Elgin Reptiles
Elgin Reptiles

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because this is the fossil classification for my groups extinct species.

Lead section
Good description of Elgin Reptiles. Gives a brief history about them and current information as well. It also plugs in information that will be followed up later in the article such as the types of fossils.

Content
Each section is equal in writing and have relevant information. I really like how this is a graph denoting each species discovered there.

Tone and balance
The article is neutral and only states information pertaining to the topic.

Sources and references
Most citations seem good. Such as the museum that majority of these fossils are housed, and some articles. However some of the links are outdated and most are only from the British Isles. The ladder is appropriate though as this region is exclusively where the fossils are found.

Organization and writing quality
The article is easy to read and I could not find any grammatical errors. I also like the flow of the article; how it goes from history, to fossils, and then to the species found in the region.

Images and media
The article includes many images of the species, and the captions include name and short description of the image. All images adhere to wiki copyright policy as a the individual uploaded them as their own work. The images are also placed in strategic spots and are not random. This aids further in the digestion of the article.

Talk page discussion
There are no current conversations going on in the talk section, but the article is part of two other WikiProjects, paleontology and Scotland. Paleontology because this is is related to the study of fossils and Scotland because Elgin reptiles are exclusively found in that region.

Overall Impression
Overall the article is pretty good. It could use some more sources and more up to date information in the form of current findings and events happening in this region.
