Which article are you evaluating?
Assay

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article to evaluate because the majority of the laboratory experiments that were performed in this course required the use of assays. It matters because assays serve as a method to quantify and qualify proteins and enzymes that are being worked with. My preliminary impression of the article was that it was clear and thorough.

Evaluate the article
Overall the lead section is concise and well-written. The lead includes an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic. Also, it briefly describes the major sections of the article and does not include any information that is not present within the article.

The article addresses content that is both relevant to the topic and up-to-date. It discusses the general steps in performing assays, the types of assays available in science, as well as the quality extracted from employing such a technique.

The article is written in a neutral tone that does not bias any specific position nor attempt any persuasion of the reader.

The facts in the article are backed up by reliable secondary sources of information that are thorough and current. They are relatively good sources each with a link that works.

The article is well-written in that it is concise, clear, and relatively easy to read. It is free of any grammatical or spelling errors and is well-organized in sections that reflect the major points of the topic that were briefly covered in the lead section.

The article does not feature any images. This is one area that the article can improve in as images could provide visual representations of what assays look like and the tools that encompass them.

The Talk page of the article focuses on thoroughly defining the topic so that it is both clear and exhaustive and the need for a few additional references. It is rated of Mid-importance in both the Chemistry and Pharmacology projects' important scales.

The article has an overall good status. It is neutral in tone and cites several sources in sections that utilize the work of others—there are some necessary citations that must be referenced as already indicated on the article page itself. In addition, the lead section is clear and relatively concise considering how broad of a topic assay is.
