Other Assignment Requirements
Article Evaluation: [|Cuttlefish]

Evaluating Content
 * The content is good and concise enough for a general overview of cuttlefish
 * However the section on communication seems to be overly detailed and takes up too much space in the article. The information presented here might be better in its own article.
 * Most information seems up to date, nothing jumps out as dated
 * A possible addition could be made to add a section about how cuttlefish and bobtail squid are heavily studied in lab settings, not just for "smart clothing" as is implied near the end of the article
 * The article does seem to mostly focus on larger species

Evaluation Tone
 * Since cuttlefish themselves are a pretty non-controversial topic there doesn't seem to be anything on the page that is biased to any one opinion.
 * The tone does seem to shift from more informal and casual to overly detailed and scientific at times, especially in regards to the section on communication. None of it could be considered too jargon-y however, just a little dense at points.

Evaluating Sources
 * Most sources come from post 2000, always good in science
 * Vast majority of sources have doi's and point to scientific journals as sources, all the ones I clicked worked
 * earlier sources listed are a little less trustworthy, (NOVA, PBS, ect.)
 * One section under specialized components that talks about uses of squid ink in pasta has no citations at all.

Talk Page
 * some seems to come from non-experts who saw something on vacation or on some documentary and are questioning if they can add this content to the page without any proper citations.
 * the talk also seems to focus on the nitty gritty such as wording of specific things.
 * The article is part of three wikiprojects: Cephalopods, fisheries and fishing, food and drink
 * Much less scientifically based talk than what we do in class.

Possible Topics
Page is only three sentences long, and only talks about the depth they live at and a bit about classification Nothing at all on the talk page Some of the species are well described the page for the genus is very lacking Wiki page does not exist yet. multiple pictures and articles exist.
 * 1) Halityle regularis - Ok to use.
 * 1) Genus Euprymna - OK to use.
 * 1) Maratus splendens - Ok, but make sure there are enough species-specific sources before you begin writing.
