Allele frequency

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this article because it was on the start list and it was in the "C" category. This means that the article is not very complete, and it is also not very well written. From briefly looking through the article, the article seems like it jumps around a lot and it does not have very many sources.

As for sources, this article does not have very many sources. there are a lot of sentences that contain material that is not backed up by a source. I tried to even open some of the sources and some sources required special programs to be downloaded in order to view. Due to that fact, I have no clue if the source is even reliable and had the correct data. I am also not sure that all of the sources are cited correctly since some sources do not really provide much for information, so I am either not sure if the author citied and incorrect source or the wrong part of the source.

For content, I though that this page was decent. It contained all of the information that I have learned about in previous classes, and some extra information. However, I do not think that it is written very well. The sentences seem to jump around a lot, and there are a lot of sentences that don't have supporting information to them. The sentences say one thing, and then move on to another topic related to allele frequency, but the first topic is never explained fully.

There were no images for this wiki page. The author tried to make some equations, but honestly they were so difficult for me to read and understand it took until an example to understand the point the author was trying to get through. I think there are simpler images that could be implemented to better explain than trying to use words, which aren't very clear.

There isn't much to look at for the talk page. 3 total comments showed up and they were from at least four years ago. At the bottom, it mentions that the allele frequency page was last edited on 22 October 2021. I feel like there is more up to date articles that could be used if it was last updated last year.

For overall impressions, I think a few minor changes would make this page a lot clearer. I do not know if there is necessarily much to be added to this page, but moving sentences around and possibly adding more information to what is already stated would make this much clearer.
