Which article are you evaluating?
Desert pupfish

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I have chosen this article to evaluate because I am generally interested in fish and thought that pupfish are really cool. I have always enjoyed having fish and owning aquariums. In high school, I had 3 fish tanks at one point, fully stocked with various species and plants. One of my tanks was a freshwater shrimp tank with CO2 diffusion for better plant growth. I chose the desert pupfish because it is considered a threatened species, and I was interested in learning more about it.

Evaluate the article
The article is relevant to the article topic. I think it is a good idea that the photo of the desert pupfish includes both a male and a female because the two look visually different from one another. I think the management factors could be updated more, as there are more relevant articles accounting for the current threatened status and how the species population has declined even more since its last update on Wikipedia. I think some improvements could be on overall conciseness and flow of sentences. In general, everything is stated in a very straightforward manner, but I think some things are repeated and reused. For example, a lot of the claims on the desert pupfish's physical characteristics are stated twice, once in the introduction and again in the Description section. I believe it is okay to restate, but the description section should have more details and more specificity than the introduction. Yes, the article is neutral. The citations do work and the links do work.
