Which article are you evaluating?
(Provide a link to the article here.) The article I am evaluating is about chromatin assembly factor 1 (CAF-1). Chromatin assembly factor 1

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this article because I know I have seen it written in passing when studying for cell biology and looking at various images, but I do not have any in-depth knowledge about how it works. CAF-1 is important because it is a histone chaperone that assembling histone tetramers on replicating DNA. The article itself gives a very brief overview of the complex but I would say there is information that still needs to be added.

There is only one section consisting of about one paragraph, but the number of sources is proportional. I do think what is currently written is relevant and gives a good overview of the protein complex, but there are many details missing. The sources used are thorough, peer reviewed and about half are current. One image can be found of the assembly with a simple description but some of the illustrations in the figure are not explained in the text or the caption for further clarification. The article is rated stub with middle importance and based on a search of review article about it, there is a lot of information that can be added to clarify interactions and the role in the system. The article's talk page only has two entries with one from 2018 and the second from May 2021. The article has a neutral view point and is easy to follow with no grammatical errors. Overall, the article is underdeveloped.
