Evaluate the article
Evaluating Content:

The article contained information that was relevant to the topic, and when looking at the "view history" it had recent edits on it, showing that it was up to date. The article does not misrepresent marginalized populations as it discusses the class of amphibians, including all subclasses of an Amphibian, which shows how it does not leave out information that could be useful when discussing how many animals are considered amphibians. No improvements are needed, but possibly a picture to organize the amphibian class clearly, like a flow chart or a phylogeny. It then goes into history, expanding on how they came to be, the groups, the anatomy and physiology, reproduction life style, genetics, feeding etc. It goes into depth on majority of these concepts that pertain to the species. It could use more pictures to help display some of these features of amphibians but describes them in writing extensively.

Evaluating Tone:

The article is neutral throughout as the claims made are full of scientific information, instead of giving biased views it focuses on discussing the animal using scientific terms and concepts that are general to the public and were proved by scientists focused on these studies.

Evaluating Sources:

The links on the sources are indeed working, showing that citations are indeed taking place and credit is given to the sources used from other Wikipedia pages. The article contains references, and credit is given to each source used. The diversity of authors and publications is apparent as multiple citations are given, covering multiple articles and pages that contributed to the article.

Checking the Talk Page:

There are currently no conversations going on behind the scenes, as for now. The article is rated as a level 3 vital article and is said to be a featured article. It is rated FA-class, meaning it has been examined by reviewers, which thus determines whether it is reliable. We have not discussed this topic as I chose it for my career.
