Evaluate the drafted changes
Lead

-The lead has a good start but needs to be more specific in defining what scientific writing is. Try to find another source that captures a more thorough definition of and background of scientific writing. A strong source will add some credibility to the article.

Content

-I think that the headings used in the article are relevant and gives a great basis for going over scientific writing. ￼

-The content in the sections is not detailed and in depth enough.

-I feel that scientific writing is a large topic, especially in the history of scientific writing I feel that there is more that can be expressed.

-You could try to find some references that discuss the development of scientific writing over time, or try to find information about the origins of scientific writing.

-You should try to expand upon the scientific writing section, maybe try to find a source about how the scientific report was developed and why it is laid out how it is. ￼

Tone and Balance

-Can't tell, haven't really added anything

Sources and References

-All of the links that I checked are still live and are all from within the last few years or are a copy of an old book showing the history of scientific writing

-I also like the use of a see also section to help link other topics to this one.

Organization

-The original article is well organized, so when you add new parts consider keeping the format and writing to a similar style.

Images and media

-There are no images on the article so consider possibly adding some type of media.

Overall impressions

-You have not added much to the article, so it is a little hard to judge any additions that you have written as suggestions. I think that you can add plenty to the content of the article.
