(Provide a link the article here.)Amoeba

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.)

I chose it because it relates to the class and it is important because they are found in every major lineage of eukaryotic organisms. My impression is that it looked well put together and I like the pictures.

I like that the article specified it was about the cellular body type and put a link if you are looking for genus and a link for other uses. They included several example pictures of the organism. It starts out with a definition of an amoeba and goes into classification. It then talks about the most common amoeboid protists. The next section is shape, movement and nutrition and I liked that they included pictures to illustrate the section. The next section is diet with a picture of phagocytosis and it differentiates between the parasitic amoebae and detritivores. The next section is size range and there is a chart for the size range of different species. The next section is specialized cells and life cycle stages which talks about their life cycle stages in depth. The next section talks about the history of Sarcodina and how the name came to be. There is then a small section on the dismantling of Sarcodina. The next section is mainly a large classification chart including supergroups and morphology. There is a short section on pathogenic interactions with other organisms which I am not sure completely fits into the beginning where they said the article is only on cellular body type. The last section is on Meiosis which I think could have benefitted from a picture. There are many reliable references for this article. From the talk page it seems a good amount of changes were made including the addition of more pictures.
