De Magnete

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
Magnetism is one of the fundamental forces of nature, and so the development of our understanding of magnetism through history is also an important topic. I chose this article because after looking through it, I saw that while some general information was covered, it seemed that there was a large amount of potential improvement regarding the specifics of this book and its influence on the time period.

Evaluate the article
While a concise lead section is generally good practice, this article seems to be lacking in important information that should be introduced in the lead section. giving a brief overview of the sections to be discussed throughout the article in the lead section may be beneficial.

Another potential problem is how short the contents section is, while some information is given, it is likely that more relevant information is available that could help give a more in-depth understanding of the topic. Additionally, the wording used is unclear in some portions and may confuse the reader in what the article is trying to convey.

Looking at the talk page shows this article has not been discussed much which is also an indicator that there is work to be done on the article.
