Dwarfism - Wikipedia

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose an article on dwarfism because I think that it is a very important disease to understand. People often don't know the science behind various diseases which often leads to misconceptions and I hope that by leaning more about this topic (dwarfism) and others alike it will help me to relay this information to other people.

Evaluate the article
This article has a very good lead section where it describes the topic at hand and the definitions of various components relating to the topic. The article that I chose is very factual and has very good content displayed that is backed by many credible sources. The information in this article is presented in a very formal way, the images do not go extremely well with the information that was presented, but it does however relate to the overall topic at hand. I thought that the organization of the article made it easy to read and understand, started out by giving a general overview, then moving into the signs, followed by causes, diagnosis and treatment/management, etc. This is a very strategic way of presenting the information, almost in a chronological sense. The talk page for this article is very interesting and worth reading. A few things I found interesting was that someone commented that they have had their limbs lengthened and that this could be important to add to the original article. Someone also added that the images do not necessarily depict the information that is being presented and that it could be beneficial to add additional pictures that better portray the information at hand. Overall, I think that the information presented throughout this article was fairly easy to understand and it would backed by some great sources.
