Candle wick

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this article because I believe that candle wicks are aspects of candles that are not thought about. When the word "candle" is said, most people think of the scent instead of the candle wick. Candle wicks matter as they are the reasoning for the candle to burn. It is important to know how candles work and what makes them work the way they do. My first impression of this article is that it seems strong and informative as there is information on how a candle wick works, different wick types, stiffeners, and pretreatments of wicks.

This article gets straight to the point by defining what a candle wick is and what is it used for. In the lead, the ideas of what the rest of the article are stated, but not summarized. I feel like for a good article, the ideas will be summarized so that it the readers know what is coming up later in the article. The content of the article is relevant to the subject, however I wish there was more information on how the candle wick works and what goes through the process. The article is neutral and does not show any bias when it comes to the information. The information in the article is from websites that seem reliable. This article is well written and easy to read and pictures are included to emphasize the writing so that you can see what is being talked about.
