Article Evaluation: Osmoprotectants
Article Evaluation: Osmoprotectants


 * Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you? Yes everything is relevant. The one thing that distracted me was the interchanging use of "osmoprotectant" and "compatible solute." Even though it was mentioned that these are synonyms, it was distracting in the article.
 * Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added? As far as I can tell, it is all up to date without anything important missing.
 * What else could be improved? There is only an introduction section and a role sections. Possibly breaking it up and getting more specific could make the article better.
 * Is the article neutral? Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? The article is neutral. I can't spot any biases.
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? Possibly the large agriculture focus is overrepresented because osmoprotectants are interesting past agriculture.
 * Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article? The doi link works but not the hyperlink for the first source. It is a good relevant source that supports the article's claims.
 * Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted? Yes - when reading through the article, I did not notice any statements requiring citations that were lacking them. Most sources are from academic journals.
 * What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic? There is nothing on the talk page. It appears that the article was written by a student in a Wikiedu course.
 * How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects? It is rated stub and low importance. It is not a part of a WikiProject.
 * How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class? We have not mentioned this topic in class, although I found it on the article page for proline.
