Which article are you evaluating?
Genetically modified crops - Wikipedia

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose to evaluate this article because it is relevant to my topic area, and because I have been interested in the progress and impact of genetically engineered crops. There have been a lot of controversies around GMOs, and it is important to have accurate, unbiased information about it.

Evaluate the article
The article has a long and in depth lead section, and the rest of the article covers a lot of different topic matters around genetically modified crops. Overall, the article is fairly neutral, however there is an imbalance of information in certain topic areas, that seem to be because there is a lack of research in those areas as well. The article is also naturally focused on the motivations and impacts of the developed nations that created GMOs and there is less information on developing nations. In particular, parts of the Traits section and the Farming Practices section could be improved by adding more information about the impacts of those traits or how those traits have affected farming practices. Throughout the article, it is well cited, clear, and has a few images and graphs.
