Jennifer Thomson

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article to edit because we are meant to be updating article on female scientists and Jennifer Thomson's was very bare and not written like a wikipedia article.

Evaluate the article
Lead Section: There is not a true lead section in the article at all as the entire article only consists of 1 paragraph.

Tone and Balance: Of what is present in the article there is very little encyclopedic feel. It is very blunt, short, and uninterested.

Content: There is very little content at all. While is is not as much of a known scientist she still deserves attention and dedication. It does not seem the person who wrote this did that. There is very little details about her life outside of her place of birth and still very little on her accomplishments.

Sourcing and resources: There are only 3 sources so far. I understand it might be hard to find sources for this researcher, as she is not as well known as some, but only 3 is still very little.

Organization and writing quality: There is very little organization as the whole article is split into only 2 very small paragraphs. These sections do not have titles or anything. The quality of writing is also severely lacking. It lacks complexity, depth, knowledge of the subject and attention to detail. All of the sentences are blunt, ridgid, and lack flow.

Images and Media: There are not images or media linked with this article.

Talk page: One of the only redeeming things about this article is that it has a lot of cross reference with other wikipedia pages. Other than that though it was rated rather poorly.

Overall impressions: I think I could add a whole lot more to this article. Even if I choose to not add actual content there is a lot to be done to fix the format and make the article sound more professional and encyclopedic.
