Which article are you evaluating?
Nonsense mutation

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I choose this article because it was a topic that we had discussed in class that I found interesting. Another reason I choose this article was because it had a banner at the top of the article indicating that it needed to be updated. Additionally, it is considered of high-importance to the genetics content of Wikipedia.

Evaluate the article
From first glance of the article, it is relatively short and provides a basic overview of a nonsense mutation. I believe the last time it was updated was September of 2014, so I would assume there is more information based on this topic. In my opinion, the format of this page is choppy and could be improve to make it easier to understand. The number of references small compared some of the other Wikipedia articles I have seen. Multiple sentences do not have sources. The lead section is a lot of fragmented ideas and does not flow together.
