User:C10ism/Evaluate an Article

Which article are you evaluating?
I am evaluating the Wikipedia article about Pandemics.

Portal:Pandemics

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article, because I wanted to learn more about the history of pandemics and past treatments. Since we are still in the midst of a pandemic, I thought this article was appropriate to try and learn more about our situation.

Evaluate the article
This article started with a definition of the word "pandemic" and listed a number a different illnesses that have caused pandemics throughout history. I reviewed the Portal:Pandemic page and found it to be a bit disorganized. There was a list of notable pandemics and outbreaks with links to their respective Wikipedia pages which was helpful for further research. There is only one illness featured on this site which I found to be lacking. I wish they would have included information on a variety of different illnesses and how people have come to combat them.

When I clicked on the full article link for "pandemic", I found the page to be somewhat lacking information I would think was important. The linked article was for "epidemic" which has significantly less relevant information. The "pandemic" page was linked to the "epidemic" page and that was full of information.
