Which article are you evaluating?
Archimedean spiral - Wikipedia

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
Archimedes, being an important figure in early physics, may have many mathematical secrets yet to uncover. The Archimedean spiral, found in early flying machines, may have more importance to the physical world than we may think.

Evaluate the article
Lead section is good, although may need some clarification on Archimedes' book On Spirals. May need rewrite on the section on Comos of Samos, worded awkwardly.

Page is very theoretical, try to link it to something concrete instead of using mathematical jargon. (From Talk Page)

No citations on many of the applications, including the portions on the spiral radio and finding human tremors.

Latter half of the article is written like a list, no cohesion, it feels like many people have come together to write little tidbits about the article without giving much thought to order or flow.

Images are good- show the spiral itself, where its found in technology, gifs help enhance movement.

Sources are good, article appears somewhat neutral but may be praising the scientific genius of Archimedes and his spiral

Overall Impressions: Article is strong in its sources, knowledge on the spiral in the article is solid. Needs simplifying; this is a topic that is rather complicated, and grounding it would do it some good. Additional sources may be needed for some applications.
