Article Evaluation

article= Remote Sensing

evaluate:

tone- Formal, direct and instructive. I think that the current tone of the article is appropriate as there is no instance of bias as much of the information shared is factual.

content- I think the content is organized very well. There is a clear structure that introduces one to remote sensing with going over the types of data acquisition, then moves on to the more technical subject of data processing, and then the history. I think these three components are the most important to get a good overall idea of what Remote Sensing is. I think that the sections after those are placed in a good spot because those are for very interested readers who want greater detail.

sources- There are many sources for this page and they all seem to be good. I saw some references to NASA documents/ the NASA website, books and scientific papers.

talk page- There is lots of continuing editing going on! There are some comments in the talk page that have to do with changing the wording/making information more accurate. There is also a comment about general confusion as to what remote sensing is... somebody asked if the article is about geology, so this leads me to believe that it should be improved.

I think it would be cool to add a section that shows several examples of the applications of remote sensing across many fields. It would be interesting to readers to see how satellites are used on Earth and for other objects in the Solar System. It may also be worthwhile mentioning some of the most noteable discoveries that have been made with remote sensing.
