Evaluate the article
Lead: The article lead is concise but effective in introducing sloth bears as a species. Gives a very brief overview of the article as a whole. Essentially takes the main attributes of the sloth bear and highlights them.

Content: Content is relevant and up to date with scientific knowledge of sloth bears. Section on attacks is unnecessarily long compared to other sections. No real explanation for the naming convention of 'sloth' bear since it is also known as the labiated bear. Taxonomy section is short and unclear in the origins of the Latin/scientific name 'Melursus ursinus' or its meaning.

Sources: Lots of sources of differing opinions and origins. Only 2 cited sources but lots of references. Most references are from 1980s-2010s, so still fairly relevant. Links work well, minimal digging required to find information. Both scientific, storytelling, and first hand accounts all represented

Tone: Mostly neutral, portion recalling human interactions toes the line.

Quality and Organization: Well organized and informative of both scientific and cultural attributes.

Images: Good amount of images and visual representations, not too few or too many. Photos are good quality, informative, and are captioned appropriately

Talk: Talk is very minimal, mostly link updates and linked pages. Someone asked a similar question to what I brought up previously about their name but has not been addressed yet

Overall: Solid article, very informative about sloth bears. There isn't a tremendous amount of information about them, so hopefully with time and knowledge the page will improve. In it's current state is it very simplistic and could use more information as it becomes available.
