Which article are you evaluating?
Atom economy

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.)

A relatively small article given the concept it deals with. The concept is an important one for non-technical persons to be aware of and helps put a quantifiable value to how "green" synthesis or chemical processes are. Miscommunication of this topic will have far reaching consequences. Of the articles shortlisted only one with a major error to discuss.

Lead
The article's lead clearly introduces the topic, does not contain any information the rest of the page does not and is brief but detailed enough in introducing the topic. The lead section does not include a brief description of page main sections.

Content
Equity is not a relevant topic to the content of this article. The article very briefly mentions the topic being a core part of Green Chemistry, and could benefit from the considering the environment benefits that came from atom economy. However, the definition of atom economy present is not quite correct and should be improved. Content is also fairly up to date.

Tone and Balance
Tone is neutral. no fringe or minority view points are stated.

Sources and References
Some of the links (e.g. reference #4) do not work.

The reference links that work are either journal articles or books no random in-credible sources are given.

Organization and writing quality
Well organized article that reads easily.

Image and Media
Image is appropriate as well as well captioned and placed.

Does not appear to violate copyright policies of wikipedia.

Talk page discussion
The discussion in the talk page is about a minor detail, given that fact that the major definition presented in equation form is incorrect. Although the concept is explained correctly. Does not appear to be have many Wikipedians working on it.

Overall impressions
A decent article overall. Concept is explained correctly, however, definition used for equation is wrong. Needs to be updated to formula weight of desired products/formula weight of all reactants.

Examples of various synthesis with both good and bad atom economies is a good idea. Reference Link 4 needs to be fixed. No major flags or issues apart from the definition used in equation.
