Which article are you evaluating?
Ozone depletion

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose because it is an interesting topic with the ever increasing harm to the ozone layer to understand what we have potentially done and what it can lead to. My impression was it was going to explain the damage done to the ozone layer and what caused it.

Evaluate the article
The article starts with an introductory sentence that clearly explains the topic which is ozone depletion and breaks it down into the two components listed. The introductory paragraph mostly covers the major topics that are listed in the continuation of the article providing a clear overview of the topic in regards to the body of the article. The lead is exempt of information that is not contained in the article or anything that might be unrelated to the article. The lead, however, is on the detailed side and can use further summarization for it to be more concise and to the point.

The article dives deep into the causes and the results of ozone depletion as well as public policies that have been implemented covering the entirety of the topic in the body. The content explains historical events surrounding the ozone depletion and covers events up to 2020 which would be regarded as mostly up to date. All the major subparts of the body connect to the depletion of ozone in a major way, so there is no information that is unrelated to the topic. The article also addresses a significant environmental topic that is important to cover.

The article is written in a scientific tone, there is no position taken over the topic. The article only states factual events surrounding the depletion and caused it to happen. As a scientific article there are no viewpoints that are presented only facts demonstrated, so there is an overall neutral tone.

The facts in the article are backed up by journals, articles and books surrounding the topic, so the references supporting the facts of the article are reliable. The sources are thorough and various representing a depth of information available on the topic. Sources mostly span historical events of creation of the holes in the ozone around 1997-2011 but there is also more recent information referencing sources from 2020-2022 on the topic, so the coverage is up-to-date. I checked a couple of links and all of them work and are on the topic provided.
