I chose this article to evaluate as I feel it is always an important topic when discussing risk and hazard management around the event of an earthquake.

Evaluate the article
Lead Section: The lead includes an introductory sentence, is clear and concise, and does not include information not pertaining to the overall topic.

Content: The article's newest source is dated in 2018 with 2013 being the most recent after. So, it is relatively up-to-date. However, science and technology is one that is constantly evolving especially in engineering around hazards so a reevaluation on source material wouldn't hurt. The content doesn't heavily focus on one topic and is relevant to the overall article. The article was edited last on March 3, 2021.

Tone and Balance: The article keeps a neutral tone throughout. However, I question bias in only mentioning U.S. based research programs. The article was not titled "U.S. Earthquake Engineering". While it does include other projects, it heavily focuses on the NSF and the United States.

Sources: As mentioned before, an update on any new material since 2018 would help keep things up-to-date. The sources provided come from a diverse variety of authors and are included throughout the article. After trying a few links, they do work.

Organization: This article was easy to read and sectioned logically based on subtopics. I did not notice any major grammatical errors.

Images: The images of this article all had captions and enhanced the understanding of the article. It made it easier to visualize each structure.

Talk: All revisions seem to be majority editing typos and grammatical errors within the article.

Impression: My overall impression of this article was that it was a purely an informational article on different structures based in earthquake engineering. It could improve upon expand outside just U.S. based projects and more, newer peer review articles.
