Braided river

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article to evaluate because I am interested in the geomorphology of aquatic environments. I think braided rivers are unique in formation and are beautiful in landscapes.

The "Lead" section provided a concise overview of topic. It differentiated braided rivers from meandering channels and briefly described conditions of their formations and where they can be found. However, it does not mention Anastomosing rivers (which is also different from braided rivers) which should have been included in the intro or in my opinion removed since it is a different feature. It may be more useful to include this as a link under "See also".

The "Formation" section was easy easy to read and follow but I am a little skeptical of the threshold values and discussion around this. That source was from 1972 and may not be the best source-to-date to make overall conclusions in determining braided vs meandering formations.

The "Example" section was a nice thing to include and highlights braided rivers around the world. It has several links for the countries and rivers listed which enhances the article's page. However, I think the images used in this section could be better since they only consist of New Zealand and the United States. After listing several different countries it creates gaps in the images.
