Article evaluation
the article being evaluated: West African Craton - learn wikilinks! - the article is generally neutral. - in the 'snowball earth' section I found did not talk about how the West Africa Craton fits into the snowball earth but goes over the snowball earth theory. - the topics though covering geology and formation of the geologic area, seem quite general. - I like the format of the "features" section, talking about the different parts of the West Africa Craton, and how they differ, though these sections seemed to be only a few sections, they could either site other Wikipedia articles or be longer. - the most up to date article i could find was in 2009, and there only seemed to be one contributor (either than bots) for this page. I belevie there could be more up to date articles and publications out there almost 10 years later. - for the references, I also noticed one paper published by "Liberty International Mining Corp." which could create some bias being published from a mining company. clicking on the link for this paper also did not bring me to an article.

Week 4 edit:Mining Activity
Within the West African Craton, there is a large amount of mining activity covering resources such as gold, copper, cobalt, silver, tin, and zinc.
