 * Name of article: Simple Endometriosis
 * The article's topic was closely related to the courses subject matter.

Lead
The leading paragraph of this article outlines endometriosis, who it affects, and some symptoms that correspond with it.

Content
The sources of this article are all from 2010's. The oldest article, Endometriosis and Infertilitiy, was from August 2010 but it would be beneficial to check if there are more up to date articles regarding this subject. The statistics are somewhat outdated so it would also be beneficial to find statistics that are more reflective of endometriosis today. Some of the wording could be adjusted to make better sense to the reader. I noticed that it says "area of endometriosis bleed each month" which is not entirely true. I feel like this article could be fact checked. More information could be added to the second paragraph to better understand what happens with endometriosis and the common symptoms.

Tone and Balance
The article maintains an unbiased tone. It is not overly academic but does explain information well. However, I feel like the wording of some of the phrases could be changed to make better sense.

Sources and References
The information in this article sites information by reputable, secondary sources. There seems to be adequate inline citations which allow readers to see where the original information was pulled from. There seem to be an equal amount of references for each paragraph.

Organization
I feel like the order in which the information is presented makes sense and allows the reader to build on knowledge from previous paragraphs.

Images and Media
This article uses pictures to help explain topics better. They can be viewed when the mouse hovers over the blue text. I feel like it benefits the article and allows the reader to further understand the topics presented if they are not already acquainted.

Checking the talk page
The talk page for this topic is blank.

Overall impressions
I feel like this article would benefit from being fact-checked and receiving more up-to-date information since it was last edited in May 2017. I also would like to investigate the possible misinformation given in the second paragraph regarding the "areas of endometriosis" bleeding. I would also like to address this variety of tests and examinations performed to diagnose endometriosis. Engaging with the talk page of this article may help move the editing process along thus allowing more people to access a better article.
