Lead:
There is no lead for the article, but I am just assuming that you haven't gotten around to it.
Content:
The content in this article seems good and relevant to the overall topic. I think to make it more clear you could start of the paragraph by saying "plague is thought by Rascovan et al to be a cause in the decline of population" just to make it a little less confusing right out of the gate. I would also maybe even say who this person is and why they are relevant to what you are discussing. The content does seem up to date, and it didn't seem like anything was missing from what you do have.
Tone and balance:
The tone is neutral in this article. There is no wording that seems like it is trying to persuade me, and it seems like it is all facts.
Sources and references:
The content is all backed up with references, and there is a big long reference page. I clicked on a few of the references and they seemed to match the information that they were supposed to be backing up. The sources do seem current, and there are a lot of them so you got many views for this information.
Organization:
From what is done so far, it is organized well and in sections. I can't tell much because there is only one section, but if it continued to be kept up then the article will be very well organized.
Overall:
The information is good so far. It seems very scientific and facts based, but I think that is good considering the topic you have.
