Which article are you evaluating?
Human sexuality

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because this course is in developmental biology, which is closely linked to reproduction/sexual development. I am interested in going into the field of public health, focusing on sexual and reproductive health policy and education. This article on human sexuality seemed like it would be interesting and give me a bit more insight into the area of study.

Evaluate the article
The lead section gave a good overview and synopsis of what the article had to offer. This article covered many different topics and areas of human sexuality, including development, biology/physiology, psychology, sexuality & age, sociocultural aspects of sexuality, sexual behavior, and sexual religious morality. Each section featured subsections that went into greater detail surrounding specific areas of the topic at hand and how it related to human sexuality. Most of the content was up to date with sources from the past decade or so, though there were some references to work published in the 1980s, which may need to be assessed for reliability and accuracy. The article was organized in a way that made sense to me as the reader, and the headings for the different sections made it easy to navigate to information that may be more interesting/applicable for someone looking for a more specific topic in human sexuality. The tone was neutral and informative. There were not too many images or other media added to the article, but those present were relevant and captioned properly. The talk page did not have too much going on. Most of what was featured was students in other classes making minor edits. A section of text that came from another article was removed in January 2022. An edit was made surrounding abstinence-only education that made the article more specific. A suggested edit was made to make the topic of oxytocin release more simple and easier to understand. A redirect for cisgender sexuality was flagged as a potential problem and listed for discussion. Overall, not a ton was featured on this article's Talk page. As an article as a whole, I thought it was sufficient and provided a nice variety of information that seems to be backed up with reliable references.
