Evaluation of "Genotyping"

Lead:

Although a definition of genotyping is present, it is long winded and does not read well. The article is not yet split into sections, so it does not provide a brief overview of the other sections. This article would benefit from being split into more detailed sections.

Content:

This article needs to be split into sections such as "Techniques," "Ethics," and "History." This will make the article easier to navigate and allow for more detailed explanations of each subtopic. The content that is present is relatively outdated with the most recent citation being from 2011.

Tone and Balance:

The article is generally written in a neutral tone.

Sources and References:

This article needs more sources with more recent information. The article currently has only two sources and is lacking information in many areas. The quality of these two sources is subpar since they are citations of websites, rather than scientific reviews.

Organization and Writing Quality:

Once again, this article needs to be organized better by breaking it down into sections. In addition, the professionality of the writing could be improved. There a few run on sentences and the sentence structure could be reformatted to read better.

Images and Media

This article has no images and would greatly benefit from the addition of a figure.

Talk Page Discussion

There is not currently an active talk page. This article is part of a few WikiProjects: Genetics, Medicine / Medical Genetics, Molecular Biology / Molecular and Cell Biology

Overall Impressions

This article is currently low-quality. It needs to be reformatted and a lot of information is missing. Cellbio401jrd (talk) 00:06, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

Article Evaluation Assignment

Lead Section:

The lead section is a bit disorganized and may not be written in form that everyone could understand. It does have an introductory sentence that states the article's topic. However, it is a bit of a run on sentence and is not very concise. There are no sections written yet, so the lead does not contain descriptions of each section. Since the lead is the only portion so far, it does contain information that is not present in the article.

Content:

Since this article does not contain any sections yet, I can't say anything about the quality or content of the sections. This means there is content missing. Some sections could include: the history and development of genotyping techniques; the uses of genotyping (such as medicinal, agriculture and phylogenetics); and explanations of the processes in genotyping.

Tone and Balance:

What the article does have, so far, is written from a neutral perspective.

Sources and References:

The article has two references so far, for the lead section. They are each referenced only once. For the rest of the sections, more references will be needed. Even for the lead section, there are a lot of claims about genotyping methods that don't appear to have a source and statements about the uses of genotyping that don't appear to have a source (or at least do not have the reference linked to the paragraph).

Organization and Writing Quality:

Currently, the lead section seems to be a bit disorganized and isn't very concise. It could use some cleaning up. I am hoping the other person working on this page responds to my message so that we can split the sections. I think this will help the other sections seem more organized and flow better.

Images and Media:

The article has no images currently, so it could definitely use some. With the broadness of this topic, I think there are many sections that there will be images for.

Talk:

I don't believe there is a Talk page discussion for this page right now.

Overall:

The article is a stub and needs a lot of work. Not just with the addition of more sections, but with addition of references, images and the organization of the page.
