Article Evaluation - (Cleaner fish)
- Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?
- Everything in this article seemed to be relevant to the main topic. It contains a good mixture between text and images.
- Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
- Yes, the article was neutral. The information that was presented is all factual, with little bias. There was a sentence that started with "the best known cleaner fish", which could be considered biased, unless there was a study done that proved that the "cleaner wrasses" is the best known cleaner fish.

- Yes, I tested most of the links and they all seem to be working. Yes the information in the links do support what the article is discussing.
- Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?
- Yes, the facts are all backed up with a reference. Some of the references are links to other Wikipedia pages, but eventually refer to some journal or other reliable source.
- Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?
- I cannot comment on whether the information is out of date or not. There might have been some new discoveries since the last major update of the page in 2007. I think the article could go into more detail about what makes these fish special.
- Check out the Talk page of the article. What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?
