Critique an article Ecological anthropology

This is written by a student studying anthropology and as a Wikipedia training assignment in a WikiEdu course about long-term environmental change. Please let me know if any part of my evaluation seems improper. I would like to suggest some possible improvements for this article. First, though the current lead section do provide a concise introduction of the topic, it does not give enough summary of important contents written in this wiki article. The lead section can be a bit longer and more in detail than it is now. Second, this article can be improved by adding contents that can be found in its references and external links. I can see that the authors added some more references and external links after the talk discussions. However, it would be a lot better if the main contents in that references and links are directly added to this wiki article, since it seems like there are a plenty of important contents missing in this wiki article. The one issue I find in many wiki articles is that though they do show rich contents that can be approached via numerous web links, in many times that external sources are challenging to follow due to overwhelming amounts or yet disorganized contents in their link pages. One of a well-written Wikipedia article's main strengths may be providing detailed information in a concise and common structure and a digestive amount of contents in a single wiki page, and I look forward to this article getting more closer to that. Third, I can see that the authors and discussants involved in this article are concerned about overlapping concepts and ambiguous differences between ecological anthropology and other fields. As far as I am concerned, though ecological anthropology has been developed like an rigid sub-field of anthropology at its early stage, it is a fluid field that cannot and should not be explained by limited definitions. As a lot of sub-fields of various disciplines have flexible boundaries and are composed of theories and methods that go beyond a certain category, thoughts, goals, applications, or future directions of ecological anthropology are all flexible in many ways. Sections "Universities with ecological anthropology programs" and "See also," therefore, can add more university programs and other fields or concepts. Fourth, it needs more references. As described, ecological anthropology is generally considered as a much more fluid sub-field or an overarching thought that a lot of anthropological studies deal with. And a lot of inter-/trans-disciplinary studies, either including an anthropologist or not, may involve certain aspects of ecological anthropology. Thus, numerous references can be added. Lastly, the two of the three external links are not working: Online Journal of Ecological Anthropology, University of South Florida; Open Access Journal entitled "Ecological and Environmental Anthropology." This open access journals can provide how discourses of ecological anthropology and related studies are going on these days, therefore, would better be checked.

Add to an article , May 1 Ecological anthropology

The discipline's one of the approaches for finding such solutions is contemplating which aspects of human nature lead to environmental degradations. Such features of human nature can include a desire for technological innovations, aspiration for higher social status, and preoccupied or biased inclination to social justice.
