Which article are you evaluating?
Marine microbial symbiosis - Wikipedia

Why have you chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I am interested in the symbiotic relationship between the marine organisms. Studying marine symbiosis helps people to understand about the dynamics between various marine organisms at different levels and how they can be potentially used in biotechnology industry. The preliminary impression of the article was okay, and it had examples from reliable journal articles as sources.

Evaluate the article
The article has a short lead introduction about marine microbial symbiosis, the environment and symbiosis in general. The introduction also introduces new terms. I felt there was a sentence in the introduction that has the author's opinion like how it is surprising that marine symbiosis was discovered so late despite its prominent presence. It didn't have a background of its own but was linked to the marine microbiome page. The mechanism of symbiosis is short and taken from only one source. Lot more potential to develop this section from various resources. The article has good number of examples. The images are pretty good, but it could use a more relevant thumbnail image instead of the current one which is about general symbiosis. Overall, my impression about the article is that it has lot of scope and potential for improvement and is also a part of wiki project. It was rated class-C on the wiki quality scale. It feels like it is an underdeveloped article.
