Article title: Mine Dewatering
Article Evaluation: It has a very breife introduction wich could be improved as well as a few places were the sentance structure could be improved. It also covers a lot of the history of dewatering the mines but does not mention the problems that come with the process. There are also the fact that it has been taken from another web site with premission but made over 10 years ago with little change or updating that could be done.

Article title: Void Ratio
Article Evaluation: This page doesn't really have an introduction which should be added as the only one senctance as an introduction could be improved and seperated making the layout of the docutment better. It aslo has some more technical terminology that could be changed to make the page more easily understandable to more people. You could also drive some case studies of where void ratios were used and important for people to know in certain feilds of study.

Article title: Geometallurgy
Article Evaluation: There is a good introduction but it gets harder and harder to follow as the page starts to use more and more technical terms that makes it hard to understand and follow. This paper in egenral has little for people to help better understand the topic and written more as a page for those who work in the feild and know most of the knowledge around the topic as well as the terms that are used. It does try to explain some of the terminology it uses but there is still much to be done to make the page easy to understand.

Article title: Hydrpthermal Circulation
Article Evaluation: A good article with little to imrpove on the writing side as it is easily understandable and no real bias. It is a bit out of date and talks a lot about the past and not what is currently know and the uses and importance we find out about it today and going forward. It does summerise the inforamtion into an easy to digest size but can have newer sources that make the article more relatable/ applicable.
