User:Nanomaterials21/Evaluate an Article

Which article are you evaluating?
Macromolecule

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
This article was one of two choices provided. It was chosen over 'polymer' because macromolecule is a word that seems to have different defitions depending on the context in which they are discussed. For this same reason, it is important to have a strong, well-balanced article outlining what a macromolecule is. My preliminary impression was that the article appears short.

Evaluation
The lead section does not effectively introduce the topic. It makes reference to polymers which begs the question whether or not 'macromolecule' and 'polymer' should be distinct articles or combined into a single article. The article could be improved in several ways including: incorporating additional sections on synthetic polymers as the article gives a majority of focus to natural macromolecules. There is a clear need for more references and additional figures could be added. A more extensive history on macromolecules could be added. Additionally, the writing could be improved by being more concise and linking to topics rather than trying to define them within the article. ~Nanomaterials21
