Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because aquaporins are water channel proteins which have been discussed as an important feature of biological cells in many of my classes. My first impression of the article was that there seemed to be a significant amount of content, and there were many detailed images to help understand the concept and structure of the aquaporin.

Evaluate the article
Lead Section: The lead section of this article is one long paragraph, and is not split up into multiple paragraph sections. The paragraph does not provide a brief overview, but rather goes into deeper detail because all of the information is condensed into one large paragraph. Although the lead does provide some information about the sections of the article, there is not much information about the history of aquaporins in the lead section.

Content: The structure and taxonomic distribution sections of this article are significantly longer than some of the other sections. The function section is one of the shorter sections, and lacks a deep level of detail about the mechanism of an aquaporin.

Tone and Balance: The article is written in a neutral tone and there does not appear to be any bias. The author is also not trying to persuade the reader in any way.

Sources and References: There is a wide range of sixty two references for this article. However, there seems to be a lack of information in the function section of this article, in which the author should provide more information about the mechanism of aquaporins, and use additional sources to provide this information. Most of the sources appear to be academic, peer-reviewed journals.

Organization and Writing Quality: There appears to be some grammatical errors in this article. There are a few run-on-sentences which could be condensed, or split into multiple sentences. The article is concise, and the sub-sections make the article more organized and easier to read the information. Most of the information provided in the article is also relevant to the topic.

Images and Media: There are multiple images throughout this article which provide different perspectives on aquaporins, thus maximizing the ways in which a reader can visually understand and learn about aquaporins. There are some images which focus on the actual structure of the aquaporins, while other images focus on the mechanism of their function.

Overall Impressions: This is a well written article overall. There are some sections which could go into greater detail, which would provide more relevant information to the reader. However, the images help the reader visualize aquaporins, and the information is overall relevant to the topic with few grammatical errors. The article appears well-developed, but the function section of this article could be expanded to provide more detail.
