Which article are you evaluating?
San Francisco Garter Snake.

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I have chosen this article because I am fascinated by California state herpetology. I think it is so cool how they are only found in California and are so rare and special to see. I also found quite a few scholarly sources that gave me a lot of information on the topic.

Evaluate the article
The lead paragraph is general and give the basic, important overall details of the species. There is a clear introductory sentence that reveals it as a subspecies of the common garter snake. The lead also outlines the contents of the article, and does not include information that is not present in the article. I think this lead gives a good amount of detail and reserves it to just overall information that someone might care about. I think the content is up to date with latest research, and is relevant. The article tone remains neutral throughout, and facts are checked with a reliable source that is cited in the references tab. I think the article is concise and has a logical sense of organization, but could include some more specific details. Overall, the article is of C status and there is a good start, but plenty of places to improve upon.
