Which article are you evaluating?
Sustainability studies(Provide a link to the article here.)

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.)

I chose this topic since it seems relevant to studying the ways the environment is changing, and sustainability is rapidly increasing in popularity as well as new ways to live sustainably. It is important that the sources are credible and the proper citations are used for a newer subject.

Evaluate the article

 * The lead section is not very concise and links to a lot of different sources without really telling what this is going to be about. It is very overly detailed without giving the reader a clear vision of what they can expect from the article. It feels like the intro to an essay of why sustainability is versatile and good.
 * The content was relevant to the topic, however it was not up to date. It relied heavily on a single source, and that source was from 2018 which is 6 years ago. It focused a lot on the United Nations instead of what sustainability is as a whole, and feels like it is missing a lot of information.
 * The article feels very biased toward pro-sustainability, which I agree with, however, it is not in a neutral tone which is crucial and vital when editing a Wikipedia page. There was a lack of relevant images and it was just more graphs and one other chart. It felt like it was very incomplete.
 * There wasn't a lot of discourse on the talk page, but the comments that were made pointed out the flaws of the article which is a good sign that this article is in good hands and is on the way to becoming a more credible and relevant source.

Overall, this article needs a lot of work and to begin this work I would begin by expanding the sources instead of relying on one heavily, creating a better lead section with more of an overview of the page and topic itself, and then alter the language to ensure it is in a neutral tone.
