Which article are you evaluating?
Bamboo lemur

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
The bamboo lemur is a type of primate and in our course we are studying primates, specifically their behaviour, evolution, and conservation. From a first glance, this article doesn't seem to provide much information, therefore I wanted to evaluate if the links associated with it provide more information that is relevant to bamboo lemurs.

Evaluate the article
Lead section

This article lacks a description of the major sections and only informs the reader briefly about the name, location, and genus. It also uses much of this text to talk about the greater bamboo lemur that is no longer a part of the genus which can be mentioned after more information is provided about the bamboo lemur. Add a short introduction of the major sections before presenting them in full to briefly outline what the article will discuss and link to.

Content, Sources and References

The article's content heavily weighs on two references to inspire the content, therefore it would be necessary to include more references and cite them accordingly. The last comment made about content was in December 2014, therefore this article has not been active for a couple years. There may be more updated references that one can include to strengthen the content and add to the article. Additionally, there is no explanation regarding the bamboo lemur's endangered / vulnerable status, which can be beneficial to getting some insight as to why the conservation status is linked in the article. It may also be beneficial to add a section about Conservation and provide some examples of how the bamboo lemur is currently being protected.

Images and Media

Under the description section, there is only one image used to identify the lemur and it is in black and white. It would be recommended to add a recent coloured image to match the description of the lemur's physical attributes. It can also be beneficial to find an image of a lemur eating bamboo in their habitat(s).
