Self-gravitation

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
Needed to review an article for a class assignment, I'm an aspiring astrophysicist and gravity is closely related to my research. The article seemed pretty detailed and well-sourced, albeit short for a topic of this nature.

Evaluate the article
Content and information in the first paragraph is useful, but is not very much expanded in later sections. Author keeps mentioning the "importance" of self-gravity as a research topic, which is a persuasive argument that doesn't belong in a Wikipedia article. Additionally, the sentence structure of the article draws on too long without providing concrete or useful evidence or information, but rather repeats earlier claims without much explanation or new context. The article hasn't been changed in over seven years, so it's likely that the author hasn't updated or reviewed the article for new information or editing. Also, many of the papers cited as sources are decades old, with some dating back over 100 years and nothing more recent than 2007.
