Workplan:

For my workplan, I would like to make the page more organized and expand on what is already present. Facts in the article are backed, but it only contains a total of 4 articles, for a topic that is overall very huge. The Article is neutral in nature and not biased and I would like to maintain that position in my workplan moving Forward. The information for the most part comes from journals, but I would like to work on adding more references on it. I did not notice any blatant plagiarism in the article, and I will maintain that also. The information does not seem out of date just needs a bit more organization. I would like to add a definition of the word and then move onto describing what the various conditions are. If also think a table would be a good idea.

The symptoms, diagnosis and treatment are all clumped in one area; however, I feel like if I created a table, linking the various types to its location, that would be more helpful. For example, if I am describing hemorrhoids, I would link it in the article but also list symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment for those in the table as a brief overview. I also would like to add some pictures of the location and further descriptors of the overall disorder.

I will also be adding in more references that are not as out of date. I intend on looking up the resources on the UNTHSC Gibson Library database – but search them based on free, public access articles and use that as my filter. I would also be using reliable organizational information and website for data that is widely accessible so people can follow my references easily. At the end of it, I will have my friends peer-review it, but also have my husband and family read it (neither of them know much about medicine) to point out any areas of confusion and change it to more layman terms with feedback. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sumatropin (talk • contribs) 23:48, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

Peer feedback

I completed a peer evaluation of the anorectal disorder that can be found under my page. Overall, the chart helps organize information and includes relevant information including information on diagnosis, treatment, and helpful images. The sources are up to date and reflect key information. Anorectal disorders are very broad so the author or additional users may choose to continue to add to the chart to compile a comprehensive list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by StudentdocEB (talk • contribs) 23:20, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
