Evaluate the article
Lead section: provides concise and briefly comprehensive summary and introduction to the disease. It does not include information not included elsewhere in the article. It is not overly detailed.

Content: The content is relevant to the topic and is up to date. Perhaps the list of famous people who have had the disease is not necessary, but is not completely irrelevant.

Tone and Balance: The article is neutral and does not appear to be biased. Perhaps there can be more discussion and images about what the disease looks like in people with darkly pigmented skin, as the only picture is of a lighter-pigmented individual.

Sources and References: The references appear to be up to date and comprehensive.

Organization and Writing Quality: The writing is concise and clear. There are no spelling or grammatical errors. The epidemiology and history sections can be moved to the beginning to make it more of a traditional format.

Images and Media: The included images are helpful, but more images can be included to show different examples of the disease on different skin types.

Talk page discussion: The talk page discussions are productive and well-thought out. Unvalidated statements in the article are questioned appropriately in the talk page.

Overall impressions: This is a good article with concise yet detailed information, though the organization and images can be improved upon.
