Which article are you evaluating?
Antiphospholipid syndrome

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 it because I am interested in being a rheumatologist and thought this may be an interesting opportunity to increase my knowledge about a topic I find interesting.

This topic matters because it carries risk of morbidity and mortality and people with certain rheumatologic illnesses are more at risk to have this, like lupus.

My preliminary impression that it had a lot of information with a good amount of headers. Some sections were more filled out than other and I was uncertain how accurate all the information was.

Evaluate the article
Overall there is a good amount of information; however, I think it uses a lot of jargon and is written more for those with medical degree to understand compared to a lay person. It is underdeveloped in the sense that it has many sentences marked with "citation needed" (17 need citations)

-Lead section: has good flow and organization but I think a few more details could be added and removed to summarize it better

-Treatment section: this could be expanded upon and updated. There is new research out there and while I have not read the articles yet, I am curious if it changes or supports what is written.

-Prognosis is only one section and does not mention pregnancy. I think that since this disease affects pregnancy, which this article also mentions, it should talk about prognosis for pregnancy given this disease there.

-Talk page: It has much discussion and some articles but those are old suggestions although its unclear if it was added or changed. Article is rated a c-class and mid-importance by physiology and medicine but low importance in terms of women's health.

-Grammar and organization: organized well and no grammar errors I found on first glance.

-Sources: there is more recent literature that could be added to update the page, especially under treatments.
