Which article are you evaluating?
ABCD² score

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

I chose this article to evaluate because this is a topic that we were taught in class. This article matters because it can potentially be a really informative resource as the ABCD² score is a useful diagnostic tool to determine a person's risk of stroke. My preliminary impression of the article was that it seemed organized but definitely could benefit from added information.

The article has a good lead section that contains relevant information to introduce readers to the topic. This section could be briefer and it would be beneficial to separate out some of the information into separate sections such as a history/background section to make the intro more concise. The content of the article is relevant to the topic but more content could be added to provide a more comprehensive review of the subject. Currently, there are only 3 sections (intro, scoring system, and interpretation). The article could benefit from an added history and implications for treatment section as the score does affect which medication will be used. The tone of the article does seem balanced as the article also mentions the shortfalls of the ABCD² score. The article is organized and easy to read. The image in the scoring system section provides a good visual on how scores are assessed which is accompanied by an example. Conversations on the talk page suggested that the article seems incomplete, the table is confusing to interpret, and that an example of scoring would be useful. I do agree that the example of scoring really helped in understanding how the scoring table is used. This article is rated as c-class. Overall, I thought that the article did provide some really insightful points about the ABCD² score but I do think more contributions need to be added in order to improve the article.
