This article was assigned to my class for evaluation. The article is on Brassica rapa, which we are studying in class. My preliminary impression was that the article is very bare and poorly written.

The lead section was very bare on the species and talked about other species more than the topic of the article. Most of the content in the article was not really on the subject as it should have been. There were also some conflicting sentences in the article. The tone of the article is neutral which is good. Most of the article doesn't have citations, or the citations are at the end of the paragraph which isn't helpful to the reader. The article is very bare and doesn't provide very much information at all. There are many pictures in the article, but for other plants and not the one the article is on. There are very few comments on the talk page for this article. One comment was on how the part of the article on canola is wrong, yet the article still has the wrong information. This article is not up to standards and definitely needs to be update.
