Environmental science

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article from the list of suggested academic articles since it is somewhat related to my field of study at school. It was interesting reading about the history of the subject and seeing how long it has been around, as well as how it has grown and evolved as a field of study.

Evaluate the article
The lead section is a strong opener to the article. It is concise, unbiased, and gives a good overview of the content to follow. It doesn't list every detail of the article, but it provides a detailed enough summary for someone just looking to get a basic understanding of the topic. The content itself is detailed and thorough, organized, and unbiased. It sources plenty of outside information as well as links to other related articles on Wikipedia. The media included is relevant but not overwhelming. The talk page is lengthy, and shows a history of edits that have improved the article as a whole.
