Wiki Article: Primary Atmosphere Initial Assessment:
[edit]Content:
[edit]- Everything is relevant to the article, however there are some distracting features. In the section "CO2 in exoplanetary atmospheres," the article is describing how carbon dioxide prevalence in exoplanet atmospheres furthers scientific understanding of primary atmospheres. This information could be relevant, but the transition from describing the formation of a primary atmosphere to its applications of studies is too abrupt. To minimize distraction in this section, more information is necessary for the overview and formation processes to better connect this existing idea, if the idea is relevant at all. Additionally, because primary atmospheres are mostly made of Helium and Hydrogen, mentioning CO2 exoplanet atmospheres may not be relevant. More review is needed to make this determination. The length of the overview needs more depth. Mentioning the primary composition of a primary atmosphere would be helpful. More information on why primary atmospheres are not diverse in composition can also help create better understanding for the reader. There is minimal jargon in the article, and it is presented clearly and accurately. The article does link to other Wikipedia articles as well.
Tone:
[edit]- The article does remain neutral in stance. This is however some bias and overrepresentation of a particular viewpoints. Singularly sourced, one section ("CO2 in exoplanetary atmospheres") highlights the importance of carbon dioxide detection on exoplanets and its attribution to our understanding of exoplanets. This information needs to be represented more fairly, and the article could include other examples of exoplanets with primary atmospheres to reduce bias.
Sources:
[edit]- Upon reviewing the citations, two out of the three links do not work. The first two citations are to website pages that may have been taken down. The facts are referenced, yet because the source links do not work, these are not credible open sources. The third source, from which one section is primarily sourced, does work. That source does support the claim within the article but does not contribute overall to the wellbeing of the article. The third source is a primary source, making the article biased towards a specific viewpoint. Additionally, the citations are grouped in sections within the article and are not well dispersed. New references need to be added to mitigate this issue.
Talk Page:
[edit]- There are not any conversations on the talk page. This article is rated as a "Start-class" article; meaning that substantial work is needed to improve this article. This article was a part of a past WikiProject conducted from January 2024 to May 2024 at the University of Arkansas. This is article is now a part of the WikiProject under Georgia Tech's Biogeochemical Cycles course.
