Evaluate the article
Lead Section

The articles lead section includes an introductory sentence that clearly defines what a tame animal is and, therefore, does a good job at introducing the topic that is going to be discussed. The lead also discusses, briefly, the topics that are going to be discussed throughout the rest of the page. There is no unnecessary information in the lead that does not apply to the rest of the article. All the information presented in the lead is concise and provides the necessary information to introduce the rest of the article.

Content

All of the content within the article is relevant with the overall topic of tame animals. The content appears up-to-date and includes introduction of content valid to the topic. However, the article could definitely expand more on the information provided to make it a more well-rounded page.

Tone and Balance

The article reads neutral about the topic and does not contain any claims that appear biased in anyway on what is being discussed. There is no underrepresentation or overrepresentation within the article and there is no attempt for persuasion throughout the page.

Sources and References

Facts stated within the article are being backed by one or more sources. There are a various amount of references and sources from various years, however, there is room for more inclusion of current research as well. Some of the links within the sources are also not available.

Organization and Writing Quality

The article is well-written in organized. There does not seem to be any grammatical errors or misspelling within the article.

Images and Media

The article contains images relevant to the topic and are accurately captioned. There could be more images and media to support the page and the images could be organized better.

Talk Page Discussion

There is not much on the talk page. There is a comment about a writing area but not much else regarding the article.

Overall Impressions

I think that the page is a good starting point but, there is a need to the article to grow and improve. The topic can be gone into in more detail and include more recent research and facts in its description. The layout and writing is a strong point for this article but it still requires overall improvement and expansion.
