Evaluate the article
The Wikipedia article Environmental Science is overly detailed and includes a long list of other sciences that can be integrated into environmental science but should be listed after the first sentence to improve readability. The lead section in this article would benefit from re-organization. The content of this article is generally relevant; however, more up-to-date information would be beneficial to this page as the most recent date in the article is about the 2016 climate conference, and an update about this agreement and new information would be beneficial to this page. The Wikipedia page contains references for many peer-reviewed articles and websites written by reliable sources. The organization and readability of this article could be improved by moving up more relevant sections of the lead section and organizing them by the format of the rest of the article. The article mentions environmental studies and environmental engineering, which is less relevant and could be placed under the terminology section as related terminology. The Environmental Science page is rated as a C-class article and therefore needs improvement and the removal of irrelevant information. The talk page discussion for this article has many recommendations and shows evidence that this article has been improved; however, there are still improvements to be made. The article has sections on other science disciplines and their relation to environmental science. Still, it does not mention the environmental impacts of resource extraction, which environmental scientists may study. However, the article notes some topics discussed in class, including the industrial revolution and types of clean energy. Overall this article gives readers a good history of the study of environmental sciences but lacks organization and critical information regarding the anthropocentric effects of resource extraction that environmental scientists might study.
