Evaluate an article/COVID-19 pandemic in Scotland
The introduction does is not concise and could use some simplifying or additional descriptions. An addition of citations is necessary. I article does not clearly state the major sections. The intro is overly detailed. It seems to be neutral and up to date. There are many examples that need to be clarified. I did not notice any spelling or grammar errors. Overall, the article has a lot of information, but the subject needs to be clear and more concise to get more people to easily comprehend what an inflection is, and how it can be used. This will come with additional citations, and more connective sentences.
