Article title: Columbia Basin Project Article Evaluation: The article is written neutrally but its coverage on environmental impact as well as social impact lacks transparency and quantification. Citations are present though in minimal quantities and could use some polishing/ additions. The reliance upon subsidies, the economic unsustainability of them, as well as the social injustices within these structures is another subject that lacks coverage and would tackle an equity gap. Though well-written, the article additionally lacks a robust communication of the projects initial and lasting impacts on indigenous peoples.

Article title: Water Privatization Article Evaluation: This article is related to water rights globally, sharing the history of water privatization within different countries as well as the effects of this. It is written neutrally, though there is room for improvement in expanding upon a social justice piece. For example, water privatization in Chile from Pinochet's dictatorship is written about well in the article, though the effects on indigenous communities is not represented in the article and is heavily prevalent in many Chilean regions at the present moment. Potential effects in regards to climate change are also lacking in coverage.

Article title: Artificial Intelligence
Article Evaluation: This article has a very specific focus on explaining the systems behind artificial intelligence, but it doesn't explain the systems artificial intelligence promotes and pushes forth in the world outside of "the computer." It is written neutrally, though is an incredibly dense page that isn't as accessible from a layman's point of view, making many aspects sound like jargon to an untrained mind. I came across a separate article about artificial intelligences effect on the environment, though the main page of Artificial Intelligence only slightly touches on some of this information, so I was thinking of possibly amending this.
