Article Evaluation:

 * Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?

Yes, the topics mentioned in the article seem relevant. However, the artistic contributions part of the article was somewhat confusing. Especially the placement of the section. Benjamin Franklin was mentioned, and it kind of appeared out of nowhere.


 * Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?

This article isn't necessarily neutral due to some phrasing and wording that depicts some personal opinions coming into the mix when listing information. Such as the point where talking about Marie's first marriage proposal, there was some insight provided by the author that seemed biased when explaining how things turned out.


 * Are there viewpoints that are over-represented, or underrepresented?

The viewpoints that are mentioned about her marriage are over-represented. It does go into detail about the whole ordeal. Yet there's not enough representation about her educational background and her other illustrations.


 * Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?

Some of the links work, they also back up some of the claims mentioned in the article. However there is one link that does not work, and leads to a broken Yahoo! page.


 * Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?

There could be more information that is included about her education. Possibly, pertaining to scientific background.


 * How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?

The article is rated as Start Class.

Wiki Assessment:

 * Eels and ducks, an inside joke between my partner and me. Also there's a lot of potential that can be added. In addition, it is written by a woman which isn't extremely common when regarding science. So that served as a source of interest as well.
 * It's missing a deep summary section, information about publication, significance and the background that went into writing this book.
 * I want to add the previously mentioned to the article.

Editing and Article:

Under the Sea Wind: A Naturalist's Picture of Ocean Life (1941) is the first book written by the American marine biologist Rachel Carson. It was published by Simon & Schuster in 1941, when it received very good reviews but sold poorly. After the great success of a sequel The Sea Around Us (Oxford, 1951), it was reissued by Oxford University Press; that edition was an alternate Book-of-the-Month Club selection and became another bestseller. It is recognised today as one of the "definitive works of American nature writing," and is in print as one of the Penguin Nature Classics.

Additions: Under the Sea Wind was based off the article, Undersea previously written by Carson, that was published in the Atlantic Monthly in 1937. Sources: Ferrara, Enzo. (2016).
