Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I found it interesting -- although it isn't relevant to my course, ancient mythology is really cool and I'm excited to read about it.

Evaluate the article
The intro/"lead section" of the article seems well put-together. It touches briefly on all of the sections listed, but doesn't go into so much detail that it's overly complicated. Although I don't know a lot about Mesopotamian mythology, the content seems appropriate for the topic. The only comment I would make is that in the "Inhabitants" section, more attention is paid to Ereshkigal and her family than any of the other deities that live in the underworld. I understand that Ereshkigal was the queen of the underworld, but all deities should get equal treatment. The article seems to be well-balanced, not showing any strong or distracting bias. As far as I can tell, all of the sources are reliable... it may benefit from a few more, but in general it seems to have sources taken from either journals or encyclopedias (as well as some books), indicating that the sources are generally reliable. The article is well-organized, and the images included enhance the article. Perhaps I'm using it wrong, but the "Talk" page seems eerily empty. If I'm not doing anything wrong, this could indicate a lack of editing, meaning either a new article or one that isn't overly popular. The article seems well put-together, and as far as I can tell would only really benefit from a fleshing-out of the section mentioned above. That said, I'm not an expert on Mesopotamian myths, so perhaps there's something that I'm missing.
