Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

As we have talked about viruses in lectures, I was interested to look into more information on them. Since they are capable of infecting microorganisms in seawater environments, the main focus of this course, it is important to learn of the known threats. My initial impression was that it was a lot of information on one topic with multiple references to many different scientific journals.

Viruses are an infecting organism that can infect all life forms, including microorganisms. The Wikipedia article Virus dwells into all the scientific information gathered from multiple reliable scientific journals to inform the readers all about viruses. Starting with their intro block, they introduce the main subject, virus, with concise and well backed with sources. With its classification in microbiology, role in different environments, and the effect on living organisms, all this information is organised so no fact is left unread. They also work well on updating their information on scientific journals they have sourced to present the most up-to-date information on viruses. With all the information, the authors have written the article clearly with high quality images to convey everything about viruses to their readers in complete format.
