The article “Public Health” provides a holistic approach to the understanding of science and art of maintaining and promoting human health in society. The starting paragraph details the defining terms pertinent to public health and parameters required to gauge it. It mentions a pandemic ailment without offering the differentiation between endemic and pandemic, which can be confusing. The content follows a strict adherence to topic. A notable quality of a good Wikipedia article is the relevance. Considering the categorization of article under tags of “public health”, “euthenics”, “health economics”, “health policy”, “medical humanities” and “sanitation”, it can be postulated that the article content is fully relative. A considerable gap in the article is the arbitrary detailing of public health policies and issues in France, United States, Mexico, Cuba, Colombia and Bolivia. There is no apparent criteria for selection of these countries as they do not present a holistic global health picture of all continents. The article is part of Wikimedia Project (Wikipedia Commons and Wikiproject Nursing). Moreover, it also falls under Wikiversity category. Bring part of Wikipedia’s health care article, it can be viewed offline as well through Medical Wikipedia app. The citations mentioned in the article redirect to correct sources and support the article authentically. The section pertinent to degrees in public health remains undercited, and needs updated information and citation. An addition that can be made to this section is the mention of actual degrees offered by top-rated universities. Also, the talk section mentions suggestions that article rates low on ‘readability’ on the “Hemmingway App”. The sources mentioned in the article are unbiases (as observed from the spot picking of many citation. Public Health is defined as “the art and science of preventing disease, prolonging life and promoting health through the organized efforts of society”
