Evaluate an article

 * Name of article: Auditory hallucination

Lead
The introductory sentence is clear and concise, but the rest of the lead seems a bit disjunctive and overly detailed. Some comments should probably be placed in the body of the article rather than the lead. It briefly describes some of the articles major sections, but not many and not clearly.

Content
The content is relevant. The last update was in 2019, so the content may not be up-to-date, however, it doesn't seems to have missing content.

Tone and Balance
The article has a neutral tone, and no claims that seem biased. Its relation to schizophrenia is largely represented, but there is far less information of its relation to other mood disorders and cases of no underlying disorders. The article is not persuasive.

Sources and References
There is at least one case of "citation needed". The links work and most lead to credible sources, though at least one leads to a news article, which may be biased and may not be credible.

Organization
There are not grammatical or spelling errors, but the article is not well organized and not always easy to read. I think this could be due to multiple contributors. Some parts are wordy and some parts could be placed in a more logical manner.

Images and Media
There are no images.

Checking the talk page
This article is rated as C-class and is part of the WikiProjects on Psychology. One editor consistently brings in many unreliable and biased sources, almost to the point where is seems troll-like, which are turned down by the other editors. The discussion has become a bit hostile at one point.

Overall impressions
Overall, it seems the article could use some work, if purely with restructuring. There are many editors providing good sources and good summaries. I really think the amount of contributors may be the main cause for disorganization. It could use some updating, just to see if there are newer sources and certain aspects can be fleshed out, it is currently just a bit underdeveloped.
