which forms water.
 * Anthropogenic sinks of H2 include synthetic fuel production through the Fischer-Tropsch reaction and artificial nitrogen fixation through the Haber-Bosch process to produce nitrogen fertilizers.

Oxygen Cycle:


 * Content
 * "The tiny marine cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus was discovered in 1986 and accounts for up to half of the photosynthesis of the open ocean." - Is the date of discovery relevant?
 * See also is remarkably bare
 * Table 1 and Table 2 under Capacities and fluxes are not labeled the same or formatted the same
 * Article contains only one image/figure, and it's a bit cluttered.
 * Clunky wording at times: "The word oxygen in the literature typically refers to the most common oxygen allotrope"
 * Jargon, overly long sentence: "While there are many abiotic sources and sinks for O2, the presence of the profuse concentration of free oxygen in modern Earth's atmosphere and ocean is attributed to O2 production from the biological process of oxygenic photosynthesis in conjunction with a biological sink known as the biological pump and a geologic process of carbon burial involving plate tectonics."
 * Tone
 * Tone is neutral throughout
 * Sources
 * Much of the Reservoir section lacks proper sourcing
 * Ozone section lacks sourcing

Selenium Cycle:


 * Content
 * Article has a figure, seems a bit cluttered but is informative.
 * Wording is somewhat strange (ex. "There are three fates of dissolved selenium in an aquatic ecosystem: 1. it can be absorbed or ingested by organisms;  2. it can bind with suspended solids or sediments; or  3. it can remain in free solution.") The use of "it can" seems redundant and clunky
 * Tone
 * Tone is neutral throughout
 * Sources
 * The article has only 4 sources, so many statements are uncited.
 * The entire Immobilization processes section lacks citation
 * The author may be using source 2 for the entire intro, but most of the statements in that section lack citation.

It can be helpful to copy and paste the text below into a sandbox, and apply all of the options directly to this text to see what it does.

Paragraph: Set the style of your text. For example, make a header or plain paragraph text. You can also use it to offset block quotes.
A : Highlight your text, then click here to format it with bold, italics, etc. The “More” options allows you to underline (U), cross-out text ( S ), add code snippets ( { } ), change language keyboards (Aあ), and clear all formatting.

Links: Highlight text and push this button to make it a link. The Visual Editor will automatically suggest related Wikipedia articles for that word or phrase. This is a great way to connect your article to more Wikipedia content. You only have to link important words once, usually during the first time they appear. If you want to link to pages outside of Wikipedia (for an “external links” section, for example) click on the “External link” tab.

Cite: The citation tool in the Visual Editor helps format your citations. You can simply paste a DOI or URL, and the Visual Editor will try to sort out all of the fields you need. Be sure to review it, however, and apply missing fields manually (if you know them). You can also add books, journals, news, and websites manually. That opens up a quick guide for inputting your citations. Once you've added a source, you can click the “re-use” tab to cite it again.

Bullets: To add bullet points or a numbered list, click here.

Insert: This tab lets you add media, images, or tables.

Ω: This tab allows you to add special characters, such as those found in non-English words, scientific notation, and a handful of language extensions.
