User:Martine1031/Evaluate an Article

Which article are you evaluating?
Apitherapy

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because there is not much information on it and it is related to a topic that I am interested in which is Traditional Medicine. It matters because alternative and non-Western medicine is often overlooked and having more information on this subtopic can help people know more about it.

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 - The lead section is very concise and does not introduce the sections of the article. It could have more information added to it that will better introduce what the article is about.

Content - All of the sections are brief and does not talk about each bee product of apitherapy. There could be more added to the history section to describe its uses.

Tone and Balance - The article seems biased to the fact that apitherapy has not been backed up by scientific evidence and that there are no real health benefits to using apitherapy.

Sources and References - There are few journal articles and some sources that are websites. I think that the list of sources could be more diverse.

Organization and Writing Quality - The organization of sections is clear and I do not see any obvious grammatical or spelling mistakes.

Images and Media - There is not many images and media.

Talk Page Discussion - The main discussion on this talk page is about the controversy of saying that apitherapy is not backed by scientific-based evidence even though some Wikipedia editors think that there are a lot of sources out there that prove that it is backed up by evidence.

Overall Impression - The article can be improved by having a lot more on each bee product and the history of using apitherapy. I also don't think that it should be completely disregarded as not backed up as there are review articles of scientific literature that says there are a lot of studies looking into apitherapy and I think I could present that information.
