Which article are you evaluating?
Human germline engineering

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article to evaluate because it is a topic that sounded interesting to me. Germline engineering can be a very controversial subject, so it a good subject to come back and think about once and a while. It seems like a good article, but there are a few sections that need to be rewritten or summarized.

Evaluate the article
The lead section contains a good starting definition of germline engineering and does a good job of summarizing most of the main points of the article. However, it could be a little bit longer to adequately cover all of the points made in the main part of the article. The content is relatively up-to-date, and most of it goes in-depth to describe some of the experiments done with germline engineering, as well as current debates and policies. I believe that the article is written in a neutral tone. The "ethical and moral debates" section is flagged for review of neutrality, but to me, the content is very general. There are almost 60 sources, and after checking them, I can confirm that the links work and that they are relevant to the topic. There were a few grammar mistakes throughout the article, but I thought that the article overall was organized in a way that would be easy for a person to read. There weren't any images directly in the article, but there were quite a few hyperlinks that would bring you to other Wikipedia sources that did have images. To make it more visually appealing to the reader, I would suggest finding at least a few relevant photos to put in the article. In the talk page, most discussions are about how to make the article more detailed, or how to fix grammar mistakes. There also seems to be a substantial amount of discussion about designer babies. The article is rated C-class and is a part of two WikiProjects: Molecular Biology: MCB, and Transhumanism. Overall, I think the article gives readers a good in-depth view of germline engineering. Some editing could be done to make it more concise, but it isn't a huge problem.
