Which article are you evaluating?
August Kekulé

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I wanted to read more about the Kekulé structure, having briefly heard about it in high school, and because I am interested in organic chemistry. The article well introduces August Kekulé, including a short biography, and it seems to include his most important contributions to chemistry after a quick scroll through the article.

Evaluate the article
Since the article is about a person, the lead section is straightforward and provides a concise summary of his life, significance and achievement. The lead section also includes the sub sections of the article.

The article is well organized into clear categories without any grammatical errors. The article maintains a neutral and unbiased tone since it primarily focuses on the person's life and his significant discoveries.

There are a few points I found confusing while reading. One example is the description of a disubstituted benzene with reference to carbon-carbon bond. It may confuse readers and there could have been a clearer way to get the same idea across. I later found out that this point had been addressed on the Talk page.

The images of the ouroboros symbol and the 1964 West German centenary stamp help to connect with the story and are well captioned.

A few reference links tested work and are relevant, but the article could benefit from additional citations in some places.

Many of the citations are old but since the article is about historical facts, they have not changed over time and are still relevant.
