User:Man I love frogs/Choose an Article

Article Selection

Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

• Is the article's content relevant to the topic?
• Is it written neutrally?
• Does each claim have a citation?
• Are the citations reliable?
• Does the article tackle one of Wikipedia's equity gaps (coverage of historically underrepresented or misrepresented populations or subjects)?

Option 1

WikiProject Social Work | Stub-Class; Mid-importance

Article title: Professional abuse

Article Evaluation

The content in the article is relevant to the topic. It's written without bias and the order of information flows nicely.

Claims look like they have a corresponding citation. For the most part, the citations are reliable and have accurate active links.

• The reliability of Reference 1 is questionable.
• The URL in Reference 3 does not link to an article, it links to a "Guide to support options for abuse".

The article currently does not include information on equity gaps. However, I think the article would benefit from adding some. For example, how race/gender/class can impact one's susceptibility to professional abuse and one's access to resources in taking action against it.

In progress.

Option 2

WikiProject Medicine | Stub-Class article; Mid-importance

Article title: Medical desert

Article Evaluation

The content in the article is relevant and neutrally-written.

Claims in the article are consistently supported by citations. These citations appear to be reliable and have accurate active links.

The article does include information equity gaps. The main population it concentrates on is rural patients that are either uninsured or rely on government assisted health insurance. However, it also includes information on racial health disparities, specifically among Black and Indigenous populations.

Option 3

WikiProject Social Work | C-Class article; Low-importance

Article title: Basic needs

Article Evaluation

The content in this article is relevant to the topic. It's written with a neutral tone and presents information clearly.

It appears each claim has a citation. The citations also look reliable, I see a lot of peer reviewed articles and official guidelines.

• Note: Reference 8 does not include a URL.

The article does cover an equity gap--it contains information on health and economic disparities that affect low-income communities as well as communities of color. These were not explored in great depth, but there were several mentions throughout the article.
