Paleoceanography Article Evaluation:

The information, content, and references I found in the Paleoceanography article from my analysis are majority accurate and unbiased. I found that looking through the article thoroughly that there are many sources linked to every paragraph and section that can be found at the bottom of the page where the references are. Then looking at the references I found that they all come from academic peer-reviewed articles and magazines including Science, Nature, and the University of Chicago Press Journals to name a few. This assures me as the reader that these articles are based upon facts and information that is reliable for me to use and understand the subject area better without worry of being persuaded to think about the topic subjectively.

Additionally the article gives information about solely Paleoceanography and relevant information needed to understand the study while not losing focus. I find that even though I am new to the subject the article helps explain the terms I am unsure about. What I find to be one of the best features about Wikipedia as well is that it provides many hyperlinks to follow to other Wikipedia articles that explain the difficult or less well known terms, for instance alkenones. This makes the article shorter and easier to retain so that focus isn't lost on trying to explain the difficult terms within the article itself.
