Bacterial Circadian Rhythms
To start with the critique of this Wikipedia article I would like to highlight the importance of an objective publication. While reading this article, I have found many opinions and assumptions made by the writer. One example could be found in the section "History", in which a subjective statement is included in the first paragraph (“The conclusion… seemed reasonable”). Furthermore, the text doesn´t fit Wikipedia´s writing style as there is a title ("History" section) and a paragraph ("Adaptative significance" section) including a question.

When referencing the facts, unnamed sources of information can be found in the article. Some clear examples are shown in the "History" (“the data from cyanobacteria suggest…”) and in the "Adaptive significance" (“there have been few rigorous tests…”) sections. Furthermore, there aren´t hyperlinks attached to the citations and I have found one reference that are from an article which isn´t in public domain (first reference). Moreover, it is common to see many references at the end of one phrase making it more difficult to know the exact information referred. However, we can find that most of the references come from reliable sources such as PubMed articles.

Talking about the content of the article, I have noticed that there is not a balanced coverage of the topics as the section "History" is too long and includes irrelevant facts whereas other viewpoints such as the mechanism of the circadian rhythm system or its regulation aren´t enough expanded. Moreover, I have found some recent articles that can update the information showed and contribute to expand the content, especially of "Molecular mechanism" section.
