Which article are you evaluating?
Stem-cell therapy - Wikipedia

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because there is interesting research around this topic. I want to evaluate this article to help me with picking an article for my project as it will provide valuable insight into what I should look for. My preliminary impression of this article was that it has very little variety in the information it provides, and it lacks updated research.

Evaluate the article
The lead section provides a concise and important overview of stem cell therapy. Content is missing from multiple sections of this article, not including all of the recent information about stem cell therapy. There are also sources that don't link to anywhere where pages are found. The random information about the European Medicines Agency recommending limbal stem cells makes little sense and has a source link that brings you to a "page not found."

This article was a part of a course assignment in 2022 and the talk page has not had any updates since 2012. The article could be more up to date on certain topics as some information is from old sources and there is new information that is missing about stem cell therapy advances and applications in certain diseases. The talk page has described many issues with the article, though the comments are many years old, and some have been fixed.

Some sections of the articles have long paragraphs with very little sources. Those sections could benefit from having more recent sources to back them up. As for images and media, the article is severely lacking. There are a total of two images in the article and they provide minimal information about the topic. Though, the article still provides important information about the medical applications of stem cell therapy and provides some history on certain topics.

The organization of the article could also be touched up. Some of the organization in the research section seems random and not well put together. It is also hard to follow. The article has some basic information, but it is underdeveloped for current times.
