Common squirrel monkey - Wikipedia

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this to learn more about the squirrel monkey, which is a species I have never heard of before. Learning about different species is important in many ways. For example, a better understanding of their habitats can help protect them from extinction. My first thoughts on the article is that the last two sections, "conservation status" and "as pets," were very underdeveloped.

Evaluate the article
The introduction is almost too repetitive and in-depth. The phrase "common name" was used twice in the first two sentences alone. Also, the last sentence of the intro was long and unnecessary.

The phrase, "possibly the result of an illegal release or of an escape from the pet trade," is showing one person's view. The source was not able to be found, making it hard to understand where the phrase was coming from.

Facts at the bottom of the article are not sourced. More could be added to the "conservation status" section including possible reasons for the squirrel monkeys to be captured for medical research.

One of the references was unnecessarily listed twice in the references section.
