Commodification of Nature


 * Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?
 * Although I see the point of the "Specific Examples" section near the end, it feels odd to include in a Wikipedia article. Like a powerpoint presentation was copied and pasted into it.
 * Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?
 * The article seems to be up to date. Some sections could be improved upon with newer works Looking through the references, mostly all were written before 2000 so references aren't that out of date.
 * What else could be improved?
 * The examples section, if it should be left in there, could be expanded. Another section is the "Crisis and resistance" section because each section could definitely have more content.
 * Is the article neutral? Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
 * Is not neutral, author writes this article against commodification. Does not include any positions that would be in support.
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
 * The positive aspects of commodification. Little, if not any, support of this side.
 * Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?
 * Yes
 * Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted
 * Facts took the form of quotes, and all quotes had a reference. Most references came from books and only some online articles were used.
 * What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic
 * Both peer reviews see the article as well structured and thorough. However, there are some sections that could be expanded. The first reviewer thinks "Reclaiming the commons" could be expanded while the second reviewer thinks some lines could be taken out to improve flow.
 * How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?
 * Rated well. Not part of any projects
 * How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class
 * Have not talked about it in class.
