What is a good article?

• A good article is an article that has multiple reliable courses and that is neutral in opinion.

• On the Wikipedia Talk page is where people leave reviews and rating to show how quality of an article.

• The article should be easy to understand as if the reader knows nothing about the topic.

• Should include heading and subheadings as well as images and diagrams.

What is a "bad" article?

• In order to really tell if an article is bad is looking at the Talk page of the article.
• Some article have banners if they are unreliable or if they just need a simple edit.
• Articles that persuade you to think a certain way. Wikipedia is just for stating facts, not to be biased in any way.
• The article should have more than one course to back up their information.

Citing Sources

• Everything written for Wikipedia must be cited from a reliable source.
• Close paraphrasing is not allowed. Ideas should be written in own words and also cited at the bottom and referred to in the text.
• Lengthy quotes cannot be added into the article even if the source was given credit. This violates copyright rules.
• To not plagiarize take notes on many sources to understand the topic better, than write the evidence in your own words.

Notes: Privilege

• In a social context this means that special rights are given to only a particular group of people such as gender, race, social class, etc.
• The article has a whole bunch of sources and they are cited. The article has 21 sources and it seems pretty reliable.
• Many people are saying it is not a good article but it has improved since all these remarks.
• Some sources were removed because they were not appropriate in the article.
• There is a sense of white privileged here from the times of slavery.

Wikipedia's Hostility To Women

• Women are being treated with disrespect by other men.
• Harassing them and putting fake nudes on a porn site and saying it is her.

No Original Research

• Must be a source from someone that is credible.

Article Evaluation

Cosmetics

• It was a good article for information. It was true information because I know a lot of makeup and it is written clearly.
• I chose this because I wanted to actually see if I can catch an error because I know about the topic to evaluate it better.
• It was very long and has much to say about the topic.
• Very oriented meaning: it talks about a lot of various topics about cosmetics.
• I enjoyed it but some sources were not cited.
• Needed to explain the European regulations of what is in the makeup products. Only gave brief description on that it regulates everything in Europe.
• The article does seem biased meaning it only states a whole lot of facts with 68 sources.
• The ones I checked out seemed pretty legit many were books or ".org" websites.
• Of course this topic has many subtopics to add such as theatre makeup and men being accepted to wear makeup more as talked about in the Talk page.
• This article is rated C-class. Im not quit sure of what that means. I think it just needs more information to get a whole variety of subjects in this article.

Anxiety

• I chose this because I know little about the subject. It is a bit more of a challenge because it can tell a reader anything and the reader might just believe it.
• I went straight to the bottom to see the references and I noticed there is a lot. With a total of 85 sources. I feel this just means its been added to more. Since wikipedia is really ongoing info that doesn't stop growing it.
• According to the Talk page on this article is rated B-class. But it says it need more improvement.
• Some of the sources are written to where people cant understand. So maybe it can be edited to be more clear to readers.
• A type of anxiety is missing someone said on the Talk page.
• This also means that when reading the article you have to know what the topic is to really catch errors or notice missing information. It has to be something you already know and if its not than people can be easily persuade to believe it.
• The article has big words or words I've never heard before and they are not explained making the article a bit difficult to understand. Wikipedia should be easy to understand as if it is the first time readers have heard about the subject.
• It makes the article kind of undesirable to read.
• There is a quote I like that says "Anxiety disorders are partly genetic but may also be due to drug use, including alcohol..." But it does not cite this source. It is valuable information but it doesn't have a source cited.

Works Cited: Coral Coast, Fiji

• I changed my article because on the previous one there was not enough information about it. This article has better things online for it.
• with plenty of things to do. From the beach life to trying great foods, there is also a chance to get a real, authentic experience in Fiji. Villagers welcome tourists to experience their day by day life such as, fishing and selling at the local market.
