Article evaluation
The article I am choosing to evaluate is Ring-opening Polymerization. This article has a very strong section on the mechanism of this polymerization technique, including cationic, anionic, radical, and ring opening metathesis methods. They show example mechanisms for each and explain the initiation, propagation, and termination briefly for each type. I think work needs to be done in expanding the very brief history section, and I think a section addressing more specifically what polymers are made with this mechanism and if there are any specific properties that many or all polymers made this way possess. Possibly something about viscosity or "rubberiness" or even just appearance. The section on thermodynamics seems very general, and there is nothing specific to ring-opening polymerization in the section relative to any other kind of polymerization. I would like to see a section on the kinetics of these reactions, a section on reactivity, and a section addressing the steriochemistry.

Nothing in the article appeared heavily bias. The citations appear to be from legitimate sources and the links work. Many of the sources used are textbooks and academic publications. This article is rated as a C class of Mid-importance by the wiki project chemistry. It is also within the scope of the Wikiproject polymers. There has been very little activity in the talk page, but only small suggestions have been made. A user questioned one of the see also additions, and another user suggested removing a sentence they believed was factually incorrect.

I think this article addresses ring-opening polymerization in a logical way, and that this is a well written article. I think its rating of a C is because it lacks some information.
