Which article are you evaluating?
Tussilago

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose to evaluate this because I was curious how well-developed the English Wiki page of this plant would be. It is a very well-known plant in Russian-speaking countries, but it is not nearly as well known in English-speaking countries, in my experience. Information on this plant is important because tussialgo is commonly used as an ingredient in herbal cough medicine, but it may also contain toxins. Those using tussilago for medicinal purposes should be aware of both the benefits and the risk. My preliminary impression of the article is that it is very concise and contains key details.
