Which article are you evaluating?
Polymyxin

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose to contribute to this article because despite the crucial role of Polymyxin B as a last line of defense antibiotic, the page seemed underdeveloped. Understanding its mechanism of use and the mixture of Polymyxins in the commercially produced drug is fascinating.

Evaluate the article
The lead section of the article offers a concise sentence on the class of antibiotics and what type of bacteria they work on. However, the section is bare and doesn't offer much background on the drug. The article’s content is relevant, but there is a lack of connectivity between sections, and some sections, like chemistry and biosynthesis, may be overrepresented (even if still a small section of the passage) as opposed to sections like the lead. The tone, given that it is a scientific topic, remains neutral throughout with the sole intent of displaying factual evidence. The sources were reliable and relevant to the information presented within the article. The images were also well captioned and added to the visual understanding of the information. The article needs to be polished overall; it shows promise but lacks the uniformity needed to be considered a fully-fledged, presentable, and reliable source of information for the topic.
