Article Evaluation
The article I chose to critique was on the subject of Vaccination. This subject has always peaked my interest, and especially with the recent media coverage of the Measles outbreaks in California. The article was well constructed, but I felt that some portions of the article were more expanded on than others. However, the parts that I feel that weren't expansive enough provided many citations and references. This article provides the readers a neutral perspective, and expands on the controversy behind vaccinations them self. What I found the most interesting though was the variations of vaccines and how they are administered. The article has many contributors and has been edited extensively.

Medical articles
When editing articles related about medical-related topics, please bear in mind is that the standards for citations for these is higher than the general standard for sources in Wikipedia articles. Focus more on review articles and less on the latest discoveries. Findings like these are very difficult for a non-expert to put in the proper context without synthesizing a whole body of research literature. While we encourage the use of secondary and tertiary sources in general, this is especially important in medical-related topics. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 22:49, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
