User:Brysonbaggs/Evaluate an Article

Which article are you evaluating?
Amoeba (genus)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because Amoebas are unique microorganisms and something different than bacteria that has been the main focus of my education. This article is quite short in comparison to other articles that I have read on Wikipedia, however the material seems to be in order, and multiple suggestions have been made to improve certain sections on the talk page. Some of the material may be a little out of date, but that has already been brought up in the talk page as well.

Evaluate the article
(Compose a detailed evaluation of the article here, considering each of the key aspects listed above. Consider the guiding questions, and check out the examples of what a useful Wikipedia article evaluation looks like.)

Lead Section - The lead section is short and to the point, and is easy to understand. The table of contents and description of article subjects is also clearly explained. The lead contains information the is pertinent to the article.

Content - Content is relevant to the topic, however, there is some information that is several decades old that may need to be updated. There is definitely room for improvement, but the information is still good.

Tone and Balance - The article is pretty neutral, no biases or over/under representations. There are no attempts at persuasion contained in this article.

Sources and References - The sources appear to back up the articles claims and statements, the sources are up to date, and the links work. There is always room for improvement, and more recent research has most likely been conducted that may help improve this article.

Organization and Writing quality - The article is easy to read for the most part, and is pretty short and to the point. There is one section where there is just a lot of material that is hard to get through. The current subsections are easy to understand and follow.

Images and Media - The article does contain images and some video clips that help improve the material. The images that are present all have descriptive captions, and help the overall appearance of the article. As far as I can tell, the images adhere to the copyright regulations in place by Wikipedia.

Talk page discussion - The talk page is full of quality comments, and ways to improve the article. It seems to be actively evolving and changing, there are some heated comments as well.

Overall impressions - I personally think that this is a good article to begin looking into Amoeba with. The article has quality material at this point and plenty of suggested edits in the talk page.
