Mycoplasma haemofelis

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 this article because I recall reading that the Mycoplasma genus contains bacteria with no cell walls, so I wanted to investigate and article about a species in this genus. My first impression was that the lead was well developed, but there didn't seem to be a lot of subcategories for the page.

The lead section is heavily cited and does not appear to contain information that does not appear later in the article. It is not overly detailed and the first sentence provides a concise but thorough summary od the bacterium's morphology. The cited articles seem relatively recent (within the last 20 years), but there are no articles more recent than 2010, which could be an issue. Most of the article focuses on the bacteria's pathogenicity; it could include more about the bacteria itself, such as its genome. The tone is very neutral. Most of the links in the reference section seem to work. Some authors seem to be cited multiple times, but this may be because they are experts on this bacterium. There do not appear to be major grammar mistakes. There are not many images or other media in the article besides one picture of the bacterium. There do not appear to be any active conversations on the Talk page. Overall, this page has a solid lead section and some well developed sections in the body, but it could do with updated sources and more details about the bacterium itself rather than the disease it causes. Adding media could also improve the page.
