Hey how are you
Article Evaluation:
Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you? Everything in the article is relative to the topic however there are some things that are distracting from the topic. For example the section about pop culture interesting but it's not really relevant to explaining the disease.
Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? The article is neutral.
Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? I think the scientific view point is underrepresented in this article.
Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article? All the links to the citations worked. The source doesn't really make specific claims about the topic. I found that the sources used in the article gave me more information about sleep sex than the actual article did because the articles main focus was what TV shows sleep sex had been mentioned in.
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? Each fact is referenced with an appropriate source. The information comes form reliable sources and there they are all neutral with no bias towards anything.
Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added? Most of the sources are all from like 1997 or early 2000's. There is only one article that is from 2016. With that being said, I would say that the information is out of date. There is a lot of information missing in this article. For example I thought this article was going to be set up like a WebMD article where it had what the condition was, how you get the condition or what causes the condition, and treatment plans for the condition but it had none of that. It did state what the condition was but it really didn't go into much detail about it.
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? How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects? The conversation going on about it are people basically asking if this is a real disorder or if someone just made it up for a wiki page followed with a lot of people including links to sources about how it is real and also giving personal stories about how they suffer from the condition. There is some talk on how this topic should be better represented with more facts and information. This article is apart of three wiki projects: WikiProject Psychology, WikiProject Medicine/Neurology/Pathology, and WikiProject Sexuality. All of these projects are rated start class mid importance.
How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about similar topics in class? When we talk about disorders or diseases in class we go into a lot of detail about how they work and how they affect a person and what kind of things can be done to help someone with a condition and what kind of research is done on it, however with this article it doesn't include any of this information and is very surface level with the disorder at hand.
Alex Mitchell and I will be working on the article Sleep Sex. Sleep Sex is a condition in which a person performs sexual acts while in a deep sleep. This focuses on biology as well as neuroscience and behavioral science. The disorder will be defined and symptoms, treatment plans, case studies, research, legal repercussions and many more will be talked about.
