Article evaluation
Article being evaluated: Nucleic acid double helix


 * Everything in the article seemed to be relevant, although some topics felt a bit tangential, like non-double helical forms
 * The sources could definitely use some updating. There's only 2-3 citations from after 2010. Some more expansion on grooves and their binding might be nice. Also a section on mutations / issues with double helix base pairing might be good. Or explicitly mentioning Watson-Crick base pairing.
 * More addition of recent breakthroughs and expansion of broad subtopics would be good.
 * Overall the tone sounded good, although there are conflicting opinions about Rosalind Franklin's credit, or lack therof, that was glossed over a bit potentially.
 * There was a lot of information about the secondary structure of DNA and less about the primary structure that helps determine its form.
 * Links worked for the most part and were easy to follow up with. There were a lot of primary sources though, not preferred secondary sources. Sources were for the most part reliable and unbiased though.
 * The talk page is active though most activity is old. There were a lot of conversations about subtopics to add / improve upon
 * It's rated c class and is in the wikiprojects genetics
 * It definitely focuses more on the biophysics of DNA than my classes did.
