Which article are you evaluating?
Antipain

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

- I chose this article because the title was intriguing. It's interesting because anti-pain is true to it's name- anti-pain analogs can be used in treatment of diseases such as cancer to control pain by inhibiting the release of specific neurotransmitters.

Evaluate the article
(Compose a detailed evaluation of the article here, considering each of the key aspects listed above. Consider the guiding questions, and check out the examples of what a useful Wikipedia article evaluation looks like.)

Lead section

- The lead has an introductory sentence that describes what the article is about and gives background information on what anti-pain is and when it was discovered. However, the lead doesn't contain a brief description of the major sections present in the article, the paragraph's are a bit choppy and jump from topic to topic without addressing the connection between the topics. The lead section also contains information on ram semen that's not present in the article.

Content and Tone

- The article's content is relevant to the topic and is relatively up to date. The tone is also neutral and the information in the article is balanced, there's facts about a variety of uses of anti-pain.

Sources and references

- Some references are very old, ranging all the way back to the 1970's. There are also some links that don't lead to any articles but majority of the links work.

Organization and Writing Quality

- The article is concise but I wouldn't say it's easy to read for the general public. The paragraphs jump from topic to topic and I think it could have more connecting sentences and be organized differently so that it's easier to understand. However, there are clear and divided sections that makes it easy to follow the article.

Images and Media

- There are no images in the article. Including images would have been helpful for viewers to visualize the different uses of antipain and understand the mechanisms by which it works.

Talk page

- There aren't many conversations in the talk page. The article was apparently part of a course assignment and was edited by students!
