User:Lemons33/Evaluate an Article

Which article are you evaluating?
IUCN Red List

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it is based on material I have learned in lecture thus far in the course, so I have a basic understanding of the topic. The article appears underdeveloped due to it's lack of Categories and Sub-Categories. It is worth evaluating because it is important to update and strengthen articles in Wikipedia that are underdeveloped if you have the information or expertise to do so.

Evaluate the article
Review by Lemons33

The general impression of this article is that it appears to lack details, especially surrounding the criteria of the evaluation of species. More research and updated information would be beneficial for this content.
 * Under the 'Categories' section the horizontal image comparing the number of species in categories of the IUCN red list seems to stick out. I suggest reformatting this image so it does not spill into the 'Versions' section.
 * Although a few criteria for putting a species on the red list are stated in the 'Categories' section, more information on the criteria used or process of evaluating species would strengthen this article. Ideally enough information should be compiled to make it it's own section.
 * The Lead section provides a strong overview of the topic and is clear and concise; however, the rest of the article could use more details to flesh out what has been started.
 * It would be worth going back to the IUCN Red List 'Talk' page discussion and checking the feedback given. Specifically, the information under 'Proposition new title' I believe suggests a more accurate title (here is their website for further reference https://www.iucnredlist.org/), and punctuation suggestions to polish the article.
