Article evaluation

I'm evaluating the Edible mushroom article. The article is limited on content and detail. It needs more detail on what a edible mushroom is. There's information on harvesting which includes where and how much is harvested in different countries from 2011. This should be updated. A few specific mushrooms had a red link indicating they don't have an article created. Also appears the list of edible mushrooms may not be complete.

I thought some of the content was random like pictures of assorted variety of edible mushrooms. The pictures don't have details on the mushroom names and the pictures should be from a trusted source. I think the history of mushroom use should be move down the page and the nutrients moved up with additional detail and sources added. The entire article needs additional reliable sources. There's not a lot of direct links and it was difficult to verify the article content.

The Edible mushroom article is part of the WikiProject Fungi and WikiProject Food and drink. The article is listed as class C on the quality scale in both WikiProjects. There weren't any recent conversations happening on the talk page. Some discussions mentioned missing information and even merging topics. Some users that left comments no longer have an existing user account or the comment wasn't signed at all. Quite a few IP addresses were used as a username, which indicates not logging in and can mean a shared account with multiple users. The majority of discussions were good conversations and mild. I did find an example of harassment with one user calling another user ignorant and some overall rude behavior.

Article selection

Research articles and references.

Current article choice

"John Day River (northwestern Oregon)"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Day_River_(northwestern_Oregon)

This article could use additional detail and images. Quite a bit of content on the internet but not a lot in the CCC library that I've located so far.

Second choice

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_words

This article doesn't have a lot of information. Lots of different beliefs and history around this topic. I'm look further into the history piece to see what's appropriate to add to Wikipedia.
