Which article are you evaluating?
Liver regeneration

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I have chosen the article "Liver regeneration" because the topic of organ regeneration is related to the stem cells and developmental biology. Liver regeneration should become one of the main focuses of modern medical science due to the fact that there is an increased prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes in the general population, leading to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and liver cirrhosis. At the end, it increases the need for liver transplant. Exploring the problem of liver regeneration can decrease the need for liver transplant, increase the survival of patients with terminal liver diseases, and lower the cost of medical treatment. The Wikipedia article, "Liver regeneration", provided a brief list of liver diseases and other factors can cause liver damage, but the process of liver degeneration that the article described was only related to the process of regeneration following partial hepatectomy.

Evaluate the article
The Wikipedia article, "Liver regeneration", provides a brief list of liver diseases and other factors leading to liver damage and describes a process of liver regeneration following partial hepatectomy. The lead section of the article is short and contains only one paragraph. The introductory sentence concisely and clearly describes the term of liver regeneration but the lead section does not include the description of the article's major sections. The content of the article covers only one aspect of the topic describing the process of liver regeneration following partial hepatectomy but omitting the regeneration that would follow liver damage caused by diseases and toxins. The content of the article seems to be up to date. The article is neutral and it does not contain any bias. All the facts in the article are backed up by reliable secondary sources of information but there are only 13 references provided which is probably not enough for such an extensive topic. Also, the provided sources are not the most current and only one of the latest references is from 2017. The article is well-written, clear, and easy to read but it has some grammatical errors. The article does not include any images that will enhance the understanding of the topic. The article's talk page contains only a few discussions. The article written by two student editors from the Florida Tech Developmental and Molecular Biology Spring 2019 and 2022 classes. Overall, the article is underdeveloped because it only describes one aspect of the liver regeneration following partial hepatectomy. It does not provide any information about the regeneration following liver damage caused by infections or toxins which are probably the main causes of liver diseases and failure. The article could be improved by including other forms of liver regeneration.
