Article Evaluations
I evaluated the article page "Environmentalism" on Wikipedia which had the URL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmentalism.Overall, the article was reliable and did not need many changes. One thing I noticed was that some of the references did not include links to the source text. Another questionable citation reference was number 9 on "In the Fourth Year: Anticipations of a World Peace." This quotation had a link that takes you to another wikipedia page about the text that was cited. Additionally the 10th reference about the "Clean Air Act" is a citation from an unreliable source. The external link takes you to a page written by a someone at Colby College that is a brief paragraph of unsupported information. I also noticed some minor grammar and awkward wording that I went ahead and changed on the page. Overall, the article maintained a neutral tone and seemed to incorporate many perspectives without seeming biased. I would consider it a reliable source in a scholarly work I was citing.
