Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
Fun Fact about me: I love sharks. Shark week in my household is considered a holiday week. I chose this article because it was a C-rated article and thought it could use some attention.

Evaluate the article
The wording in the first sentence is not appealing, "The hammerhead sharks are a group of sharks that for the Sphyrnidae." The lead of the article speaks of hammerhead sharks, which is good because the article is titled Hammerhead Sharks. It does not seem to give a lot of information to draw in the reader. I think the wording is not concise and relatively choppy. The lead does not include a any type of description of what the article will be discussing.

To me, there seems to be a lot of information missing. This is more of a barebones article about hammerheads. This article does seem to be neutral. This is a neutral topic that just talks about the marine facts of the hammerhead shark.

The pictures are clear and easy to see but the pictures do not have a source attached to them. The photographer is not being given credit unless you actually click on the picture. Is that normal? The pictures are great quality though, very pleasing to look at (Except for the shark murder, not pleasing to look at).

When I click on some of the sources that were provided, it takes me to links such as ScienceDirect, Discovery News, Earth News, and other science sites. I consider this to be relatively reliable information. Then we have some sites like SportsDiver which I am not sure if it would be considered

As I look at the talk page, it is just correction of information. I also saw people complaining of the pictures, saying that they could not see the shark. someone had edited a picture and justified why they edited it. Also, Also people just expressing what I believe are personal opinions. It also people asking for more information on the that was not there. They came to the Wikipedia page to find more information on hammerhead sharks and they were disappointed in what they found.
