Which article are you evaluating?
Frank Chapman (ornithologist)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose it because it's an article that relates directly to the subject I want to write about for this Wikipedia project, Chapman's The Distribution of Bird-life in Columbia (1917) and the Columbia resurvey project. While this page is currently a well-written introduction to Chapman and his work, it is still light on information and labeled as a "start-class" project. Of particular interest to me is the lack of information on this project about recent criticisms of Chapman's methodology and projects like the Columbia resurvey project that build upon both his accomplishments and these criticisms.

As previously mentioned, what is currently in the article is good. However, it is still rather light and has not been updated to include the changing ways in which scientists are interacting with Chapman's work and legacy. This is also indicated by the fact that the last time this article was updated was in 2017, and that was an automatic update by a bot to future-proof the links in the article.
