Etymology

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I am interested in the origin of language. I think it is important to understand the foundation and evolution of language as time has passed to observe the lack or effect of human social interaction on its evolution.

Evaluate the article
Lead Section: I think the opening is deliberate and good.

Content: I don't know how much of what is in this article is correct, but It helps to understand the concept of how the article should flow and look.

Tone and Balance: The tone of the article is even and non-biased.

Sources and References: Although there were only 11 sources/references, I felt it shows the article is well on its way to becoming a substantial article.

Organization and Writing Quality:

Images and Media: The article would be better if it had more than one graphic and incorporated some images that support the topic.

Talk page discussion: I thought the "talk" page was very interesting. There were many "conversations" about the validity of the articles content. I don't know how much editing was performed after the conversations took place, but it shows that the page has been reviewed by more than one person and that by all accounts is not 100% accurate.

Overall Impressions: I think there is a lot of work to be done with this article but it is also a great way to collaborate with others and expand the reach of knowledge on the subject/topic.
