Which article are you evaluating?
Glycosidic bond

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 of its relevance to me as a chemistry major and its importance in carbohydrate chemistry where carbohydrates are the primary energy source among animals. My preliminary impression was that it gave the overall scope of what glycosidic bonds are quite thoroughly.

(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.)

The lead includes an introductory that very clearly and briefly describes the article's topic. The lead is concise and it includes a brief description of the article's major sections and the lead does not include any information that is not in the rest of the article. The article's content is relevant to the topic and it is up to date. The article is relatively short so there possibly could be information that is missing. The article does not deal with any one of Wikipedia's equity gaps. The article maintains a neutral tone and point of view and keeps it strictly informative and without bias. The facts in the article are backed up by thorough sources. However, most of the studies done on this topic took place between ten to thirty years ago with the most recent being from 6 years ago. The sources were written by all sorts of chemists in the field of bio-organic chemistry. There are a lot more recent sources available on this topic. The article includes sources that discuss one specific way to create these glycosidic bonds in the lab, but it does not a lot of the other methods. The links do work. The article is well written and well organized nonetheless with little to none spelling errors. The images the article employs are very useful is providing a visual representation of whats occurring in the mechanism, as well as the reactants and products of a glycosidic bond reaction and are all well captioned. The images' visual appeal is subjective considering they are diagrams of chemicals, but they do adhere to Wikipedia's copyright regulations. The conversations happening regarding this topic involve spelling and general fact checking. This article is within the scope of two WIkiprojects, for chemistry, and molecular and cell biology. The article is strong, it provides the basic in an easy accessible way, it cold be longer considering there is a lot more information available on this topic.
