Evaluating an Article

I read the Wikipedia page for potatoes. It is very thoroughly done, and contains just about all you could want to know about the potato. I do feel like it is quite repetitive at times and could benefit from having someone cut things down for clarity. On the talk page it seems that people are still finding new things to add and edits to make. The article has a lengthy amount of citations and sources. Lots of these were very old, but except for one all them I checked worked and seemed very reliable.

Assignment 11/29

What I have done to polish my work is really just reading over it many times and trying to figure out ways to make it more clear and comprehensive. Figuring out what sections would be beneficial to add to break-up information that makes people want to read it all. I could not figure out how to copy and paste the article into my sandbox so I have been working on it in a google doc.
