Which article are you evaluating?
Beta diversity - Wikipedia

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I am somewhat familiar with the topic and the article was brief. Beta diversity is an index that is important for understanding the species turnover or change in community composition across vary spatial scales. My impression of the article was that it was a little sparse but a rudimentary understanding could develop with the information present.

Evaluate the article
The lead section conveys most of the gist of the entire article but fails to describe the Diversity partitioning in the geologic past section and could be more concise instead of repeating most of what was said in the patterns section. The content is relevant and up to date but there are measures of beta diversity that have their own Wikipedia pages that are not listed under the types section. The article is neutral and balanced; it does not attempt to persuade. The sources are mostly recent as well as reliable. The links work, the articles are thorough and they written by a diverse spectrum of authors. The writing was informative and easy to follow with no grammatical errors, and it was as organized as it could be with the amount of information in the article. The article includes a graph with copyright regulations, but it is poorly captioned. This was a C-class article of mid importance; the conversation on the talk page was basically just a few suggestion on how to improve the page. The article's strength is that it has a pretty extensive repertoire of several of the indices used to measure beta diversity and how to calculate them which is what I assume most people are looking for on this Wikipedia article. The contribution of more information is really what this article needs given the amount of repetition on an article of less than 1000 words. The article's completeness and overall status is underdeveloped in my opinion.
