Which article are you evaluating?
Alvinocarididae

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article to evaluate because it is related to what we will be doing for our project. This matters because it gives an overview of the different species within the Alvinocarididae family of shrimp. It seems relatively detailed with many Wiki-links, but not many references.

Evaluate the article
The topic sentence is easy to understand and gives a good foundation for what the rest of the page will look like. It is concise and provides information about the rest of the article, but has some information that seems random/ out of place. The content of the article is definitely relevant but lacks detail, which may mean that it is out of date and lacking sufficient research to get a full picture. There is no bias in this article, and it seems completely neutral and informational. All facts are cited, but most of them come from the same few sources, which leads the reader to believe that it is not updated or that not enough research was put into finding a complete set of data for this topic. The article is well organized and contains a few pictures, but it would be helpful to see more that show the morphological differences within the species of shrimp.
