Which article are you evaluating?
Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose to evaluate this article because Ecology Biology is a topic that I'm currently learning and the article looks like it needs some work. The reason why it matters is because I wanted to choose a topic that I'm a bit familiar with and is in the process of learning more about it. My first impression is that this article is relatively short and doesn't have much visual aide.

Evaluate the article
For the lead section of the article, It's extremely short and doesn't include background information on what the article will be talking about. There was no brief description of the article's major sections. The sections aren't organized nicely and contains little information. An example is that the Urban evolution section should be before the "Examples of current research topics" because it's providing background information on the type of evolution. Some information such as in the first section that talks about examples, it doesn't include an exact study reference, it starts off with "There is a number of" which means the information they gathered from the reference was from multiple sources instead of one. The article also included information that isn't relevant to the topic which is the "Degrees in North America" section. Some areas of the article appear to have a viewpoint such as in the Degrees in North America section, it mentions only programs in North America so it seems bias. The references aren't done properly, there aren't any links attached to the references. There is only one image used but it's well captioned. No conversation is being made on the Talk page and is rated Start-class along with being apart of three WikiProjects. Overall, the article is very weak and needs a lot of improvement and is underdeveloped.
