Fact-checking student work
editHi Mossbeach. Welcome to Wikipedia. Unfortunately, the reason I'm here is that a few weeks ago, one of your students made some edits to the article on Breastfeeding that are entirely unsupported by the sources they cited: example 1, and example 2.
There are very few regular volunteers on women's health issues at Wikipedia and we don't have the energy to check everything. I just got around to it today and I'm horrified that this junk didn't get removed sooner. We need instructors to put their own processes into place to make sure that if students add misinformation to Wikipedia, it gets promptly detected and removed without adding to the burden of volunteers. I'd appreciate it if you could review your course's quality control processes. Best regards, Clayoquot (talk | contribs) 06:59, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
The article Natural Hospital Birth has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Unsourced book article. Large swaths of promotional content has been removed, leaving article as a stub. Topic fails relevant notability guidelines.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
