Which article are you evaluating?
Creation and evolution in public education

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose to evaluate this article because I am a biology major and I have done a lot of class work over evolution. I think teaching evolution in public schools is an important topic because you want to be respectful of religious beliefs but you also want to teach what is scientifically accurate. It's an important topic because f left unchecked some teachers would teach based on personal opinions and now well based research. My preliminary impression was that the article was nicely organized by country and the initial summary was easy to understand. The lead section was quick and easy to read while still being unbiased and getting the point of the article across.

Evaluate the article
The lead section was concise and short and the topic sentence was easy to find. It gave a really good idea of what could be found in the remainder of the article. The article's content is relevant to the topic and some of the sources are a bit older but for the most part the article is up to date. Most of the article seems unbiased but there are bits where the tone tends to learn towards pro-evolution in schools. There are tons of sources from a lot of different authors which may have been because they added information for every country but I think it's a good range of sources. The article is well-written and organized, the writing is to the point and isn't overtly confusing. There aren't any images in this article. A lot of the conversations on the talk page were about fact checking or providing more information for certain areas. Overall I would say the article is pretty strong and the continued improvement from other wikipedia editors as new information is found is all that is needed.
