Which article are you evaluating?
(Ecophobia)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I had never heard of the term "ecophobia" before and it sounded interesting. Upon reading, it seems like it's a term that is certainly relevant to current times and is poised to enter into the popular vernacular soon if not already. I think having a clear definition for this term is important for the sake of clear communication. You don't want on person saying ecophobia and another person interpreting it as something that is not encompassed by the term. Albeit short, the article was easy to read, understand, and apply.

Evaluate the article
This article does include a good and concise topic sentence that sets the tone for the rest of the article. The content is relevant, but there just isn't much content. I would consider adding more examples of uses in popular culture or perhaps site more studies that div into public perception as they did. For what writing there is, it is neutral. There are plenty of references and citations, all of which are less than 12 years old. All of them pertain to the article and the author even provided further reading suggestions. This article was rates as a stub medium importance article, and it is a part of the environment WikiProject. There is no action on the talk page. Overall, I think that this article is bare-bones but has a strong foundation. It strongly defines the topic it is addressing but doesn't elaborate at all on it. I think it needs more editing but with the same standards as are already put in place.
