Which article are you evaluating?
History of hospitals - Wikipedia

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because firstly, it was a C class article and secondly I was curious about what a "hospital" was. For example, the idea of hospitals has always been around if you consider someone nursing people in their own home a hospital itself. Now, I'm learning that there is a definition of what a hospital is.

Evaluate the article
The lead section is a good size and provides a great introduction to the rest of the article. It provides a good general summary of when hospitals came about and what a hospital is.

As far as the content goes there is a suitable amount of information and it is also broken into good topics. The article goes through the centuries and then within those centuries it is broken down into countries and provides information on each unique region. This provides a steady process of reading and doesn't confuse the readers as to what is being displayed.

Looking through the talk page I found a comment about citation. In the lead section and in the following section on Antiquity there are a few words that were labeled as "citation needed". This seems to be an occurring theme throughout the talk page as people notice and believe that there should be more citations. This is definitely something that needs to be improved.

Other than citations and checking some information here and there the article is overall strong and presents solid information. It was rated High-Importance within the scope of Wiki Project Hospitals and does a good job.
