Article Evaluation

This is where you will complete your article evaluation. Please use the template below to evaluate your selected article.

• Name of article: Friedrich Daniel von Recklinghausen

• Is the article's content relevant to the topic? All information present is relevant to Recklinghausen.
• Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong? One of the sources cited lists 12 works in his written works, but only 8 are in the article. In addition, the article lists his medical discoveries, but not how he came to making the discoveries. More about his time at Würzburg could also be added, as well as elaborating on what his "important studies" on the heart and circulation were specifically about.

• Is the article neutral? The article maintains its neutrality throughout.
• Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? Information about his time as a professor are noticeably missing.

• Are all facts in the article backed up by a reliable secondary source of information? There are only two citations in the article, suggesting that more can be done to accurately cite the information.
• Check a few links. Do they work? The source links work but there are only three provided (though only two are referenced). More sources would drastically help improve the article.
• Is the article well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic? There are only three main sections to the article, and only two of them are paragraph sections. Adding a section about more of his research (like his "important studies" on the heart and circulation) can help improve the article.
• Are images well-captioned? The only image provided is not captioned.

• What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic? Only two conversations are present on the talk page, both by students in this course. Tranlsating sources into English and adding info about his time teaching are suggested.
• How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects? The article is rated Start-Class and a part of WikiProject Germany and Wikiproject Biography
• How can the article be improved? As previously stated, more English sources and citations, more about how he made his discoveries and what his studies about the heart and circulation detailed, and more about his time at Würzburg and Strassburg.
