Lead evaluation

[edit]

It has been updated, but it is lengthy with a paragraph beneath the introductory sentence. Perhaps this should be moved into its own new section? It is well written and introduces the topic though.

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

Content evaluation

The content is relevant and accurate, albeit rather brief. Perhaps there could be more details regarding the septum's function and formation.

Guiding questions:

  • Is the content added neutral?
  • Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
  • Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?

There is no persuasion and total fact-based neutrality in this article.

Since the article is rather short, there are only a few sources. However, they seem reliable and relevant.

It is clear and easy to read with little to no errors. However, there could be better flow of organization between the paragraphs, perhaps adding new sections.

The additions have indeed improved the article, as it was extremely bare-bones. It would be wonderful to see further contributions to this page and more details about formation and perhaps conditions related to malfunction or malformation.
