Duodenum

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I wanted to learn more about the Digestive system and some of its common clinical aspects, the digestive system as a whole seemed to be too broad so I looked more specifically into the duodenum which is extremely significant in the digestive system and some common clinical issues.

Evaluate the article
Everything in this article seemed to be relevant to the topic and appropriately organized to make the content easy to read through and not confusing. Nothing in particular distracted me that was not a relevant topic of the article. All of the sources seemed to be appropriately up to date as necessary for the particular information provided by that resource. The article describes the duodenum in the context of humans in general, it does not touch on any specific groups of humans. I think this article does its job of describing and providing images of the duodenum very well. If anything, I would add some more information about its nerve supply. The topic and purpose of this article allow it to naturally be extremely neutral in tone without any specific positions being taken or any viewpoints being over/under expressed.

The References of the article are mostly fitting and functional, with only a few missing some aspects to their citation. Numbers 15 and 18 on the list have errors to their citations which include missing titles or generic name. Number 14 also stuck out to me because it only includes the name of the author and the title of the work being references, leaving out the year, publisher, and link. The sources that I explored from the list are all educational and reputable websites, there is also a wide variety of research articles, pieces from textbooks, health websites, and other miscellaneous sources which create a diverse array.

The Talk section of the article includes a lot of explanations behind different editing done to the article since its creation. There are also discussions surrounding certain aspects written into the article and whether or not they fit the criteria of the topic, are in the appropriate location, or provide correct information. This article and the discussions in the Talk section have a heavy focus on clinical aspects of the duodenum, which were discussed in class but not as heavily or in depth as in the Wikipedia article. The article and discussions also include history behind the naming and pronunciation.
