Which article are you evaluating?
Assimilation (Phonology)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I have chosen to evaluate this article for two main reasons. One, I naturally find assimilation in phonology interesting and I look forward to making contributions to the topic in the near future. Two, it is evident from the article that there is more to be said about coalescence.

Evaluate the article
It was good to have mentioned the progressive and regressive assimilation types, but more examples for each of them is required. Equally significant was the author's reference to assimilation in sign language which involves neighboring cheremes. The author cites a renowned work on phonology, which possesses some scholarly significance. However, the information provided on coalescence is very scanty, even though more can be said on the topic with substantial examples. In fact, there is no concrete explanation of coalescence in the article, and the examples provided were not easy to understand and were not explicitly denoting coalescence. Hence, more information can be provided on coalescence with very good examples cross-linguistically.

Although images are not required in discussing coalescence and the article does not contain images explaining coalescence, images that illustrate the coalesce of two sounds in a word will be a great addition to this article because it will practically demonstrates how coalesce works, which would be good for the general public. Furthermore, the article appears to be too technical for most readers; therefore, simpler definitions and explanations are required on assimilation in general.

To this end, I have made some vital edits on the coalescence in the article.
