Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

This article was a WikiProject that interested me because I like to swim and my grandparent house had a body of water in their back yard. I also thought it would be something different than art related. I matters because water is a home for many aquatic animals and insects. I feel like the article could use more information. As of right now it just states the type of bodies of water with minimal explanation of each. Therefore, it could expand on why or how they are used.

The lead section has a brief description and introduction information to described in general what bodies of water are. Most of the content is in the type of water. It's very balanced and neutral with facts. Most of the cites are from an online dictionary. There needs to be some sort of academic means used to provided clarification to the scientific words. Its very organized and easy to read with bullet points. Well images proved with captions with in other Wikipedia pages. It was part of the WikiProjects Geography, Oceans, Limnology, and Oceanography. The talk pages only has s few helpful suggestions but most are irrelevant. Overall, its strength is within its type of water. It could use more themes to help draw a better understanding of the different waters. It would also be helpful to find academic textbooks that would have the correct definition and meanings behind the specific words.
