User:Greenwashed98/Urban ecosystem/Avmcloney Peer Review

Lead

For this peer review I will have looked at the original article as well as the sandbox. Although the Lead has not yet been updated, in fact there is no Lead section in the original article, I see that there are proposed changes to add one. I think that what is already provided in the article will function as a Lead section. It is broad and an overview. I think adding more information about specific research might work better in subsequent sections, as the lead is meant to be concise and brief. An inclusion of the article’s sections would also be beneficial, once more sections are added. The article, as it stands, could be broken up more and expanded.

Content

I think the content that is proposed to be added is relevant to the topic. The resources that are proposed are also fairly recent (within the last 5-10 years). The proposed research material also offers diverse information. Perhaps considerations that include climate change and adapting to new challenges could be incorporated into a section.

I think, as is proposed, there is room to expand on enumerating types of urban ecosystems and  how resources are moved and managed, as well as challenges and biodiversity data.

Though the article as it is, is a good and general overview of the definition of urban ecologies, there are surly areas to expand upon, as I mentioned above. Content gaps may include examples of urban ecosystems, challenges, consequences (i.e., pollution?)

Tone and Balance

This content is presented very naturally. There does not seem to be any bias, and it is presented very scientifically.

Sources and References

The sources seem to come from reliable academic papers. Two of the sources come from the same publication, however, this may not be a problem, since they are dealing with different things. The links work on the original article.

Organization

The article is written clearly and there are no grammatical errors. However, the organization over all could perhaps benefit from more segmentation. The editors could add new sections to expand on socioecology, biodiversity, and resource managements.

Images and Media

There is only one image now. But since the article is so short it does not need more. But if more sections are added, more images might be appropriate. The image of Bangkok is perfect for the article for now.

For New Articles Only

New sources have been given. More sources could be provided as new sections are created. There was not a new draft of the article provided yet.

Overall impressions

More examples of urban ecosystems and projects will benefit the article. Overall, more segmentation and elaboration on the topic will be beneficial.
