= Article Evaluation = Article: African Conservation Foundation

This article seems to have been written in a hurry. For one, "organization" is spelled wrong multiple times in the article. The contents of the article are also very short, ranging from 1-4 sentences in each section. Before reading the article, I expected to see information regarding the organizations conservation techniques and their mission statement. These sections should have been the longest but in fact were some of the shortest. There are no claims that seem biased in this article because it is fact based and only includes information that a reader can find for themselves on the ACF's website.

I noticed that the author of the article makes definitive statements that only tell the reader what the organization does but not how. For example, "Through its website, the organisation provides conservation news and action alerts, information about jobs and volunteer opportunities, and seeks to educate people on conservation issues in Africa. ACF involves volunteers in various aspects of its work, online and in the field." The only information about the organization's contribution to education is that they are contributors. There is no information telling me how they go about doing that.

All of the links within the article do work, however many of the links are not cited sources for where his information is coming from. Instead, they are links to other articles about broad topics such as, "endangered species", "tropical forest", and "biodiversity". The only external link that pertains to the subject of the article is the organization's own website which they only cite when referencing the ACF's mission statement.

The talk page is empty except for the one comment made by InternetArchiveBot which added the link to the organization's website. This indicates that the author did not add the only citation that he even has on his article.

Overall, I don't think this article is a reliable source of information at all considering that it's short, missing information, and has no cited sources. More information needs to be included about how the ACF follows through with their mission statement and what contributions they are actually making to Africa. The last time the article was edited was June 27, 2017 when the InternetArchiveBot added that link to the article. I also do not see any ratings or indications that this article is part of any WikiProjects.
