I have chose the platinum article to evaluate because it is the most looked after metal and is used for many objects in the world. My first preliminary impression of the article is that it's informative and well structured. The content of the article is relevant to the topic and has a lot of pictures to get the reader's attention.

The lead section of the platinum article is precise clear and describes the articles topic. The article gives the chemical information of platinum and a great discriptions of the backgroud of the element. Overall the content of the article is relevant to the topic and the content is up to date. There seems to be no missing information about the topic. The article is written in a neutral tone and there are no heavily biased claims or viewpoints that are overrepresented. I viewed few links of the article, all of them are working. All the facts are backed up with reliable sources, the sources are well organized and precise. The article is well developed with many sections outlying key aspects of the element. The article strengths appear to be in discussing the history and the elements aspects. The article could be improved by discussing more about where they are mined now and how much are taken from those mines.
