Theodore Roosevelt National Park

 * Article Evaluation
 * Information contained in this article is relevant to the topic, as it begins with a description of the park (size, geographical area, nearby towns) and continues with the history involving the President, activities to do there, and weather to expect while visiting. While all of the information is relevant, it still lacks extensive information on conservation practices, the nearby oil drilling and its impacts, and indigenous history. Authors of this article have obviously visited the Park and are knowledgeable about what visitors could do there, but they have left it unbiased. The History section about Roosevelt's first experience with the lands does not include links leading to where information about how he fell in love with the lands, death of his family, and the book he wrote. Species in the park do not have a source listed--perhaps the information comes from personal experience. Largely the article lacks citations. The citations included are reliable.
