Which article are you evaluating?
Diverticular disease

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose it because diverticular disease is very common. I have come across many patients during my rotation who had been diagnosed with it and didn't understand what the disease entailed. My preliminary impression of the article was that it was incomplete. A layperson reading the article would not gain much understanding of the disease from reading the current article.

Evaluate the article
The lead section is too concise. The introductory sentence is sufficient to to describe the article's topic. However, the lead section does not include a brief description of the sections within the article. It also includes information that is not present in the article.

The content of the article is relevant to the topic but is heavily missing much more information to adequately describe the disease. A layperson would still not able to understand the disease process, diagnostic and treatment process after reading this article. This article is in "starting" state and requires much updating.

The tone of the article is neutral and fact-based. It does not try to sway the reader's opinion one way or the other.

The citations used in the current articles are mostly of good quality. Except one source was not properly cited, and another was duplicated. They are valid links that lead to various neutral and reputable sources.

The article is well written at a level that a non-medical professional can understand. It is free of medical jargons. Structurally the article is well laid out thus far but still lacking major sections that would complete the topic.

The article currently doesn't contain any images.

The article is rated as start class, and there are currently no conversations in the talk page.

Overall, the article is in the beginning state with some core sections already in place. It is well written and easy to understand. It needs much updating and more information added to present a complete picture of the topic.
