Chromatoid body

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.)

This article was chosen by me to edit because of the the following reasons:


 * 1) The topic is well researched with multiple current primary literature articles along with comprehensive review articles.
 * 2) The article does not elaborate and reflect the current scientific understanding of Chromatoid bodies.
 * 3) It requires supplemental information to evolve it into a well-rounded article.

Lead Section

The article is not long enough to effectively discern a lead section. The introduction is too concise and needs to be expanded, since it does not include information that should be involved, given current sources on the topic. Due to the lack of content, the entire article amounts to the lead section.

Content

The content is not enough to give enough of an idea in reference to the topic. It certainly does not seem to be up to date, and a lot of it is missing. There seem to be no discernable equity gaps.

Tone and Balance

There seems to be no discernable faults with the tone and balance of the few viewpoints within the article. There is an instance where the exact function of the Chromatoid body - a key point to be included in the article, is described as "not known", without any references to back up the statement.

Sources and References

The most current reference listed under this article is from the year 2009. The references are outdated and thus cannot reflect the current understanding of the topic. One of the references is a document entirely in German, which cannot be accessed by the majority of the readers due to a language barrier. The reference also does not have a date, although it seems quite old. The sources support most of the statements in the article, although the fact does not help the quality of the article. There are some unsupported statements.

Organization and Writing Quality

As mentioned before, the article is too concise. Although it does not have any grammatical mistakes, it is not elaborative enough to be organized into sections.

Images and Media

The article does not have any images or media attached to it.

Talk Page discussion

The article Talk Page does not have any ongoing conversations. The article has been declared as Stub-Class and Low importance as of June 6th, 2014.

Overall impressions

This article seems to be poorly developed and needs work.
