Evaluate the article

The article has a clear concise opening that describes what Rajiformes are and why they are named such. It does not include a description of all the articles sections, but it has an overview of the article at a whole. The content overall is very informative. It is missing a few citations, but some of the areas where citation are missing could also be considered common knowledge. For example it mentions that the eggs are called a "mermaid purse" which is common knowledge for people who live in an area where it is common. It still includes a wide variety of sources at the bottom though that seem reputable. The article is neutral and holds a scientific tone. Overall the article seems well done besides a few assumptions or wording that leads to assumption. The article is not up to date though because there is new research disproving some points in the article. The article is fair and good for basic information, but not a good source for a research project.
