Option 3

Article title
Ecophobia
Article Evaluation
  • Has a good lead section, however it contains a link to another wikipedia article that does not exits and therefore needs to be remedied.
  • Has a Table of Contents which is extremely helpful.
  • Has an ample amount of sources, does not need improvement in that section.
  • Also includes a section for "Further reading," which allows readers to dive deeper into the topic if they choose.
  • Because it references other wikipedia articles, it needs an "External Links" section as well.
  • Good content, but more sections could be added that discuss the intersectionality between the topic and other related topics.
  • Could add imagery.
  • Contains some awkward sentences that require minor adjustments.
  • Tone appears neutral, doesn't seem to contain any bias.
  • Overall, a really good draft between the first draft and the final draft. Requires some minor tweaks but nothing huge.
