(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I decided to evaluate this article because I have known a little bit of information prior from other classes I am currently taking/previously taken.

The article goes over the definition of cyberwarfare and how it has been commonly named "cyberwar" and "cyberterrorism" which are larger scaled and more violent versions of cyberwarfare. These separating definitions was a good thing to mention here, this shows the line drawn between each term. The lead section does state things that are restated within the body of the article. Cyberwarfare can represent a multitude of techniques, tactics, and threats and the article then goes over the types of threats and warfare. Afterwards, the article talks about the different motivations of cyberwarfare varying from military, civil, private sectors, etc. I did notice that the page for Sandro Gaycken does not exist (under the first paragraph under Motivations). Cyber activities are noted and separately labels from continent to country - including the ones stated in the lead paragraph, under South Korea there is no page that exists linked to W32.Dozer and under Netherlands there is no page linked to the National Cyber Security Centrum. Under Legal perspective Alexander Merezhko also is linked to a page that does not exist. I did not recognize a biased tone, I found the article neutral and clear. Because of the large amount of information within the article, it does seem like it is well developed though it seems a little overbearing to read/reread (in the short amount of time given in class), in order to check each reference - through there are a few things (notes within the evaluation) that are linked but to pages that do not exist.
