Which article are you evaluating?
Antibacterial soap

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose Antibacterial soap, because it is something that has always interested me. Antibiotic resistance is become a major issue and it would be interesting to see if soap made a large impact on that. My first impression is that the article is tiny. It has a small amount of paragraphs and an even smaller list of references.

Evaluate the article
The lead section seems small and missing some elements. I believe it is missing a discussion of the articles sections. The content seems to be up to date. However, it seems to be missing factual evidence. It generalizes by using, "studies say" without including a citation to the actual studies. The article seems to be neutral. It feels balanced with both sides of argument. It seems that the sources and references section is severely lacking. The sources include information from magazines, which are poor sources to use. Only a few of the sources are from peer reviewed studies. The links are in working order. It feels like the article is broken up into appropriate sections. The grammar and writing style seems to be appropriate. The picture well captioned, and is laid out in an appealing way. The talk page hasn't been updated since around 2015. The discussion seemed to be centered on what should actually be on the page. The article is C status. The strengths of the article are its conciseness, which is also a way it needs to be improved. It needs to be concise but have better citations. I think the article is also underdeveloped. It needs to be cleaned up and added to.
