Assignment 9

I have yet to receive a comment on my article. Therefore, I will continue to work on it and improve it.

Article Evaluation: GloFish

Lead section
The lead section is well made given that it adequately summarizes the topic, is concise, and does not include information not present in the article. However, it does not include a brief description of the major sections for sections such as vulnerability to predation and evolutionary outcomes.

Content
The content of the article is all relevant to the topic and up-to-date, with the last edit being in December 2020. Content does not seem to be missing, although the "Sources of colors" and "Vulnerability to predation" sectors could be longer. The article addresses an underrepresented topic in terms of it addressing an obscure academic topic.

Tone and Balance
The article is neutral in tone and does not try to persuade the reader to adopt a certain viewpoint about GloFish.

Sources and References
Twenty sources are included, many of which come from academic articles and government documents. The sources are relatively recent with the majority of sources having been published in the 2020's. The links do appear to work.

Organization and writing quality
The article is written in a clear and professional manner and the topics are organized into sections that make sense.

Images and Media
Two images are included of GloFish and one image shows an ordinary Zebra Danio for comparison. The captions explain what kind of fish the viewer is looking at and they are laid out in a way that is not intrusive.

Talk page discussion
There are a few conversations taking place on the talk page regarding if the article should be merged with Zebrafish, if the GloFish should have a taxonomic description, and an argument that bioluminescence is not the same as fluorescence despite the fish being described as both. The article is rated C-class in the categories of aquarium fishes, genetics, and fishes.

Overall impressions
Overall, the article is well-written and includes a succinct overview of what GloFish are, how they were introduced to US markets, and how they got their color. It could be improved if a couple of these sections were expanded to include more details. Still, the article is complete and includes enough details for the average reader.
