Article title
Lacrosse
Article Evaluation
The entire history and rule page is great. The equipment portion is lacking as well as the tone being mediocre and just hard to read. Some more details on mandated rules and reasons why would be helpful, especially for people entering the sport.

Article title
Medical Anthropology
Article Evaluation
Citations are a mess. Grammar issues in places as well as the general content of the article being mediocre in places. I would argue for the inclusion of a section on how other sciences interact with it as it is the culmination of many sciences.

[edit]
Article title
Sports
Article Evaluation
The content of the article lacks citations. The content is mediocre in places and there are slight grammatical errors. Needs a revamp and more content in sportsmanship, cheating, and other minor categories. I would also argue for the addition of a common roles in sports section.

[edit]
Article title
Sports betting
Article Evaluation
There is generally a lack of content on the topic with very little citations as well as specifics. There are sections that could be combined and some that could just be eliminated overall or expanded. The overall flow of the article is good but it just needs more content.
