Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose Aldo Leopold as my article to review because I have always enjoyed learning about him. from first glance this page is dense in information.

Evaluate the article
- The leads opening sentence gives a solid description of who Aldo Leopold is, the rest of the section speaks on multiple aspects that are in the article. It does not mention the land ethic even though it has a subheading in the article.

- the articles content all relates to Aldo, the content is up to date and based on my prior knowledge does not seem to be missing any important information, the article includes information on unfairness to animals.

- the article is neutral, there is no overrepresentation or swaying in position. just informative on Leopold.

- the references are all books on Aldo Leopold, the sources are from before 2000, and the book links do not go anywhere. there are more peer reviewed articles that could be added as this is a heavily saturated topic.

- the article is well written with no mistakes jumping out at me, and it has a clear structure

- the images chosen add to the overall article. the first photos quality is lacking. copyright is being followed, and the media is organized correctly.

- the talk page has some offering other reference material to add to the article, there are grammar corrections. one commenter gave thorough details on how the the article should be restructured. the rating is a B - with references to 5 wiki projects. I do not see any difference with class learning except more technical talk.

- The articles status is a B-, The article does a good job at giving details on Aldos early life and career with interesting media to reference that time. I think it could have more information on how his work has effected environmental science. After reading in entirety the article does feel complete and I am not searching for more information.
