Which article are you evaluating?
Cassowary

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 I visited North East Australia and was interested in learning about Cassowaries. I only saw them in a zoo and not in the wild. I also just like to learn about flightless birds.

I thought the lead section was lengthy and kind of hard to read. I would try to make it more succinct with less information. I'd say the article's content was up to date. Because it an article about an animal, it does not need to be updated regularly besides updating the status of its endangerment. I thought the organization of the article made sense. I appreciated the headings of the sections and then also the subheadings. Those were helpful.

The talk page was interesting. One comment concerned that the article only talks about one species of Cassowary and called it messy. There was also a conversation about whether or not to include a picture of Cassowary scat. At the top of the talk page there was a section saying that this article was written in Australian English and I wonder if that should included in the article too because in the Misogyny in Sports article, there was a heading warning that this was mostly discussing the topic in North America.
