Evaluation assignment.

• What is the article's overall status? is published but needs some polishing to fully complete this and some in-depth sources to clear things up.
• How would you asses the articles completeness? Could need an extra sub section and some more in-depth sections of already written areas.
• Do all images adhere to Wikipedia's regulations? Yes it does. It does so by making sure each of the images are properly sourced.
• What are the article's strengths? it does a great job at explaining some of the basics of what may cause a ghost forests and what they may look like.
• How can the article be improved? well yes it could have some more deeper explanations and better sources other than the ones that are there like maybe some scientific papers about the subject or primary sources.
• Does the article include images that enhance understanding of the topic? yes the article does enhance the article by showing what ghost forests are.
• Are images well-captioned? Yes the images are well captioned and explain what they are.
• Is the article well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read? Personally I think it is well written and I can understand what they are saying but the article does have a warning about how it may be confusing to readers.
• Does the article have any grammatical or spelling errors? So far no grammatical errors so far.
• Are all facts in the article backed up by a reliable secondary source of information? yes all the facts are backed up by reliable secondary sources.
• Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic? They do but most of them are some basic surface level sources that do some deep diving. Could need some deeper diving sources for this.
• Are the sources current? yes all of them are current with the oldest one being from 2015 which makes that source 11 years old as of making this in 2026.
• Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? There seems not to be any biased claims or statements.
• Does the lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic?
• Does the lead include a brief description of the article's major sections? The article kind of does this but could have done better by describing each of the sub sections that fall under the "Formations" section. They could ave done this by putting a few extra sentences in the Introduction part just above the "formations"
• Is the article's content relevant to the topic? yes it is but it does state that more information is needed and may need some slight clarification.
• Is it written neutrally? Yes this is written neutrally and plainly states the facts that are widely accepted.
• Does each claim have a citation?
• Are the citations reliable? Yes they are reliable (for example Britannica.com)
• Does the article tackle one of Wikipedia's equity gaps (coverage of historically underrepresented or misrepresented populations or subjects)? Well this article really does not talk about people but it could maybe talk about how ghost forests affect people.
