Wiki Evaluation Assignment
[edit]This article is well-put together. The images are all relevant. There is a lot of important information in here, all of which is backed by reliable sources that are still relatively recent and credible. The sections could have more body, or they could add more sections with different elements relating to Environmental Studies, but overall this is an excellent article.--Alyssat26 (talk) 01:38, 25 September 2025 (UTC)
Wiki Evaluation
[edit]The content in the article is accurate and relevant yet somewhat limited. The History section discusses the origins of Environmental studies in several countries. However, some information is slightly misplaced. There is a paragraph in the Education section that discusses the origins of "environment" in education in the UK in the 1960's. This would perhaps be better suited for the History section. Further, Environmental studies has traditionally been a predominantly white area of study. In recent decades, more attention has been directed to the intersectionality of environmental issues and social and racial justice movements, giving rise to Environmental Justice. Furthermore, the article discusses the field of Environmental studies in the U.S., UK, and Canada, but not elsewhere. These are relevant additions for the page about Environmental studies. The tone of the article is neutral, and the writing is objective and concise. The article is well-cited and the citation links work. The article links to both other Wikipedia articles and reliable external sources. The Talk page indicates that two contributors have worked on the article as course assignments. There is one evaluation of the page that describes it as an "excellent article". This demonstrates moderate engagement on the article. In conclusion, the article is informative and reliable but could be expanded to include more comprehensive understanding of the topic. Ocean Xplorer (talk) 20:39, 8 February 2026 (UTC)
Wiki Evaluation Assignment
[edit]All content appears to be neutral and unbiased. The information presented is relevant and summarizes the subject adequately. Information about environmental studies in other areas of the world apart from the U.S, Canada, and the U.K. could benefit this article. -Gracklegirl (talk) 12:34, 16 March 2026 (UTC)
Wiki Evaluation Assignment
[edit]On first reading, and glancing through the talk page discussions above, the article's style appears correctly neutral and establishes a culmination of information from multiple sources across sections. While the use of language does not appear to extend itself unecessarily, the extent of information in the article can certainly be broadened while retaining its conciseness and avoiding "filler language". – Lrjc (talk) 11:38, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
Wiki Evaluation Assignment
[edit]The Environmental studies article appears to be neutral and provides relevant information about the topic. The article explains what environmental studies is, its history, and how it’s taught. It also includes several citations from different sources. Most of the information is clear and related to the topic. But the article could be improved by including more information about environmental studies outside of the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada. It could also include more current information about environmental issues and how the field has developed in recent years. Overall, the article provides a good introduction to environmental studies, but more information from different countries and perspectives would make it more complete.Sla Llh (talk) 00:22, 16 September 2026 (UTC)
