Bangiales
Bangiales

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose it because Bangiales is an order of the algae family, and the structure of this article is probably similar to that of a wetland article, given that they are both a branch of biological sciences.

Evaluate the article
The lead section of this article is very solid. It briefly touches on every section of the article, summarizing each one in no more than 1-2 sentences. The content of the article is also very well written and organized. It touches on all of the points that I would imagine an article written about algae would want to focus on, including history, taxonomy, range, and human uses. The article also seems to be very neutral, specifically stating the facts. The only possible avenue for bias would be when mentioning the scientists who discovered, named, and categorized the Bangiales order. There could have been other scientists who were responsible for a discovery relating to Bangiales and were not mentioned, but that is not the case to my knowledge. The article does draw from a wide range of sources which is very good. The article itself is not very long so it probably could have been written with not as many sources, but the fact that there are 29 citations makes me as a reader trust it more. This article was organized fairly well, but I thought some of the sections could have been rearranged in order to make the article flow a little better. I would have put it in the order of: Description, Reproduction, History, Records, Distribution, Human Use, Taxonomy. All in all, the article is very well written and presents all the facts in a clear concise manner. I found no glaring errors and would not change anything except possibly the order of the different sections.
