The article I chose to evaluate was Animals in Space.

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I thought it would be interesting to learn about what animals have been into space. Space exploration seems to be the next big step for mankind, so I wanted to learn up on how animals have acted in space. Things like how likely it would be to bring animal companions with us during space exploration is something that would be interesting to know. Animals in Space has a great introduction to the information they are going to present, and the article seems fleshed out to be enjoyable to read.

Evaluate the article
Lead section

The lead goes over what the rest of the article will be going over in a precise way. Nothing about it makes the reader feel confused or left wondering what will be talked about. It does not go on for too long about what is present in the article and is just long enough to grab the attention of potential readers.

Content

Everything that is in the article is relevant to it, and there does not seem to be any information that should not be there. As of now the information provided is up to date, hopefully if new information is released the article will be updated. Content that may be missing is anything that world governments may have kept out of what they published.

Tone and Balance

All the information given is of a neutral standpoint. Everything that is being used in the article is to go over what has happened and does not voice any opinions one way or another.

Sources and References

The information in the article is backed by plenty of reliable sources. I have not encountered a problem with any source links, and all links used are as current as they can be. I do not think they there are many other sources that could be used in this article, at least none that I could find that could improve upon what is already written.

Organization and Writing Quality

The article is clear and easy to read and does not seem to have any grammatical or spelling errors. Everything listed is laid out in a way that is in order of oldest occurrence to most recent.

Images and Media

All images used are related to what the article is going over, and they are all captioned to what they are referencing to the readers. The images are also put out in a way that keeps the reader interested, but not so much that it takes the attention away from the article.

Talk Page Discussion

The conversations taken place behind the scenes are of those who are genuinely interested in animals that have been in space. There are some slight comedic elements to what the people are saying and what they are talking about, but besides that the article is taken seriously. The article is in the C list of what is on Wikipedia.

Overall Impressions

Overall, the article has solid foundations and I do not know how much could be really used to push the article higher. The information that is given seems to be backed by good sources, image quality is good, and the topic is not controversial and stays neutral.
