Alpha helix
Alpha helix

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I knew there would be a lot of good information as it is a commonly known secondary structure. This is also an important topic when discussing DNA molecules and thus important for research purposes.

Evaluate the article
Lead section:


 * The lead section was well done as the leading sentence provides enough information to define the alpha helix.
 * However, the lead doesn't set up the rest of the article including any details regarding the history of its discovery.

Content:


 * The article appears to be well-cited and up-to-date.
 * It doesn't serve any purpose to discuss equity gaps, and thus there are no discussions on these gaps.
 * The section on art appears to be a bit irrelevant as ones searching for definitions may not be searching for art but rather the science behind the structure.

Tone and Balance:


 * The tone appears to be relatively neutral as the article serves to discuss facts rather than an argument as some articles may aim to do.
 * the content does heavily incorporate discussions about the discovery of the structure. This makes sense as the discovery in science is often an important role in studying biochemistry. It ensures that the background behind this structure is understood.

Sources and References:


 * The sources appear to be well crafted. The links do work and lead to several articles from established journals, indicating they are well edited sources.

Organization and Writing Quality:


 * The article is well written, it involves sections that are well labeled. The text appears to have no grammatical errors.

Images and Media:


 * The images are very well done, one of the diagrams is an interactive diagram, one of them is a GIF that shows the full 3D molecule. The images are also placed in a visually pleasing manner.

Talk Page:


 * It has a B-class and is part of 2 wiki projects.
 * There are several critiques in regards to amounts and the discovery portion of the article.

Overall impressions: Overall, it was a well-developed article. I would say some portions of the article are unnecessary, such as the art sculptures.
