Which article are you evaluating?
Battery Park City - Wikipedia

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I choose this article because I remember the areas being brought up during black history month. I live in New York city, and I always found urbanization to be fascinating due to the new ideas and landscapes of the area as society changes and progresses as it modernizes.

Evaluate the article
Everything in the article is related to the article topic but I wished that they would have included a bit of images on the band and layout for initial batter community. I think the article is very neutral since it mainly states the history and facts of how the community and park came to be, but it did give a little too much detail on the business and changing of hands of the ownership of the area. Th first source leads to a working sit but I could not figure out how it worked to see the images. The second source I clicked on was a New York Times article which is a credible source. There is no real conversation just people fact checking the article and removing irrelevant information, so much so that 50 changes have been made a week prior to the date I assessed the article. The article is a part of the Wiki Project New York City with a rate of B class and of medium importance. This isn't a topic we have really talked about in class I thought it was related but I had already started to go back to pick another article, but this leaves no room for biases and opinions and is very straight to the point and relies on facts that can be proven or talked about more than once
