Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.


 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic?
 * Is it written neutrally?
 * Does each claim have a citation?
 * Are the citations reliable?
 * Does the article tackle one of Wikipedia's equity gaps (coverage of historically underrepresented or misrepresented populations or subjects)?
 * Check out the article's Talk page to see what other Wikipedians are already contributing. Consider posting some of your ideas to the article's Talk page, too.

Option 1

 * Article title
 * Ecosystem Respiration - Ecosystem respiration


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article was overall pretty short. There were no diagrams/pictures the make the concept easier to understand. The lead section is pretty good. Some of the claims don't have citations. A couple of the sources could be a little better. There isn't that much information on the Talk page. It is considered low importance.

Option 2

 * Article title Depauperate ecosystem
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is written like an essay and it isn't neutral. There is only one citation. There is only one paragraph so there isn't really a lead to lead to the body of the article. This page basically needs to be rewritten entirely.

Option 3 [My choice]

 * Article title Carbon Fixation
 * Article Evaluation
 * The net vs. gross section is confusing. It doesn't talk about net vs. gross at all. It basically sounded like an overview and the picture didn't correspond with the text. This appeared to attempt to be a lead section but was lacking information. This section needs to be reworded and add more information. The article overall seemed to make the concept more confusing than it really is. I think a lot needs to be reworded and maybe restructured for a better flow. The article seemed to be neutral and just presented the facts and didn't seem to be connected with any particular position. The links work and seem to match up with the information shared. The sources are primarily peer-reviewed research articles from reliable publications. The wikitalks section noted my same confusion about the net vs. gross section and noted some confusion with wording. This article is a part of 3 wikiprojects: WikiProject Molecular Biology/Molecular and Cell Biology, Ecology and Geology. I think this is a really important page that needs to be redone so that the information is clear and simple.

Option 4

 * Article title Environmental impact design
 * Article Evaluation
 * The lead paragraph is one sentence so that needs to be expanded. This article is being considered for deletion. They are requiring an engineering expert. I am not sure if I am the right one to edit this article
