Option 1
[edit]- Article title
- Rock cycle
- Article Evaluation
- The article's content is relevant to the topic, and has a good neutral description. The article is lacking a variety of sources as well as recent sources, although the sources that it does use are not integrated into the text as inline citations. This article does not cover an equity gap. There is constructive discussion, although there is a lack of notice to the missing inline citations, and there aren't any current discussion threads.
- Sources
- Peloggia, A. U. G. (2018). The rock cycle of the Anthropocene; inserting human agency into the earth system. Revista Do Instituto Geológico (São Paulo), 39(1), 1–13. https://doi.org/10.5935/0100-929X.20180001
- This is an interesting source based on how human influence effects the current rock cycle. This is not mentioned in the article and could be a good addition. Furthermore, the article needs to have the inline citations fixed.
Option 2
[edit]- Article title
- Epidote
- Article Evaluation
- The article's content is relevant to the topic, and is a fairly good neutral description.This article is primarily based off of old sources and is in need of an update, because of this information will be missing since it has been more than 100 years since the primary source was published. This article does not cover an equity gap. The talk page has very limited content in it, but the stuff it does is not necessary to the article, since its a bout a specific region of no real significant value other than some local American history.
- Sources
- Franz, G., & Liebscher, A. (2018). Epidotes (G. Franz & A. Liebscher, Eds.). De Gruyter,. https://doi.org/10.1515/9781501509599
This source is an academic overhaul and compilation of the known species of epidote. This would be a great resource to update the Wikipedia article.
Option 3
[edit]- Article title
- Shield (geology)
- Article Evaluation
- The article covers the subject in a neutral way. The article has sections of text that is not cited, and more citations are needed to verify the validity of the articles content. This article does not tackle any equity gaps. The talk page is fairly active with lots of disscusion on things being added and removed. Some people have noticed the lack of citations in the article.
- Sources
- Vrevskii, A. B. (2019). Non-Subduction Petrological Mechanisms for the Growth of the Neoarcheam Continental Crust of the Kola–Norwegian Terrane, Fennoscandian Shield: Geological and Isotope-Geochemical Evidence. Petrology, 27(2), 146–170. https://doi.org/10.1134/S0869591119020073
- Lobach-Zhuchenko, S. B., Rollinson, H. R., Chekulaev, V. P., Arestova, N. A., Kovalenko, A. V., Ivanikov, V. V., Guseva, N. S., Sergeev, S. A., Matukov, D. I., & Jarvis, K. E. (2005). The Archaean sanukitoid series of the Baltic Shield; geological setting, geochemical characteristics and implications for their origin. Lithos, 79(1-2), 107–128. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.lithos.2004.04.052
Some articles that describe the formation of shields, there is a very short general explanation of how they come to be in the article.This could be expanded on.
Option 4
[edit]- Article title
- Gallic epoch
- Article Evaluation
- The writing very generally covers the topic but is biased in terms of saying the subject is obsolete.This article has no sources, but is just copy and pasted from another website Wikiwand. This article does not tackle equity gaps. The talk page has nothing in it.
- Sources
- There very limited sources for this topic, where the topic is just mentioned and not described. From the limited sources it seems the topic is unnecessary and is described by other terms. therefore the article should be removed from the site.
- DIKOW, T. (2009). Phylogeny of Asilidae Inferred from Morphological Characters of Imagines (Insecta: Diptera: Brachycera: Asiloidea). Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History, 319(319), 1–175. https://doi.org/10.1206/603.1
Option 5
[edit]- Article title
- Compaction (geology)
- Article Evaluation
- The article's content is relevant to the topic, and is neutrally written. More sources could be used to support the content of the first paragraph, as some claims are without citations. The citations are reliable from peer reviewed journals, and some recent studies. This article does not tackle equity gaps. The talk page has one thread, where someone asked a questions and it was answered. Generally this article is limited in content and current work is not being done on the subject.
- Sources
- Dasgupta, T., & Mukherjee, S. (2020). Sediment Compaction and Applications in Petroleum Geoscience (1st ed. 2020.). Springer International Publishing. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-13442-6
- This source would improve the article because its recent, and a reliable source. The topic covered is useful because the main application for this type of research is for the petroleum industry.
