(Environmental communication) Talk:Environmental communication

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose to evaluate environmental communication because it was a topic that seemed very interesting to me. I don’t know a lot about it therefore me reading this article and looking more into the facts and details will help me have a better understanding of it. Environmental communication matters because it has to do with environment, the environment changes, and goes through a lot. But more importantly, it dives down Into the communication aspects of it whether that may be research, society, or different practices regarding the environment. When taking a first glance at the article, I thought it would be very silly and not some thing that I would want to learn about, but looking at the first paragraph, the article really caught my attention and I wanted to learn more about it.

Evaluate the article
Content

When looking at the article, a lot of the information is relevant to the articles topic. There was some things that distracted me, and some words just didn’t fit with what the article had to say. A lot of the information is a bit out of date ranging from 2017 to 2019. There is no noticeable equity gaps in the article does a great job of including all of the population of the world and not leaving out anybody in particular I feel in improvement wise, the article could dig a lot deeper in just focusing on environmental communication itself.

Tone

The article is a great job of remaining neutral. At no point was there any biased type of feeling when I was reading it. I feel that the viewpoints being displayed in the article were definitely under represented, and there could be more information to back up on what the article claims about environmental communication.

Sources

In the article, all of the links work, great the sources, in fact to do support with the article claims. But sometimes the article veers off from what the article should really be about. There is one citation that was missing in the article towards the end of the article. Most facts are referenced with an appropriate reliable source. Only a very few are missing most. The information has links to other Wikipedia articles that go into more depth when it comes to diversity the article is a great job of switching it up and having multiple authors and publications.

Talk Page

When looking at the talk page, there is very few and maybe even no conversations behind the scenes about the topic of environmental communication. The article is rated pretty well. In my opinion. It is a level five viral article in the society. It is also part of a WikiProject regarding environment as well as WikiProject Media.

Impressions

In my opinion the articles overall status is not the best. I feel that there is a lot better written articles out there that have proper organization as well as citations. This article in particular lacked in those two areas. As far as the strengths of the article, I feel it does a great job of explaining how important environment is, but can do a better job and talking about the communication aspect of it. I feel that if the article stayed on its agenda, more accurately, had proper organization, and really focused on citing all sources correctly. It would be a top-of-the-line article about environmental communication. When talking about the development of the article. I think it is underdeveloped since there is more work that can be done.
