Which article are you evaluating?
Pug

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article to evaluate since I own a Pug and I would say I know a decent amount about the breed, but I wanted to know a little bit more about the history of the breed since I don't know as much about that subject area of the breed.

Evaluate the article
The article's lead section provides concisely identifies the topic of the article (Pugs). The lead section also provides a list of the content covered in the article with links to each section and it does not appear to contain any information that is not covered in the article. I didn't find the lead section to be too overly detailed. I found it gave a nice brief introduction into what the page would be about and a summary of some facts about Pugs. All the content on the page appears to be up-to-date. Any older articles appear to be from reputable sites about the breed such as the American Kennel Club (AKC) which sets the breed standards for all types of dogs. After reading through the article there does not seem to be any biased areas of the article. Sometimes when I have come across an article about pugs authors or contributors try to argue that breeds with flat faces should not exist. This article outlines issues that can arise from breeds with flatter snouts but do not argue for one side or the other. Additionally, the article gives a good history of the breed and comparison pictures as the breed has evolved. Something that might be interesting to add to the article and to research more is the evolution of how flat a pug's face is. I have seen other articles and posts on forums that claim Pugs have always had a fully flat face like we see today. The sources appear to be cited properly and have footnotes that correspond to the cited article. The links work when I click on them. Overall, the article is well written and provides a nice mix of visuals for anyone reading the article and all images have a link tied to them. The article is easy to follow as it is broken down into sections which makes it easier for readers to find a specific area on the topic if they need it. There does not appear to be anything super recent transpiring on the talk page for the article one of the more recent discussions had to do with the Dutch laws on the length of Pugs snouts. Some conversation is just other editors talking about how much they love Pugs. Overall, the article is well structured and easy to read. it does not appear to have any glaring issues with links to articles or grammatical errors. As I mentioned above the only thing that might be worth adding to the article or researching more is the history of the length of the breed's snout since some websites claim the dog originated with the flat snout we are all used to seeing now.
