Which article are you evaluating?
Domestication of the cat

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I have chosen this article because of its opportunities as well as my interest in the domestication of different cat breeds. As a cat owner, the evolution from wild cats to modern house cats is the epitome for what the future holds.

Evaluate the article
The Domestication of the Cat, is rated a C-class article. To begin, the lead section is properly written and is overall, average. It does a decent job of illustrating the topics that are further elaborated on as the article proceeds. However, the introductory paragraph mentions the idea of genetic technologies that further support these claims, however, it is not mentioned later on in the article. This is some thing that would add to the depth and future understanding of the topic. The content including different forms of evidence as well as the differentiation of breeds is all relevant and up to date with the latest edit on February 26th, 2024, and consistently edited prior. Despite this, I feel there could be more detail on the neurological aspect of domestication if there are studies that support such. This specific topic is not one that appears to be biased toward a specific side, therefore I consider this a neutral article. While explicitly providing facts, there is no attempt for persuasion. Properly referencing 19 sources, the article does a good job of including functional hyperlinks to support the facts. As the list of authors is diverse and the sources vary, I, personally, don’t see any further sources that could be used. Overall, the article is very easy to read as it is short and to the point, However, for someone that may not be considerably familiar with the evolution and naming of breeds, it may be of interest to start by making things simpler, I don’t recognize any spelling or grammatical errors and it is sufficiently organized to reflect the major points. This article does provide a few images and vague descriptions that support the understanding of the topic, including a couple domestic cat examples and a wild cat example to illustrate the similarities. While these pictures provide good insight, it could have been done in a more efficient way to show comparison. In terms of the talk page, there was a peer review that was included that encouraged grammatical tweaks to improve the flow oats a whole. There is another inclusion that provides an article that supports the facts on whether or not cats have been fully domesticated. To rate this articles overall completeness, I would say that it is averagely developed. It is short and to the point, including relevant information that supports the domestication process and evolution of cats. In terms of wiki projects, it is part of cats which is of high importance, evolutionary biology, and archaeology, both of mid importance.
