Chosen Article - List of Invasive Species in the Everglades Notes
The content provided has relevancy to the article. However, there are statements such as “State, local, and federal government agencies spend millions of dollars to rid South Florida of invasive species and prevent more from entering the region” and About 12,500 species of insects are native to Florida, most of which naturally flew into the region from the Caribbean or Southeastern United States” doesn’t have a citation and also represents statement that aren’t supported.
For the most part, citations are pulled from credible sources (i.e reports of scientist findings, and research). After checking the majority of the links provided in the article, I found that the ones that I checked were working. There were also citations that did not have links but provided sources in which they pulled from textbook. This article is a featured list - featured topic article which is also utilized by various wiki projects.
This article is not based on what the audience or author thinks. It lends facts. In our class discussions, we may bring in our experience which can sometimes present a bias which may dilute or cause cognitive dissonance.

Suggested Additions to: Juicing

Information that I believe individuals would want to know specifically about juicing are the specific juices and their benefits. When we visit stores and we see all of these juice options we may get a bit overwhelmed. So, I'd like to contribute specific juice and their specific benefits. This I believe will help the consumer to make informed decisions.
