User:VickyNickyL/Evaluate an Article

I am enrolled in a Digital Media Literacy course, and I am learning how to properly edit Wikipedia pages. For my article I chose, Sustainability Studies which goes over finding new and more sustainable solutions to our environmental effects.

The lead to this source is extremely well written and all the information is written in a concise way. Although this article was updated two months prior to March 20, 2021 many concerns about how much information is present. I should say lacking. They go over a very brief history, present, and future for a sustainable future. They do a good job of not swaying towards one side of the issue and hold bias at one end. Although, it does seem like they want you to get elbows deep in the effort to help our environment. Instead, they need to allow the reader to educate themselves and make a choice to help where they can. With their sources, many seem appropriate at first glance but not all are written within the last year. One article was as old as 2011. Thankfully, the authors of this page worked very hard to avoid spelling and grammatical errors and did a good job at making the content easy to understand. The graph placed in the article was not properly cited and where it came from was not mentioned upfront in the text.


 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic?
 * Is it written neutrally?
 * Does each claim have a citation?
 * Are the citations reliable?
 * Does the article tackle one of Wikipedia's equity gaps (coverage of historically underrepresented or misrepresented populations or subjects)?
 * Check out the article's Talk page to see what other Wikipedians are already contributing. Consider posting some of your ideas to the article's Talk page, too.

Sadly overall, this article is not a trustworthy one. Some mistakes found in this article include but are not limited to: bias, poor sources, poor use of citations, and lack of information. With this in mind, this may have lead to the page not being taken seriously and nothing being posted in the talk section.
