Which article are you evaluating?
Vacuum aspiration

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I am going into obstetrics and gynecology, and this procedure is commonly performed by OB/Gyn's. There is a lot of misconceptions about this procedure and about abortion care in general, so I feel passionate about dispelling that and providing solid information for people to have access to.

Evaluate the article
I think the lead section does a decent job of introducing the topic, but I think it could do a better job of detailing and emphasizing the safety of the procedure and providing resources for that. I also think that the mention of D&E and D&C should be brought up later in the article.

I think the overall content of the article is good, but there are some sections that have more information and some that have less. The complications section is again one that could use some more information for the readers clarity. The article and complications specifically do not address URM's and specifically WOC in the statistics, which we do know is associated with increased M&M in nearly all gynecologic procedures.

The article does a very good job of remaining neutral and factual especially seeing as this topic is very emotionally, politically, and religiously charged. I hope to be able to maintain this great neutrality in my edits as well.

Most of the information in the article has good sources to back it up. Many of them are quite old and could definitely use some updating. Additionally, there are some parts of the article as mentioned above that do not have resources listed. I think this would be a great opportunity for improvement.

The article is well written and free of grammatical and spelling errors on first evaluation. It flows relatively well, although I think there is opportunity to add in a few other sections as well. It is concise and easy to read.

The 2 images and media do a wonderful job of complementing the article by showing the tools used as well as the way the procedure itself is performed.

Overall I think this article is a good foundation for creating very helpful content about vacuum aspiration. It provides good, although dated resources. It is not too lengthy or wordy, and easy to read. There is a good flow to the article, but I think there is some room for improvement in adding a few other helpful sections.
