Which article are you evaluating?
Texas Longhorn

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I love learning life histories and facts about different species. I believe species specific pages are very important in the fact that it can educate others as to the impact one species has on the environment. At first impression, the article looks pretty well developed and has multiple talking points.

Evaluate the article
The Lead section needs to be shortened to exclude information that is not included in the actual article, or that information needs to be put into the article itself. There is a claim in this section that seems too opinionated, calling longhorns "gentle and intelligent".

Horn status under traits does not make sense. It would make sense to add some more biological traits to this section.

The articles information is relevant, but needs to be expanded upon. There is only information on the "history", which needs some grammatical revisions to make more sense. This could also be separated to just Biological history for what is already in the article and add other history to another section.

Decline and revival section has information regarding the University of Texas's mascot being the longhorn and seems irrelevant to the section. There should be a separate section for Pop-Culture references or use of the Texas Longhorn. Seems to be a lot of information in one section that needs to be split into different sections regarding the topics. Grammar and sequencing of sentences needs to be improved as well as there feels to be gaps in timeline and scattered information. There should be a Biology section added with information including life expectancy, survivability, reproductions, etc.
