Which article are you evaluating?
Japanese spurdog

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose it because it's a stub for an endangered species and is lacking a lot of information about the species.

Evaluate the article
Lead section - It's only two sentences and mentions only the taxonomy and distribution of the species.

Content - There is no content beyond the lead section.

Tone and balance - What information the article has is neutral and doesn't show bias toward any certain viewpoint.

Sources and references - There are only two references, one for the IUCN Red List and one for an online fish database.

Organization and writing quality - Both sentences in the article are well written and concise.

Images and media - There is a map of its distribution that does not match the distribution listed in the text.

Talk page discussion - There is a message from 2009 about a copyright issue.

Overall impressions - The article is very short and missing a lot of important information about the species, such as a description, ecology, and conservation.
