Which article are you evaluating?
Stem cell

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose the topic because Stem cells are something that really fascinate me and hence I wanted to find out what information Wikipedia has pertaining to them. My initial thoughts on this webpage were that the page was well written and organized with separate sections for the history, different kinds of cells, their functions, properties, and their applications and research.

Evaluate the article
Overall, the article provided a highly descriptive and detailed account on stem cells. It took a neutral tone to systematically talk about stem cells, their discovery and history, types, properties ,therapies, and research. The writer used easy to understand language to explain a complex topic. The introduction was well balanced and provided an abstract to the rest of the sections of the article. The article contains a fairly large number of details which might be hard to understand for people new to the topic, yet the writer provided several hyperlinks and sources to make it easier to grasp. All sources used were relatively new and valid. One drawback to this article was the fact that it contained a number of large paragraphs which could be subject to revision and reductions. More images and visuals would help newer readers get a quick grasp on the topic. Overall the article was well written- written too much and filled with information. There is room for reduction of words and the addition of visual clarifications.
