The article on Lacustrine plain shows a limited coverage of the topic. It is labeled a "stub" on the Wikipedia page. The structure is not very clear since there isn't a sentence that talks about the overall organization of this article. There isn't an introductory paragraph that could give the readers a preview of the content of this article. In addition, there aren't topic sentences at the beginning of the paragraphs. That makes it hard for readers to follow the logic of the article. Thus, the examples seem disorganized, and they fail to serve their purpose. No sections were created or named, so the points made in this article seem scattered, and there doesn't seem to be a focus.
