(Provide a link to the article here.) Darwin's finches

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.)

It was labeled as a c-class article, was ranging from low-importance to high importance and this article is looking for more improvements. I have a lot of interest in birds and I've learned some specific things about about Darwin's finches (like that they are actually tanagers, which the wiki does mention) and I feel I have a grasp on the topic. At first glance through the wiki it has good basic information about the bird group, has a lot of references but uses a long passage from a book.

The Lead Section is very solid with a good introductory sentence, paragraph and lead section.

The Content is relevant to the topic. This article could use some work looking into very recent studies and paper going over Darwin's Finches for better up-to-date information. This article deals with very well known voyages of Darwin himself and David Lack among other but I wouldn't hurt to dig deeper into Darwin's finches research by underrepresented authors to cover a more diverse range of research and people.

The Tone and Balance of this article are decent. The tone is constantly neutral throughout but the viewpoints are heavily in original voyages, like I stated before, and could use some additional newer research with a greater range of authors.

The Sources and References are very reliable but similar problem as before, a lot of old original research and less newer research with less diverse authors.

The Organization and Writing Quality is decent. The writing quality is good overall. The organization may need some work but I can't make hard changes at the moment.

The Images and Media are solid. All images are relevant to the article and adhere to Wikipedia’s copyright regulations.

The Talk Page Discussion goes over the 5 WikiProjects this topic ranging from low-importance to high-importance. The talk page goes over some external link issues and mainly what to add to the Darwin finches, like molecular beaks and new species.

Overall impressions of this C-class article, Darwin’s finches. It has strong lead section with neutral tone and good amount of references and could be improved by newer research by more diverse authors, if possible. The article overall is a well developed article.
