Neutrino detector - Wikipedia

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose it because wikipedia identifies it as high importance but its quality has been rated as C.

With advent of multi-messenger astronomy, neutrino astronomy is gaining more importance than ever. Therefore, neutrino detectors become an important component of future of astrophysics.

The article covers important aspects of topic. However it does not provide satisfactory sources for information provided.

 * The lead section conscisely convey the idea to reader. But it contains the information which is not present in the article - "The field of neutrino astronomy is still very much in its infancy – the only confirmed extraterrestrial sources so far as of 2018 are the Sun and the supernova 1987A in the nearby Large Magellanic Cloud. Another likely source (three standard deviations) is the blazar TXS 0506+056 about 3.7 billion light years away." A lot of information is given in 2nd and 3rd paragraph of lead section but none of them is referenced there.
 * A section on history of neutrino detectors should be added.
 * Article is doing very poorly in terms of references. Important information is given throughout the article without giving any reference to the source of information. Most of the provided-references are old news articles/websites instead of recent peer-reviewed papers.
