Percy Lavon Julian

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose it because I wanted to look at an article about a chemist who was under cut in their field.

Evaluate the article
The lead is just detailed enough, it doesn't mention things that aren't in the article and it introduces the major parts of the article. The content is pretty extensive as well, although the section about his family and early life is pretty sort, I assume not much more detail could be found on that. It talks very in depth about his education then career, which is typically why people would be looking him up so that makes sense, and it includes a lot. To me, I didn't get any biased tone from the article, it felt very matter of fact and just telling me information. It makes sure to identify what was truly his invention and idea and what inspired others, which is a very important distinction. There are lots of citations throughout the article, leading the reader to believe the author was careful to cite all information. There are also 70 citiations for a fairly short article, leading me to believe that as well. The sources look pretty reliable, I'd have to do further investigating though to be sure. One thing is that there were a few citation needed spots according to the talk page, therefore the author or whoever needs to go back and fix that. Overall I liked this article and thought it was well done. The articles status is a B, so obviously it can improve but if you need information on Percy Julian, this page does the job.
