Pyrethrin

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
Pyrethrin was one of the chemicals that we learned about in our toxicology class. It is an insecticide that we focused on heavily and it is refreshing to see it described as we learned in class.

Evaluate the article
Everything in the article is specifically relevant to Pyrethrin and its activity. Nothing distracted the reader too much, and there were no long overdrawn portions overexplaining everything. No information is out of date and I do not see anything missing that could be added. No gaps were present in the knowledge in the article. The article did not misrepresent or underrepresent historically marginalized populations. What could be improved is word choice and the sentence structure of the first paragraph of the page. The article is neutral with no harsh stances on specific companies or products. The viewpoints are there for both sides of the isle: farmers and environmentalists. The citational links work and the sources do support the claims made in the article. Facts are referenced and the information seems to be coming from reliable sources. There was a diverse array of authors and publications. The kinds of conversations have specific changes given by other editors for a better overall article. "Because of their insecticide and insect repellent effect, pyrethrins have been very successful in reducing insect pest populations that affect humans, crops, livestock, and pets, such as ants, spiders, and lice, as well as potentially disease-carrying mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks." This part of the article is missing a citation. Reid Harley56 (talk) This explained a single missing citation.
