Article Evaluation
For my article evaluation I was looking at the Lilac-crowned amazon. The article itself was in my opinion, neutral, not distracting and unbiased. The citations that I checked seemed reliable and were up to date. However, each fact was not referenced with an appropriate source. The one that stood out to me was the individuals that were spotted in Texas. Even though this claim makes sense (the cited populations in California were escaped pets) there is no relevant sources to support this. As of now, this article is not rated and is part of the Birds WikiProject. There is currently no conversation going on in this article. I believe this article is quite short. For example, there is no section that has an example of the call for this species. There is also no section giving the average measurements of the males and females of this species.

Potential Articles to Edit
Lilac-crowned amazon Yellow tit
 * As mentioned above we could add a link to its call
 * We could go more in depth on its geographical range in Mexico
 * We could go in more depth with the morphological features of this species (size, bill length, etc.)
 * Could include clutch size and incubation period for eggs
 * Could add a call for the bird
 * We could add more information about the geographic range

Final Choice of Article
After debate, Lizzie Hansel and I have decided to edit the Lilac-crowned amazon article together.

What we plan to edit
Due to the bareness of this article there is much that we can add. We can add both a more in depth description of its native geographic range in Mexico, along with the new located in southern California. I believe we also can comment on how well the population is doing in California as opposed to Mexico. I hope to add the call for this species that is currently absent from this article. Since the size mentioned in the article is vague (medium size) we hope to add more exact measurements for this species. We also hope to add: average clutch size, average brood size, incubation period, and mortality rate of fledglings.
