I am an aspiring biochemist and that is what Marie Maynard Daly was professionally. I was impressed with her accomplishments in the field especially how she was the first African-American woman in the US to receive a PhD in chemistry.

Evaluate the article
Lead section: The lead section is okay. It has some detail about Marie's life and accomplishments. An overview of her early life and education are included.

Content: There is not enough weight in the section on Creatine compared to other sections. Overall, the content is relevant to the topic but it does seem like there is some information missing or what is included may be expanded.

Tone and balance: I do not detect any form of bias in this article. There is a neutral tone throughout and the information is presented well.

Sources and references: There are 37 references listed and most are from peer-reviewed journals. There is one link that I attempted to visit that no longer exists. Only a few of the reference links provided are open access and the rest must be accessed through an institution or by paying a subscription fee.

Organization and writing quality: The three sections of content specifically about Marie are written in a concise manner. They are well written but I see room for expansion.

Images and media: There are not enough images provided. There is only one and it is a black and white image of Marie. It may be useful to include images depicting chemistry, her area of expertise.

Talk page discussion: This article is rated as C-Class. This article is within the scope of WikiProject Biography, a collaborative effort to create, develop and organize Wikipedia's articles about people. The article is also within the scope of the WikiProject Women scientists, a collaborative effort improving the coverage of women in science.

Overall impression: The article does a great job at reporting on the professional aspects of Marie's life. There is room for expansion on her early life and the section on creatine is very short and vague. Overall, this article is underdeveloped.
