User:JMcDaniel8/Protected areas of the United States

Draft Evaluate an article

The topic of protected areas of the United States was not clearly defined in the lead sentence. The topic sentence diverted directly into land being managed which doesn't necessarily mean protected. Then states “varying levels of protection” which in my opinion needs further explanation prior to the following paragraphs of the types of protection.

What is a protected area? Then, how does each level of government protects these certain areas?

More information needs to be added to the State and local level protected areas.

The link structure needs to be addressed. There are multiple links that go to the same location for example → National Forests (list here, list of largest National Forests here) are the same link which seems redundant. Some of the links are no longer reliable as all three of the references are dead links, leading me to believe this page may be in need of a major overhaul. Small grammatical errors here and there but nothing extreme.

The images are well captioned, but oddly John Muir’s photo and description are on the page without mention within the article itself.
