This is where you will complete your article evaluation. Please use the template below to evaluate your selected article.


 * Name of article: TMPRSS2
 * Briefly describe why you have chosen this article to evaluate.
 * This article seems like it lacks greater detail. In addition, the section on COVID-19 is good, but could use some work. I believe I am able to improve this article.

Lead

 * Guiding questions


 * The article has a solid introductory sentence that gives a concise description of TMPRSS2.
 * The article lacks an introductory section; which is currently occupied by a section titled "Function". A more general overview of the article may be beneficial.
 * The introduction does not detail the articles major sections; and fails to adequately summarize the contents of the article.

Content

 * Guiding questions
 * The article content is relevant to the topic.
 * The article is up-to-date; as it features a section on the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2)
 * Some more specific content could be added to the section relating TMPRSS2 to coronaviruses

Tone and Balance

 * Guiding questions


 * The article is neutral in tone and does not assert any biases.

Sources and References

 * Guiding questions


 * One of the principal concerns with the article is the fact that most citations are primary sources; particularly in the coronavirus section. I would like to remove them and replace them with Review articles that contain the same information.

Organization

 * Guiding questions


 * The article is concise and easy to read.
 * There is a minor grammatical error in the coronavirus section with a run-on sentence.


 * The article is well organized; except for the lack of a clear introductory section.

Images and Media

 * Guiding questions


 * The article contains some figures showing the location of the gene in the human genome. In addition, there is a figure that provides information on the protein and its orthologs.
 * I believe I can add a helpful illustration of the role TMPRSS2 plays in coronaviruses.
 * A PDB of TMPRSS2 may also be beneficial to represent the structure of the protein.

Checking the talk page

 * Guiding questions


 * No content is present on the talk page.
 * The article is related to the Molecular and Cell Biology WikiProject and is rated as a start class article of low importance.

Overall impressions

 * Guiding questions


 * Overall I would say the article is still in need of revision, clarification, and elaboration.
 * The article provides a solid brief overview of the role TMPRSS2 plays in prostate cancer, however it is rather lacking in the coronavirus department.
 * This article could be improved by writing a concise introduction that covers the various subtopics included in the article.
 * A figure could also help tie the article together; I will see if I can contribute by making or finding a figure that represents TMPRSS2 in coronavirus infection.
