This is a good starter article. It has basic information about prophages and how they propagate. It is balanced and has a neutral tone. Most statements have citations. There is one image that helps to explain prophage insertion.

Citations are lacking in several areas. There could be a better organizational scheme to the article, as some sections may better fall under others rather than featuring as separate sections. There could also be more information about the topic, including benefits and costs to the bacteria and more details on prophage induction. There is practically nothing going on in the talk section.
