Which article are you evaluating?
Aldol

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article to evaluate because it is not only just some stub, but an important part of organic chemistry and the reactions that make chemical synthesis possible.

Evaluate the article
Albeit concise, the lead section of the article is lacking much substance as compared to other functional group wikipedia pages have to offer, missing some naming nomenclature and important facts about its chemistry. It lacks a lot of content that would otherwise be expected in the article, including many examples of aldols, where and how they may be generated in the wild, and examples. Because of this lack of content, the amount of sources in the article is bare bones, holding only two sources, both of which are refutable, but only give a small picture about what the compound is. The pictures of the compound are very nice, and give a great example for what the compound looks like in lewis structure terms and reactions it takes part in. Overall the article needs a revamp to take it to the level as other articles in related topics, and maybe some love and care.
