Which article are you evaluating?
Developmental biology - Wikipedia

Why have you chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it applies to our class in some sense. This is an important article because it explains what developmental biology is and why we need to study the development of other organisms to better understand human development. I was surprised that it wasn't until the section about animals that any reference to humans was mentioned, I would have thought in the very beginning with the definition of developmental biology there would have been a sentence about why it is that developmental biology was so important.

Evaluate the article
The lead section is simply a basic definition of developmental biology, with nothing about the sections that were covered throughout the article. Most of the content is out of date, being about a decade old or even older. There are also some gaps about why there is an importance to having model organisms (or referring to another Wiki article that explains why it is important to have model organisms). Overall, there seems to be a very neutral tone to this article, they simply state the facts without any bias. Other than the data or references being old, the links work and are represented correctly. As far as I could see, the article is well organized (other than needing additional sections to fill the gaps in information) and there are no spelling or grammatical errors that I saw.
