Alvinocarididae

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it is relevant to a possible article I could choose when I am looking to begin editing my first wikipedia page. This is content that I think could potentially be useful when I make my first edits to wikipedia. I want to make sure I am citing something that is reliable!

Evaluate the article
Lead Section:

- I think this lead section was very good because it provides a good overview of not just one specific species, but instead the Alvinocarididae family as a whole. It briefly touches on what is going to be talked about in the article and does not go into too much detail as to overwhelm right at the start.

Content:

- Overall I think the content of this article was very straight and to the point. They made a lot of points but they used other resources and their own data to back them up. All of the content appeared to be up to date.

Tone and Balance:

- The authors wrote in a way that allowed for readers to understand no matter how much experience they may have had reading scientific papers. They wrote in a way that asserted their authority and knowledge but was open to all levels of readers.

Sources and References:

- This paper had 5 sources cited at the end meaning there were not that many resources used. There is not too much content so it may still be sufficient for the content given but I would still like to see more.

Organization and Writing Quality:

- From what I could see there were no errors in the writing and everything made sense as to why It was placed where it was.

Images and Media:

- The pictures of the Alvinocarididae were very effective at helping me further understand the organisms at hand and develop knowledge that would guide me through the rest of the readings.

Talk Page Discussion:

- This talk page is virtually empty and there is nothing going on to comment about. It would be good if someone started a conversation on it.

Overall Impressions:

- I think this page is good but it would benefit from the addition of a lot more focused material and more resources to back claims up with.
