Copper is a resource which relates to the course. I have previously conducted some research on prehistoric uses and smelting techniques and myself performed an experiment in smelting malachite in line with ancient techniques.

Evaluate the article
The lead section provides an adequate summary of the topic. The article is very thorough. As copper is such a widely used metal with many applications and a history of use, it is to be expected that there is a long list of sections. They all seem to be well written and relevant. There are a few grammatical errors occasionally, one of which I fixed to practice editing. The article is neutral throughout. The references are plentiful throughout the article, and all claims appear to be backed up. Images add to the content and are well cited. The Talk page is full of many edits, some denied, but many appear to be from users knowledgeable in the section they are editing, fixing chemical equations for example, or catching errors in citations.

Overall this is a well written well established article. There are a few grammar errors throughout but these are minor and the content available in the article is still good quality.
