Chemosterilant

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I have chosen this article to evaluate due to the fact that I am a pre-veterinary student, and the use of chemosterilants for non-surgical castration has been of interest within the past decade, particularly to control the stray cats/dogs population without having to administer general anesthesia. It is especially important in developing countries with large populations of free-roaming animals, as we do not want more animals on the street that have no access to healthy food as well as shelter that is conducive to their development. My preliminary impression of this article is that is is missing subsections, and all of the information is coupled together, and could use much organization.

The lead includes an introductory sentence that clearly defines the topic and is easy to understand, as there is not much jargon, and everything is stated in laymen’s terms. The lead does not include a brief description of the article’s major sections, as there are no major subjections. The article is in need of some organization. The lead does not include information that is not present in the article. Overall, the lead is concise, and is not overly detailed.

The article’s content is completely relevant to the topic. The content is up to date with references that have been written within the past decade. The article is missing some content. It does not deal with underrepresented populations or topics, and is a bit of niche topic.

The article’s tone is neutral without any claims that are biased or would steer a reader towards a particular position.

The facts in the article seem to be backed up by reliable sources of information, but there are not enough sources within the article. The sources used are good but could use even more research from peer reviewed journals. The links are all functional.

The article is well written, but is not broken down into sub topics. I also found issue with the introduction directly having been copied from Britannica.

There are no images within this article.

There is a talk page, but there is only one comment that is of note, which is to link the article to a related topic.

The article is rated as a level-5 vital article in technology with a stub-class designation and a low importance designation.

The strengths of this article is its readability, but can be improved with organization and more context.
