Article Evaluation: Hydra (genus)

The lead section is short but a good, brief description of the organism. The amount of sources for the length of the article is good, however, each citation should be checked for its quality. The coverage is neutral with the only bias being the immortality, but the editor that added this statement does state that it is simply a claim and not a fact. The layout is organized with proper headings to describe each section. There is some balance however, I would that this is where the article can be improved. The Morphallaxis section only had one sentence and there is much more to be said about it. I edited this section to add: "Hydras have two significant structures on their body: the "head" and the "foot". When a Hydra is cut in half, each half will regenerate and form into a small Hydra; the "head" will regenerate a "foot" and the "foot" will regenerate a "head". If the Hydra is sliced into many segments then the middle slices will form both a "head" and a "foot"[11]." I believe the section still should go into more depth since this is a large part of what makes this organism so noteworthy --Mhedelund2017 (talk) 00:17, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
