Which article are you evaluating?
(Saponification - Wikipedia)

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 chose this article because I'm interested in how soap is made: its processes, ingredients, and chemistry. I have sensitive skin and I have a lot of allergic reactions to certain products. Being a chemistry major really opened up my eyes to see what companies are putting in ordinary things that cause irritations, hives or itchiness to its users. This article was okay but after doing further research it a underdeveloped.

Evaluate the article
The lead includes an introductory sentence that I can understand but the average person would not. The statement isn't very clear, its brief.

The content of the article is relevant but it is not up to date. A lot of important information is missing, when trying to catch the eye of a reader that is interested in conducting saponification process. When people look up saponification they want details on the sap. # because they are typically interested in examples, measurements and the process of soap and those gaps are missing. The viewpoints were underrepresented, this article should include soap recipes, or oil, herbs, experiments and tutorial videos.

The sources aren't reliable, some of them didn't work.

The visual images laid out weren't enough and it could have been more appealing.
