Which article are you evaluating?
Cutibacterium acnes

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I did my own research involving Cutibacterium acnes bacteria and wanted to see if it was a good starting article for those interested in learning more about C. acnes. I was curious to see if it had a basic overview of the bacteria and a solid launching point into further research. My initial impression was that it had good introductory information and was quick and fairly easy to read. I like how it touched on antibiotic resistance, as that was a main focus of my research, and is a current issue with many bacteria.

Evaluate the article
The language used in the beginning paragraphs describing C. acnes is a scientific and may be advanced when first starting to learn about the bacteria. Making the language more accessible will make the article easier to understand and navigate through. More detail on acne vulgaris could be included in the article, as well as how S. epidermidis and C. acnes work together and must be balanced on the skins normal flora. Minimal information is given on other diseases or complications C. acnes may cause as the sections are as short as one sentence and do not provide much information. For the amount of sources used in the article, I would expect more information given, however, it shows the information given is backed up by many sources. There are also only 4 talk updates that range from 2007-2017, so this article is not visited frequently enough for updates. Overall it gives solid starting information about C. acnes, but the language could be more accessible and more information could be added within paragraph sections.
