Article Evaluation edit
Rett Syndrome: edit
1. Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you? I believe that all the information in the article is relevant to the topic. I was distracted by the organization and formatting of the article, I believe this could be improved.
2. Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? I think the article is neutral as it is not a topic where bias is a problem.
3. Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? Diagnosis and Treatment sections are lacking and not organized well. Cause section is written in great detail, but not necessarily clear.
4. Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article? As far as I can tell.
5. 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? I think that there are facts that do not have references assigned to them. References for the most part are coming from primary sources.
6. Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added? Treatment and Diagnosis could be added to and the whole page could be reformatted and simplified.
7. 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? Many people are saying the page requires an overhaul due to formatting, spelling, and out of date information.
8. How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects? This page is a part of Medicine (B-Class), and Autism (B-Class). Both projects state this page is mid-importance.
9. How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class? We have not addressed this topic in class yet.
