Which article are you evaluating?
Thyroid disease in women

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article as it was interesting to me being a woman with a thyroid disease who has never heard of these effects or potential pregnancy issues prior to reading the article. I feel as though it is important information for women to know at or around the time of diagnosis so that we can ensure we are well prepared with all the knowledge we need as we travel through life.

As mentioned in class, many people utilize the internet and Wikipedia for information, especially information regarding their health and well being. By having references and sources that are reliable available to the public will allow people to become more knowledgeable on situations that may impact themselves or their loved ones.

Evaluate the article
This article has only 4 sources, one sources covers most of the topics discussed in the article. The most recent source is from 2017. The article is neutral but should include content on more topics, including an epidemiology section.

There are no images or media in the article.

There is no discussion on the talk page and it is currently rated as "start-class" on WikiProject Medicine.

Diseases during pregnancy is a big list, but includes important information so that future mothers can take the necessary precautions if they have a thyroid disease.

The article does well explaining what the thyroid is and they symptoms of hypothyroidism.
