Isogenous groups

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'm currently taking Introduction to Histology (BIO328). Histology plays a key role in many different fields including dental medicine. As I plan to go to dental school in the future, taking the time to truly understand the material from this course has been very important to me. For each topic I'm required to complete drawings of and identify various tissue types and their components. While learning about cartilage I learned what isogenous groups look like, how they're formed, and what role they play in tissue function. As I searched for a Wikipedia page to work on, I came across the isogenous group page and saw that it had room to grow. Improving this page will be beneficial for others learning about histology.

This is an excellent summary of isogenous groups, however, I feel it could be further developed. Below I've evaluated the article and included a few suggestions for improvement.

- There are currently no discussions occurring in the Talk page and the last edit was made on 5/16/2020.

- As part of the WikiProject Physiology, this article has received a stub quality rating and a mid-importance rating. As part of the WikiProject Medicine, this article has received stub quality and low-importance ratings.

- There are 9 articles that link to the isogenous group page.

- Interstitial growth is linked, however, a Wikipedia page for this doesn't exist.

- In the reference section, the link to the source used doesn't work.

- The article has a neutral tone and appears unbiased.

- There appears to be a few areas within the lead where wording could be changed to improve flow.

- Images could be included to show what isogenous groups look like.

- Information could be added regarding the formation of isogenous groups and their function in the tissue.

- Additional sources could be incorporated to strengthen the article.

While the information provided regarding isogenous groups is accurate, these suggestions may help improve the overall article quality.
