Article title
Evolution of fish
Article Evaluation
This was an interesting topic that i enjoyed while reading it. The article contents were relevant to the topic itself, which was written in a neutral ground. different types of fish were mentioned. I loved the fact that it talked about how it began from Cambrian explosion to the Silurian age. I was disappointed that some of their claims were not backed up with relevant source like for example on the article " fish may have evolved from an animal similar to a coral-like sea squirt (a tunicate), whose larvae resemble early fish in important ways. The first ancestors of fish may have kept the larval form into adulthood (as some sea squirts do today), although this path cannot be proven" which lacked back up source and some of the citations were not reliable because i was unable to access some of them. Another important aspect of this article was that it covered historical subject of fish. In general this was a good article and was rated a B-CLASS on the project quality scale.
I further looked for sources within 2years to back up how fish evolved.

Article title
Fish migration
Article Evaluation
A better explanation of the term migration should have been done to help the reader understand what fish migration was all about. Several ways fish migrate could have been mentioned although some of the article's content were relevant to the topic and was written in a neutral way.
several sections of the article needed citation like " Some fish such as tuna move to the north and south at different times of year following temperature gradients" which lacked back up source. I was disappointed to see that the article had no images to back up their facts, which also help enhance the understanding of the topic. The citations were reliable only had problem accessing two of the citations. In general the article was rated a C-CLASS on the project quality scale which shows it really need improvement.
I looked for relevant sources and cited the reference that could help improve the article.

Article title
Fish coloration
Article Evaluation
I was pleased to see some examples of fish coloration but could have also dealt with how this coloration affect territories. The article was neutrally written. Disappointed not to see enough images to help understand the topic. Huge sections of the article needed citations. claims were not back up. the few citations provided were not accessible which makes it unreliable. the article in general was rated C-CLASS. i looked for sources with 2-3years.
