Article Evaluation

Is the article's content relevant to the topic? Yes, the article's content is relevant to the topic, but it does not have a lot of information. Is it written neutrally? Yes, it is written neutrally. Does each claim have a citation? Yes, but one of the sources is self-published. Are the citations reliable? Yes, most of the citations are from Harvard University or other Universities. Does the article tackle one of Wikipedia's equity gaps (coverage of historically underrepresented or misrepresented populations or subjects)? I would say that this specific plant is a less-spoken of subject, so it would be good to add more information about it.

Is the article's content relevant to the topic? Yes, the article's content is relevant to the topic, but it needs a lot of work (not a lot of information present). Is it written neutrally? Yes, it is written neutrally. Does each claim have a citation? No, and there are not a lot of citations. Are the citations reliable? I am unsure, as the citation is in another language. Does the article tackle one of Wikipedia's equity gaps (coverage of historically underrepresented or misrepresented populations or subjects)? Yes, this plant is underrepresented although it has really interesting features.

Is the article's content relevant to the topic? Yes, the content is relevant, but the article has a 'C' rating, which means it can be improved. Is it written neutrally? Yes, it is written neutrally. Does each claim have a citation? Yes, there are a ton of sources (more sources than actual information). Are the citations reliable? Most of them seem to be alright. A few are from encyclopedias and Chinese medicinal books. I believe a few sources from educational websites will be good for this article. Does the article tackle one of Wikipedia's equity gaps (coverage of historically underrepresented or misrepresented populations or subjects)? Most of the Earth is plant life, and there is definitely not enough coverage of all of the plants on Earth, so yes.
