Lead evaluation
I think you have a good lead that briefly and concisely describes CDKAL1. I like how you clarified that is was a gene and that CDK5 was the protein it encodes, as the original article did not specify that. Although you don't have sections in the article yet, I think you could create more sections about the overall importance, where it is found, etc. Other than that, it is a very good and brief lead section of the article.

Content evaluation
The content that was added to the article is relevant to the topic at hand and it contributes to the description of the gene, but I think there might be more information about this gene now than there was in 2002, or 2005. I think that more up-to-date content should be added to this article, as there might be newer information available now that helps describe its function and applications more.

Tone and balance evaluation
This is a very neutral article and there isn't anything that is overrepresented or underrepresented, but I believe that more information is definitely needed, especially with the diabetes application. The article just stated that it is used in diabetes, but I think there should be more elaboration on this aspect.

Sources and references evaluation
All information given about the genes are backed up by a source, which is good, but again, they are not super current, and I think they should be updated. I'm not sure if you noticed, but there is something wrong with the date on Source 3, which you might just have to write in.

Organization evaluation
The content is well-written as it is very easy-to-read for people that don't have a vast background in biochemistry, but there are a few minor grammatical and spelling errors that I picked up:


 * In third paragraph, change "mouse ability" to "mouse's ability"
 * In fourth paragraph, change "discover" to "discovery"

Other than these two, it is very well-written and organized with different paragraphs explaining different important applications/definitions.

Images and media evaluation
I like the use of the image in the article. The image was well-captioned and it is right next to the text that it corresponds to, so it is placed well in the article as well. I'm not sure if it adheres to Wikipedia's copyright regulations, so that should definitely be checked before completing the assignment.

Overall evaluation
The article is definitely more on its way to being complete, as the lead section has been greatly strengthened. The content gave more information about the gene in question and also helped the reader understand the gene in more detail. I do think that the content can be improved by elaboration on the content and gaining more up-to-date information about the gene, as the articles that were cited were older, and I'm sure there have been at least a few updates since those articles were written.
