Article Evaluation
Content: The material currently present in the article is relevant to the topic of mafic rocks, however a portion of the article also focuses on felsic rocks, another type of igneous rock, and compares them to mafic rocks. Additionally, there are redundancies in the information in the article: the first sentences of the first and second paragraphs repeat the same descriptions with different syntaxes. Furthermore, in the main body of the article, there are only three short paragraphs of information accompanied by a table and one picture, so there are likely more details that could be added to expand the article. The article contains many links to other Wikipedia pages, mostly to chemical elements or examples of minerals and rocks. The article appears to be relatively up to date as one of the sources is from June of 2019.

Tone: The tone of the article can be described as neutral as the article generally focuses on physical and chemical descriptions of mafic rocks without using loaded or connotative language.

Sources: There are currently only three sources for the article, one of which is a glossary definition for mafic. A majority of the information in the article appears to come from the second source, which is a physics article from Georgia State University focusing on mafic and basaltic rocks.

Talk Page: There are currently four sections on the talk page. The article is part of two WikiProjects: WikiProject Volcanoes and WikiProject Geology. The article has been rated as stub-class for both projects and mid-importance and low-importance, respectively.
