The article I chose to evaluate was Darwin from Orchids to Variation. The lead section was successful in introducing the articles main objectives and topic. The introductory sentence named the purpose, time frame, and brief summary of what the article would dive deeper into. I enjoyed how the article read as a timeline, by providing dates of when research was done the overall understanding was grasped. Throughout the article there was no spelling mistakes seen, and there was an image that coincided with the information being given. While the article was well written, and the correct citations were made throughout, I did not find the tone of the article to be very compelling or leaving myself wanting more. The articles strengths were its organization and factual evidence, and the weaknesses were the lack of visual representations of the material. The talk page consisted of one conversation about how some information could be moved to a separate article about "X club" as it was not deemed necessary for this article. Overall, I found the article to be well developed and easy to follow.
