The featured article I chose is Cabbage .
- Scholarship: Take the 2nd reference for example, the authors of it are K.A. Delahaut and A.C. Newenhouse. K.A. Delahaut is an outreach specialist with the Integrated Pest Management Program at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and the University of Wisconsin–Extension, Cooperative Extension. A.C. Newenhouse is a senior scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison working on projects in a wide range of topics. She performs research, writes publications, produces outreach materials, and analyzes data. Currently at the Department of Biological Systems Engineering she works with the Midwest Rural Energy Council. With a background in horticulture, Astrid has field research experience on topics including crop water use, nutrient management, nitrogen loss to tile drains, living mulches to reduce pesticide use, information dissemination for farmers, rural occupational and public health interventions, and ergonomic tools for small scale farmers. In Extension, Astrid has worked in 4-H curriculum development, Master Gardener training, Wisconsin Master Naturalist training, and outreach to fresh market farmers. Astrid is a regular guest on WI Public Radio and has worked extensively on The Wisconsin Gardener TV show. This book <Growing broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and other cole crops in Wisconsin> was published on the website of the University of Wisconsin on 08/12/2012. From my point of view, this information within the source is independently verifiable because these 2 authors are not benefit-related if they give a positive or negative viewpoint, that is for independence, and, for verifiability, these sources are reliable because it is written by 2 experts in this particular field-- Agriculture.
- Context: The source has been already published for more than 7 years while the topic was promoted as featured article on 24/2/2014, unluckily, the age of the topic cannot be found yet. The source therefore is appropriate to be referenced in this article. The targeted audience is probably are gardeners, farmers, agriculture/vegetable scientists who will get useful information from the book.
- Content: The sources does not omit anything important or overrepresent others because the content has been divided into 12 sections and mainly focused on the planting, transplanting and culture which will generally be thought as the most important part to the farmers and gardeners.
