Article Evaluation

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclostomi

Information is relevant in the article. The article seems to be straightforward with minimal distractions (not an excessive amount of links and pictures). No biases observed regarding the topic - explains/describes the cyclostomi. Overall, the article has hit many points but our group feels as if it could have went more in depth for each topic. Links are all working. There could be a few more links on words that are more advanced. There could be more subsections within each section and more detail could be written about the topic. There could also be improved transitions from the heading to the body - "Internal differences and similarities." When talking about the canals, there seems to be missing a reference for that paragraph. References: not all are formatted correctly 17-28, 29. Some references (27) do not seem to be credible.

2/25 Looking over citations:

22: Published 2004. May be outdated

23: Published in 1998. The article cannot be viewed unless the reader has a subscription or makes a payment to access the article.

24: Published in 1922.

25: Published in 1992. Word for word plagiarism

    Possible Revision
    "The branchial basket is bound to the cranium in lampreys, whereas the hagfishes have a reduced branchial basket."

Article Evaluation

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiny_dogfish

The article's lead is decent. I think it could have more information about its phylogeny and maybe have another section devoted to that. It briefly went over it but there could definitely be more information on that subject. The explanation of how the species had gotten their name could be included in the lead as well.

There is repetition under "Description and Behavior" subsection regarding how the species reproduce sexually. It would be better to discard the first sentence that mentions how males use their clasper since the subsequent paragraph talks more about reproduction as well as the male clasper.

It would be extremely helpful for the readers to have a diagram of the different axes of the shark. Especially, with an emphasis of the two spines that they have on the anterior side of each dorsal fin. The images displayed show the teeth structure but no where in the description does it talk about teeth. As a revision, I can either remove the pictures or add a description regarding the teeth/jaw.

There seems to be a few missing references when talking about reproduction.

"Fin needles" under the "Commercial Use" section does not have an appropriate link as of right now. The image of the braised dog seems like an odd choice for the section?? Not sure what could be placed there as a substitute as of yet.

Looking at the article as a whole, there seems to be a lack of balance regarding the content. The information under "Conservation status and management" is helpful and informative. However, I think the "Description and Behavior" section should have more information and depth relative to the "Conservation status and management" section.

Articles I wish to revise for the semester

Holostei

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holostei
This article has potential in terms of re-organization of details, and the Holostei is related to the bowfin in which it is the clade that contains the Amia Calva (bowfins).
Systematics of Neopterygii section has a fairly short introduction on why there is a debate between the classification of the Holostei before it displays the 2 hypotheses. It also does not provide as much detail for why one is more supported than the other. As a revision, I can research reliable sources and input more relevant information regarding these hypotheses and add a more detailed introduction for this section.

Actinopteri

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actinopteri
This article has very limited information, and it is related to the bowfin and the Holostei as the Actinopteri is a bigger category that contains both groups. A possible suggestion would be to dive further into the classification section and to add a subsection regarding the general characteristics of the Actinoperi. There is also room for improvement in the references section. All of them do not seem to be in the apporpriate format and each must be checked to see if they are credible/relevant sources.

Spiny dogfish

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiny_dogfish
The article can be improved particularly in the relevancy of its information and the references portion; the bowfin and spiny dogfish are both in the phylum chordata.
I mentioned in my previous article evaluation for the spiny dogfish. The main portion I would want to fix would be the commercial use section due to plagiarism and how relevant the topic is.

Reproductive organs

I’m having some difficulty determing the relationship between the Holostei and Teleostei. Would I be able to make a comparison between them regarding the reproductive organs in the fish anatomy article? I wanted to present more information regarding the bowfin reproductive organ and add a picture of its clasper from lab. (This is also in my goals sheet)

Immune system

This section describes the immune systems of the Chonrdrostei and the Teleostei; however, it doesn't mention the Holostei. I am still currently trying to understand the relationship between these various groups. From there, I'll be able to distinguish their various immune system characteristics and talk about the evolutionary aspect regarding their immune system.
