Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
As I skimmed through many articles to choose from, the "Local Hormone" article was the one that caught my eye the most. Based on previous week's Wikipedia training, I tried to look for the best article to edit but also one that I would find interesting, learn more from, and have a good takeaway with. This article seemed to match up with that to me.

Evaluate the article
LEAD SECTION

-This article is about local hormones which are a very broad cluster of ligands/receptors that are unique in that they do not actually travel within the blood. The interesting factor is that they are released in humans during physical activity. The Wikipedia article provided on the topic of local hormones gives a brief description of what local hormones are, where they come from, how they are produced, along with other important information. The article also describes different types of local hormones

CONTENT

-. There are 9 references provided in this article dating in the 1990's and the latest one being in 2007. The article seems very brief and could potentially use additional and more recent information on local hormones. Overall, it could use more material as it seems short.

TONE AND BALANCE

-Article seems neutral and factual, not opinion based.

-Does not appear to be a biased article.

-There should be more information on the different types of local hormones and how they develop.
