Option 1

 * Article title:
 * Greenbelt (Ottawa)
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is quite brief. It refers to the Greenbelt as "among the largest urban parks in the world". This statement isn't supported by a reference and I am hesitant to agree that it should be referred to as a park. There should be more information on the species of flora and fauna of the area, the underlying geology and bedrock, and how much land is dedicated to what kinds of use (ie. what percentage is farmland, forest, etc). I also think the title of it should be changed to Ottawa Greenbelt, it's more straightforward. Most of the sources for this are from the City of Ottawa or the National Capital Commission, which are closely affiliated with the Greenbelt and own the land.
 * Perhaps a section should be added about controversies over it, because there seems to be quite a few. Also a section on the greenbelt's policies, because it is not clear from this Wikipedia page.
