Lead evaluation

[edit]

The Lead really did a good job to give the readers an idea what's article about. It contains a introductory sentence of Auxarthron californiense. But there are some concepts elaborated below are not contained in the Lead. The Lead berifly introduces the distrubution and habitat of the fungus, but detailed information are not provided under the Habitat and ecology section. The Lead is concise and clear.

Content

[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • Is the content added relevant to the topic?
  • Is the content added up-to-date?
  • Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong?

Content evaluation

[edit]

This article introduces Auxarthron californiense in four aspects, and make the content abundent. It may be better if you adjust the heading of Growth and morphology to Growth, since you introduced the growth and reproduction of the fungus in detailed under this section. You also setted an Apperance part to describe the morphology, so this adjustment may make your structure more organized.

In addition, it would be great, if you add more information about the distrubution and ecology role of Auxarthron californiense to enrich the section of Habitat and ecology.

[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • Is the content added neutral?
  • Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?

  • Does the content added attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another?

  • Are the sources current?
  • Check a few links. Do they work?

Sources and references evaluation

[edit]

There are 7 references used to support the content in total, which is a little bit less than expected. You should add more reference to enrich the diverstiy of your article. Also, it would be better if you add the link for each reference you found and then the readers could access them more convenient to get the information they need. There exits some coding problem and thus the reference part is not well-organized.

  • Is the content added well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic?

Organization evaluation

[edit]

The content you add is concise and easy to understand, except the growth and morphology part misses the concept about morphology, others are great. Overall, the content are well- organized.

  • Does the article link to other articles so it is more discoverable?

New Article Evaluation

[edit]

The article is supported by serval reliable journal articles, the list of sources is very exhaustive, but more aspects of the fungi could be introduced, such as the physiology and pathogenicity etc. It has the common patterns of othe similar articles and images will be much helpful if you could find some.

Overall impressions

[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • Has the content added improved the overall quality of the article - i.e. Is the article more complete?

Overall evaluation

[edit]

Overall speaking, this article did very well to give readers a gerneral understanding of Auxarthron californiense from servel aspects. It provided a Lead part that give a brief idea about the topic but also could be improved to cover the key points you illustrate later in ther article. The specific content is divided into four parts which are History and taxonomy, Growth and morphology, Appearance and Habitat and ecology. The section of morphology and appearance could be adjusted to let the structure become more well-organized. More information may should be added to enrich the section habitat and ecology . The references used to support above content are reliable, yet more references could be used to enhance the diversity of the article.
