User:Greenmuffinsonly/Evaluate an Article

I am evaluating an article on animal captivity ( Talk:Captivity (animal) ) as it relates to modern zoos and aquariums. The article briefly describes the principles of learned helplessness, and how a thorough understanding of an animal's life history and behavior is required to meet its needs in a captive setting. The article is relative to the topic, but I found it under a category titled "aquarium fishes", and there is no specific mention to captivity of aquatic animals. The article appears somewhat biased in a view of anti-captivity, is very short, and I did not feel that I really learned anything new on the subject after reading. In addition, the first and third reference links do not work, and the sources seem a bit outdated (one from 1968). The general information is good, but there is no introduction to the topic or background information to help novel readers understand the terminology used. The article could be improved with more current information, as well as some added paragraphs that introduce animal captivity in general, how practices have changed to keep up with the evolution of our current understanding, and perhaps even touching on cognitive enrichment for captive animals. Other wikipedia users seemed to have a similar impression of this article on the talk page, calling it 'under-developed' and pointing out some of the same issues that I mentioned. There is definitely room for improvement, but this topic is something that could develop into a great page and source of information.
