Article Evaluation
I am evaluating an article that I found under Academic Disciplines and then under Architectural Theory. The title of my article is Natural Building. This article discusses a unique type of building that is made from all renewable, recycled, and minimally processed materials. The article has two sections, one talks about the materials, and the other talks about different techniques for constructing natural buildings.

Evaluating content
All of the information in this article is relevant to the topic, but I do think that some additional information could be added. Some good things to add would maybe be some real life examples of these types of buildings.

Evaluating tone
I don't think that this article is biased. It discusses the ecological benefits of these types of structures, but the purpose is to inform not to persuade.

Evaluating Sources
The first thing that I noticed on the page was a note from Wikipedia requesting more in-text citations. The article does a good job of listing its references at the end, but the writer seems to have forgotten about in-text citation. There are several places throughout the article that a citation is needed. The links on the page do work and so do the reference links. So, the writer did a good job of finding reliable sources and utilizing them, but forgot in-text citations, which could be considered plagiarism.

Checking the Talk Page
There is a lot of discussion about the technical term for these types of building and whether "green" and "natural" building are the same or different. There are also several suggestions about adding techniques to the article. This article is apart of the WikiProject Environment. We really haven't gotten to talking about these types of building in class yet.

French Gothic architecture
The information in this article looks like a good amount, but when I went to the talk page I noticed that this article was ranked of High-Importance, but in the Start-Class on the quality scale, which means the Wiki Project feels that it needs improvements. This article is also apart of two Wiki Projects and both of them have ranked it the same. When I checked the talk page there was not really any discussion on the article, which indicates it could use some attention. There really weren't any requests for citations and the article had a lot of references at the bottom, but not very many in-text citations. There was a good link at the very bottom to a website with 360 degree views of various Gothic France buildings. The article seemed to be unbiased, but I did notice the article was very disorganized and hard to follow. I think all the information was relevant, but it was hard to tell because the information was all over the place and had no organization to help readers understand all of the content. I think this article has a good start and lots of good content, but could use some refinement and organization.

Byzantine architecture
This article basically has cries for help. The first thing I noticed when clicking on the page was a message at the top stating the problems with the page. This article is missing sources and the notification at the top says that it relies heavily on one source and lacks in-text citations. The notification at the top is also requesting that the article be translated to multiple languages, but this is not something that I can help with. When I clicked on the Talk Page I noticed that this article is apart of 3 Wiki Projects: Architecture, Middle Ages, and Greece/Byzantine. Two of the WikiProjects rated it as High important with a Start-Class quality and the other has it rated as a high importance with a B-Class quality. There is a notification at the top stating that this article is a level-4 vital article and so if I can improve it please do. There are several discussion posts on the Talk Page and one of them requests that something be added to acknowledge the Non-church architecture of the Byzantine period. I think the content that is currently on the page is relevant to the topic and has a good tone, but I think that more content could be added to the article as well as more sources and information and the Byzantine time period.

History of landscape architecture
This article is missing sources completely. There is a notification at the top of the page asking editors to add sources. When looking at the talk page this article is not apart of any WikiProjects at the moment. It also does not have any good discussion going on. This article appears to have not been reviewed or looked at very much, if at all. The article appears to have a good start with a good structure and some relevant information, but seems to be missing a lot of content. What is written so far does not have any biases and seems to be good information, but since it has no sources it cannot be trusted unless it can be backed up. This article could definitely use some edits, but it may not be my best candidate since it is not apart of any WikiProjects and doesn't seem to be read. The one thing I did notice about this article that is good is that there is a lot of peer reviewed articles on the topic which is good for writing a reliable article that is well researched.
