Cat

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I personally love cats but it is also relevant for my ecology class. I always loved learning about animals and that is why zoology was always my favorite subject.

Evaluate the article
The lead section of the article is very informative and concise. Reading the article right away made me want to grasp more information that was presented.

The articles content is relevant to the topic, when I looked up the article "Cats" it was very straight forward and showed all the facts that I needed to know. The content is up to date since the last revision happened in September 9th 2023, but the article may also be outdated because the statistics of cats are old. The topic is big since many people either like cats or own them. While evaluating the article it did seem like there wasn't a lot of information presented in article. Overall the article is okay.

The tone of the article is neutral there is no personal opinion, the article right away presents the reader with facts and important information therefore, the article was not biased. The viewpoints weren't overrepresented nor underrepresented and a lot of information were added including different subjects (science, history, anatomy) just by describing cats.

When checking the sources of the article they worked. There are a lot of sources coming from different fields of study for example: zoology, physiology, biology, microbiology, etc. This proves that the article is not biased. Some sources from the article are new and some are very old. Due to the diversity of source that are in the article, there is a possibility that there aren't better sources.

The article was very organized, I knew what I was going to read because everything was separated into different sections. In every section the article did not go off topic. If the section was one topic, anatomy of the cat, then the article strictly spoke about that topic.

The images were very catchy, the images were average since amount of images weren't a lot but it still made me want to read more. In almost every section there were images that were relevant to the topic. The images included the anatomy of the cat, different breeds of cats, cat drawing in ancient Egypt, eyes of cats, etc.

The talk page had conversations about the article, most were negative. One reader corrected the article in terms of grammar, another reader complained that the article added the part how cats get tortured in a cage which wasn't necessary to the article, and the last reader mentioned that the article is very outdated.

The article was well written, although it could be better if more information was added with more pictures in terms of evolution of cats since cats aren't a rare species. The scientific classifications (taxonomy) of cats were added. Overall, the article was concise and well written.
