Which article are you evaluating?
Testing cosmetics on animals

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this article because testing animals for cosmetics and torturing them is a very important topic to discuss in today's world. It matters because it is opposed by animal rights activists and others. Testing animals is banned from most of the world, but people still have access to testing them to sell their products. I also have a lot of background information on this topic that isn't in this article, mainly why I chose to evaluate this article.

I can improve this article by explaining which companies tests on animals for cosmetics and the downfall that a lot of companies faced with hurting animals. The article didn't specifically say which companies and why no one did anything about it.

Lead Section:

The lead section of the article talked about how the testing is used to test the safety and hypoallergenic properties of cosmetic products for use by humans. People have come together to end this harmful testing that is still done today. Although it is banned, companies will still continue to do it and not get anything for it.

The main content on this article is finding alternative ways to decrease the use of testing animals for cosmetics and killing innocent animals. The content displayed about the article has full descriptions about each category that is on the page.

organizing and witting quality:

Images and Media:

-there were only 4 images that were in the article, which is normal because this topic does require a lot of information that needs to be put on Wikipedia - The pictures weren't matches with the headings, they were all arranged on the sides

-The article is also within the scope of Wiki Project Animal rights

Overall impressions:

My overall impressions of the article is positive feedback. If there were more pictures of the animals being tested, I feel like that would grab more attention to readers. The article was well put together and organized and had good balance to it. This Wikipedia article has been one of the best articles about this topic that I have read.
