First Oil Well in Western Canada

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose the article because of its relation to not only geology but our location, the article also seemed fairly untouched so I figured that it could use a reviewing.

Evaluate the article
Lead section

- the lead section was initially a part of the 2 paragraph format of the article, it was clear and concise in its information and leading into what was. going to be talked about through the article.

Content

- All content in the article is relevant to the topic, and up to date. Information and history is not continuously being discovered for a stagnant mine so information has remained the same. Some repetitive content or content that could have gone to a linked page instead has been removed.

Tone and Balance

- The article is unbiased.

Sources and references

- after searching through google scholar I was not able to find any academic articles that detailed western Canadas first Oil well except for the articles main source. Other sources are not academic articles or published journals but are the only available information on this topic. The sources are Alberta official websites and due to this information is correct.

Organization and writing quality

The writing style of the article felt very informal, despite the author knowing what they were talking about there was quite a few run on sentences and sections mixed together that should have been separate or removed. I went through and provided sections and labeling.

Images and media

- The images added (image of landmark of the well and a map of its location) were helpful in aiding readers to visualize what the area looks like, they were not labelled correctly so I changed the labelling but the images themselves are very helpful.

Talk page

- this article did not yet have a talk page so I added to it, my edits and why I made them. Hoping to get a discussion started with the writer.

Overall impression

- overall the article is clear and concise in giving all available information for a subject that is not very highly covered in academic media, it needed a few tweaks/ revisions to organization and has not encountered many editors. Though the article is well on its way to being even more amazing. It is very informative and the writer was able to provide multitudes of information in a very small delivery format. All information provided was helpful and necessary.
