Evaluation for Hemoglobin. I've chosen to review this page because it is a big topic in biochemistry & something I am currently learning about.

Lead:

The first sentence is concise about the article's topic, hemoglobin. There is a portion for the content of each paragraph, and everything in the description is either talked about or linked to more information, even the latin meaning of the word. The lead is relatively detailed and could possibly be considered overly detailed.

Content:

There is a lot of information about hemoglobin on this page, and ranges from the molecular structure, the history of hemoglobin research, testing and even its prevalence in art and music. There are wide ranges of information that includes more obscure usage of hemoglobin understanding or representation in a secular way.

Tone and Balance:

The tone of the article is neutral and there is no hint of religious, political or societal bias. There was no implicit persuasion from diction or information provided. Everything was from a neutral point and there was no personal information included.

Sources & References:

There was a healthy usage of citations for information, and they stemmed from multiple credible sources. I am not sure if any of the sources came from marginalized individuals but there were many sources cited from medical history and published articles from journals.I clicked on some links and they were linked to the sources cited.

Organization:

The page was well organized and easy to read and search for the topics listed. There were no obvious grammatical errors.

Images & Media:

There were multiple images in different topics of the page, and they were all referenced or included links for more information. There was even an animated graphic that showed the oxygen binding process that changes the shape of the heme group that is the source of the cooperative binding nature of oxygen to hemoglobin.

Talk Page:

The article's overall rating is B-class and level-4 vital article in biology. From the talk session there are comments for improvement, that include the elaboration of cooperative binding, such as including T and R states. There was also a comment about incorrect edits, which were since corrected showing there is an active collaboration and addition to the page.
