Vitamin C

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

'''I choose this article because I have learned the materials about Vitamin C in several courses such as quantitative analysis, biochemistry 1, and biochemistry 2. Vitamin C matters a lot because it is highly relevant to the biochemistry courses that I am currently taking. Vitamin C is a necessary cofactor in many biochemical mechanisms. When I first read this article on Wikipedia, my impression was that it was clear, straightforward, and it pointed out several important facts and features of Vitamin C in the opening paragraph. The information was useful and it gained my attention.'''

Evaluate the article
(Compose a detailed evaluation of the article here, considering each of the key aspects listed above. Consider the guiding questions, and check out the examples of what a useful Wikipedia article evaluation looks like.)

Lead Section: I think the lead section is pretty clear and concise, it provides some important facts about Vitamin C and a brief introduction on its history.

'''Content: I think the information in this wiki page is relevant to the topic, and it is up-to-date, there are people updating this page. But I think there are some important concepts that are missing in this page. For example, Vitamin C is an essential cofactor for DNA repair, the AlkB enzyme need the presence of Vitamin C so that it can function properly to restore the mutated bases to their normal structures. Also, it does address some historically underrepresented topics since it mentions the pharmacokinetics of Vitamin C.'''

'''Tone and Balance: I think this article is based on a neutral tone, there is nothing biased toward a specific stand point. It does not persuade readers to pick a side.'''

'''Sources and References: I think the sources and references provided on this page are very detailed and useful. When I tried to open some of the links, they all work and direct me to either a textbook or a peer-reviewed journal.'''

'''Organization and writing quality: I think the information on this page is easy to read and follow, it is concise and clear. It does contain some small grammatical errors but it does not affect my understanding to the materials.'''

Images and Media: This article contains images to enhance reader's understanding of Vitamin C. I think they follow Wikipedia's copyright rule.

'''Talk Page Discussion: This page has an empty talk page, there is no discussion going on behind the scenes. It is not part of a Wiki project.'''

'''Overall Impressions: I think the information about Vitamin C on this page is very useful and it does cover a lot of the scientific facts about Vitamin C. I will give it a 4 out of 5 for rating. Although it lacks some important concepts and applications in the biochemistry field, it is good enough for most people who want to understand Vitamin C for daily life or science classes. It can be improved if it can include the biosynthesis scheme diagram and the concept about Vitamin C in DNA repair. Overall, I think this article is already well-developed. '''
