Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
It is a process that is relevant to the work we are doing in our biogeochemistry class.

Evaluate the article
The lead is concise and the writing style is appropriate but there isn't really any discussion of the sections of the article, but it is a very short article so perhaps that is not very necessary.

The article is short and mostly deals with the molecular biology of sulfate reduction but does not touch at all on the ecology of the organisms that perform this type of metabolism nor does it address the significance of this process both locally in ecosystems as well as globally in a biogeochemical context. The citations in the article are mostly from 8-10 years ago so they could probably use some updating.

The organization and writing seem appropriate for a Wiki article.

The strength of the article is that it is fairly well written and researched, but the biggest weakness is that in needs more ecological and biogeochemical context.
