Evaluate the article
In general, the lead section covered all of the article's major points. While the introduction paragraph provides a quick overview, the description adequately describes most of the article's contents. However, the lead section made only a passing reference to the section on "Recognizing Vulnerability and Adaptation Capacity." The lead should include a brief description of the solution to the problem in case the reader is seeking for a rapid overview of the content.

The content in the article is extremely adequate for the topic. All of the sections are relevant to the topic. However the “Acknowledgements for Increased Risk” section and the “Climate change impact on people with a disability” section are missing information in comparison to the other sections. In order to enhance these sections, subsections should be created. In the “Acknowledgements for Increased Risk” section there should be more information about the agreements mentioned. In the “Climate change impact on people with a disability” section it would be beneficial to add more information about the UN flagship report. It would also be interesting to add more information about how “issues like discrimination, marginalization and other social and economical factors affect the degree of intensity that climate change affects people with disabilities.” Additionally in the “Climate change related disadvantages” section there are some gaps. When discussing the “right to international mobility” it would be helpful to include examples and a more clear definition. Overall, the changes are minor but beneficial.

Overall the article’s tone is neutral and concise. In the lead section there is a phrase that could actually be edited: “Typically, disabled people are the most likely to be negatively affected by any form of emergency.” When using the word “typically” it tends to come off as biased so supporting facts would be beneficial here. Besides that section the article is simply stating facts and conveying information in a neutral manner.

The sources linked in the article are reliable and easy to navigate. All of the articles mentioned are taken from reliable sources such as the United Nations and official studies. Additionally the sources are current, ranging from 2020-2021. All in all, the sources are optimal for the article.

After reading the article, I noticed how succinct and clear it was. As far as I could tell, the grammar was correct and there were few spelling issues. Additionally, the paper was well-structured, making it simple to follow along and identify essential topics.

In regards to images and media there are no negative critiques. The images enhance the information whilst adhering to Wikipedia’s copyright regulations. The images are placed in a way that is organized and does not interrupt the information presented in the text.

So far the article has not received any questions or comments in the talk page. Additionally, we have not dived into the topic of individuals with disabilities and climate change, but it would be interesting to. Furthermore, once we discuss this topic maybe some students can include their input in the talk page.

The essay is written in a straightforward manner, which makes it simple for the reader to follow up and absorb the material. Additionally, the material is derived from credible and trustworthy sources. A significant improvement to the article would be to include additional information in the subsections to expand on the subject. Additionally, while the article is quite well-developed, it is lacking in information.
