Lead section
A good lead section defines the topic and provides a concise overview. A reader who just wants to identify the topic can read the first sentence. A reader who wants a very brief overview of the most important things about it can read the first paragraph. A reader who wants a quick overview can read the whole lead section.


 * Does the lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic? Yes
 * Does the lead include a brief description of the article's major sections? Yes
 * Does the lead include information that is not present in the article? (It shouldn't.) No.
 * Is the lead concise or is it overly detailed? It is very detailed, but it is not more detailed than the rest of the article.

Content
A good Wikipedia article should cover all the important aspects of a topic, without putting too much weight on one part while neglecting another.


 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic? Yes
 * Is the content up-to-date? Yes, last edited on 11/21/21

 * Does the article deal with one of Wikipedia's equity gaps? Does it address topics related to historically underrepresented populations or topics?

 * Are all facts in the article backed up by a reliable secondary source of information? Yes
 * Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic? Yes
 * Are the sources current? Yes, most are new, but there are articles from as recent as 2019.
 * Are the sources written by a diverse spectrum of authors? Do they include historically marginalized individuals where possible? yes, and yes
 * Are there better sources available, such as peer-reviewed articles in place of news coverage or random websites? (You may need to do some digging to answer this.) No.

 * What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic? Conversations about how portions of the article are represented differently in other sources, conferences about orphaned references, and conversations about how the information in the article is relevant.
 * How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects? It is rated as B- class, and is a level 5 vital article. It is part of the Wikiproject Molecular and Cell Biology.
 * How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class? History is very detailed, and there are other portions that are not included as it is not part of the scope of a cell biology course.

Overall impressions

 * What is the article's overall status? Very well written article, lead could be a bit more concise.
 * What are the article's strengths? Lots of detail, and every portion of the peroxisome is addressed.
 * How can the article be improved? more images, especially for more detailed sections such as Peroxisome Assembly.
