Evaluate an article
Complete your article evaluation below. Here are the key aspects to consider: Lead sectionA good lead section defines the topic and provides a concise overview. A reader who just wants to identify the topic can read the first sentence. A reader who wants a very brief overview of the most important things about it can read the first paragraph. A reader who wants a quick overview can read the whole lead section.
ContentA good Wikipedia article should cover all the important aspects of a topic, without putting too much weight on one part while neglecting another.
Tone and BalanceWikipedia articles should be written from a neutral point of view; if there are substantial differences of interpretation or controversies among published, reliable sources, those views should be described as fairly as possible.
Sources and ReferencesA Wikipedia article should be based on the best sources available for the topic at hand. When possible, this means academic and peer-reviewed publications or scholarly books.
Organization and writing qualityThe writing should be clear and professional, the content should be organized sensibly into sections.
Images and Media
Talk page discussionThe article's talk page — and any discussions among other Wikipedia editors that have been taking place there — can be a useful window into the state of an article, and might help you focus on important aspects that you didn't think of.
Overall impressions

-The leading section describes what pharmatoxicology is and briefly describes two subcategories of pharmatoxicology as well. It has a contents portion at the top that will describe what will be covered within the article. The last time it was edited was May, 2020 so it is pretty current. Content is relevant to topic. The article is very neutral and does not persuade the reader in away about any sort of toxic drugs, as well as it is very factual based. Facts are all backed up by secondary sources, although they seem a tad bit outdated. Various different types of authors. The links do work, and article is very organized and easy to read due to headers. There are no images in this article . Article is rated as a start or mid, so it could use some work. The article can contain some images or contain different types of drugs. I think the article does a good job of describing the mechanisms very well as well it is clear and concise. I would say the article is a little underdeveloped
