User:Jneyyan/Evaluate an Article

Which article are you evaluating?
Bioreactor

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I have chosen this article because it aligns with my career interests. It is an important subject for the biotech field, as it is a staple technology used to produce biological components involved in therapeutics and pharmaceuticals. My preliminary impression of the article was that it is way too short to cover all that bioreactors involve, and that the sections currently written for it are interesting; they are not the sections I assume are of primary importance.

Evaluate the article
(Compose a detailed evaluation of the article here, considering each of the key aspects listed above. Consider the guiding questions, and check out the examples of what a useful Wikipedia article evaluation looks like.)

Lead Section
The first sentence is not nearly descriptive enough to define what a bioreactor is, and the rest of the lead section provides no introduction on the other sections. It talks about things that are not brought up again later. Therefore, it tends to be over-precise in explaining things that would better fit as sections of their own.

Content
Considering that 90% of the references are from before 2012, the article is not at all up to date. The topics are relevant, but are not the priority; there are other topics that should have been the first to discuss.

Tone and Balance
It is written in a neutral and objective tone, so this does not need to be improved.

Sources and References
Many citations are missing, and where there are citations, they are not nearly interspersed enough. They are just chunks from various sources listed one after the other. Several links that I checked do not worked.

Organization and Writing Quality
The sections are not organized; rather they are just pasted one after the other from various sources with no cohesiveness. The writing itself is clear, however, although it could be more descriptive.

Images and Media
There are no images.

Talk Page
The Talk page is quite all over the place with no discussion on the direction of the article. Small problems were brought up but the article needs a major overhaul that has not been discussed.

It is a level 5 vital article in Technology. It is rated C-Class. It is part of the Biology WikiProject and within scope of the Technology WikiProject.
