Which article are you evaluating?
Southern California Gas Company

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) is one of the leading gas infrastructure creators in the Ventura County region. The impacts of SoCalGas' operations are grave, and accurate and unbiased information about any hazards should be made available to the general public. My preliminary impression of this article was that it is very poorly done and needs serious revision and augmentation.

Evaluate the article
This article is highly biased towards a positive positioning of the company's history and does not give a full history of or include all relevant information about the topic. Its history section includes only information about the company's growth, rather than mentioning any of its many controversies. The environmental impact section features only one of many past and present instances of SoCalGas' complicated effects on the environment and public health.

Regarding references, this article is alarmingly lacking in any citations whatsoever, with many sources being associated with and published by the company itself. Well over the majority of the fact-dense history section is completely without citation, and one of the only three citations that were included in this section before my edits is a promotional blog post made by the company that is heavily biased.
