First Assignment: Evaluate Wikipedia

- Each fact has either a link connecting to another page or a relevant article that delineated the data and facts expressed in the page. The articles are all science-based articles with sufficient data utilized.

- The etiology of the term "Climate change" seemed like it didn't fit with the other materials present in the page, but all the data was relevant to the studies present in the page.

- The article is largely neutral, given the fact that all the evidence provided were derived from academic papers and thus was very objective and therefore was not biased. There were some opinion papers, with most written in science-orientated organizations like NASA, but there was a level of objectivity and thus had minimal bias if present.

- The viewpoint of the side claiming that climate change is "controversial" was underrepresented, but given the lack of data to support such a opinion, it's lack of representation is understandable.

- Citations work properly and there is no outright evidence of plagiarism in the page. The information is also very relevant as well.

- it is semi protected due to the surrounding controversy, which makes it vulnerable to unnecessary change. The information is not out of date and is relevant to the subject material.

- The discussion in the interpretation of work in the article show cases a level of respect.
