Which article are you evaluating?
Ecolinguistics

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I have an interest in interdisciplinary learning. I have some experience with environmental science and I have an interest in linguistics so I thought learning how the two fields interact would be enjoyable. My first impression of the article was that it was not as detailed as other Wikipedia articles that I have seen but seemed like it provided a reasonable overview of the topic.

Evaluate the article
Overall I felt that this article was useful to at least understand the basics of ecolinguistics. The lead section is fairly comprehensive. I felt that it provided a good overview of the topic that the rest of the article seemed to build off of. All of the content in the article was directly relevant to ecolinguistics and the article gave equal weight to both aspects of ecolinguistics. There does not seem to be a lot of information overall but the information that was presented felt like it was discussed fairly neutrally, however, here were only two aspects of the topic discussed so there is probably more information that is relevant that is not in the article. The flow of the article felt very natural and overall it did not feel awkward to read. There were a lot of sources used for this article, though only a few of them are linked. There doesn't seem to be too much discussion on the Talk page, but according to the talk page this article is still in its fledgeling phase as a part of the linguistics WikiProject, which is why there is probably not too much discussion about it. I think that this article does well with keeping a neutral tone and the information that is there is very helpful but it does need to be further developed, primarily through adding more information, to be a more well-rounded article. The diversity of the sources seems like a good thing and most of the sources seem to come from academic journals so the resources in this article are reliable as well.
