Which article are you evaluating?
Endangered American Wilderness Act of 1978

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I choose this article because my topic is about the Wilderness Acts in particular the Wilderness Act of 1964. This article is set up in a similar way that I would want to set my article up as so by doing this evaluation it will allow me to see the wholes in this pages so I don't do it in mine.

Evaluate the article
Lead:

- This article really doesn't have a lead. They go right into talking about the Wilderness Act but never address an overview of what the reader will learn or gain from reading the article. There is no introductory sentence. The article also doesn't give an overview of what the main sections are.

Content

- The content is this article is thorough and has all of the legal information I would want and need about this act. The content is also up to date and includes all of the Legislative History of the act. I also liked all of the links provided with more information on a protected land.

Tone and Balance

- Overall the tone of the article is neutral. The author does a good job of just reporting the information and not making it know what he feels about the Act and preservation. Even when discussing the background information the author does a good job about staying neutral and strictly reporting information.

Sources and References

- A lot of this articles sources come from the same website. The website is a .gov reliable website but there needs to be more variety in the sources. I also feel like with he amount of information presented the author should have more sources.

Organization and Writing Quality

- This article was organized well and the headings were helpful. The article was free of grammatical errors and was concise.
