 | Evaluate an article
Complete your article evaluation below. Here are the key aspects to consider: Lead sectionA good lead section defines the topic and provides a concise overview. A reader who just wants to identify the topic can read the first sentence. A reader who wants a very brief overview of the most important things about it can read the first paragraph. A reader who wants a quick overview can read the whole lead section.
ContentA good Wikipedia article should cover all the important aspects of a topic, without putting too much weight on one part while neglecting another.
Tone and BalanceWikipedia articles should be written from a neutral point of view; if there are substantial differences of interpretation or controversies among published, reliable sources, those views should be described as fairly as possible.
Sources and ReferencesA Wikipedia article should be based on the best sources available for the topic at hand. When possible, this means academic and peer-reviewed publications or scholarly books.
Organization and writing qualityThe writing should be clear and professional, the content should be organized sensibly into sections.
Images and Media
Talk page discussionThe article's talk page — and any discussions among other Wikipedia editors that have been taking place there — can be a useful window into the state of an article, and might help you focus on important aspects that you didn't think of.
Overall impressions
Examples of good feedbackA good article evaluation can take a number of forms. The most essential things are to clearly identify the biggest shortcomings, and provide specific guidance on how the article can be improved. |
/info/en/?search=Fitness_(biology)
I chose this article because I found a lot of interest in the way animals behave and how they are able to survive with the way their fitness was designed to fit its environment. So in this case I chose the article about what fitness is and how it contributes to everyday life in an animal life.
The introduction was very helpful to understand first the word of fitness with in itself and how to define it. The way they described how fitness is not only genetic by also to do with phenotypes really helps to explain that it is not just at the depth of the genes in the animals but also to do with the appearance of the animal. I like how it goes into detail about the modes of genetic level and then at the physical level using Darwinian knowledge to help bring it all with such a famous persons work.
Next we can see the transitions into not just explaining fitness at a surface level but instead goes deeper by explaining types of fitness including absolute and relative fitness and also explains a way of calculating the genotypic frequency of each type which really is nice and shows that this isn't just conceptional but also mathematically and able to construct a form of understanding a real life problem if one is to come.
There is a section that allows you to dig deeper into the history of the way fitness was brought about which is really cool. By bringing in all the contributions of all the scientists that helped us to completely understand and not only read a summary but gives links to the other readings to go more in depth in the subject. Not only does it give the history of fitness but also gives links to see as well of different aspects that fall around the word fitness like natural selection and reproductive success helps to take the information to another level and deeper than what you are just reading on that page.
The references are given in correct form but I am use to them being put in alphabetical order so that is the only thing catching my eye that is off about the references but other than that everything seems to be cited as it should and gives credit in the right places. The bibliography is given and nicely set up and really enjoyed how it all was placed together in a nice format and easy to read and understand for a reader.
