Week 6 activity

Find one gender studies related article that is rated by Wikipedia *and* by the predicted quality widget as C-class or Start-class. Post the link here with a brief summary of why the article has that rating, and what you would do to improve the article. Be sure to post your reply using headings and indentations, and to sign your post! (see my example below. hint: click 'edit source' above, next to Read, to see the formatting codes)

Bonus: spend a few minutes exploring Wikipedia, just digging around (you could start by looking at some of the pages linked in the menu on the left) until you find something surprising and/or helpful to share with your colleagues. Share the link to the page and a short description after you complete the article activity.

Article info: 1982 Barnard Conference on Sexuality Wikipedia rating: Start-class // Predicted: C-class // 252 views last 30 days

Why it's a C-class article: The Talk page has nothing on it! The article itself is just an intro and two paragraphs so there isn't much to it and it isn't organized with any subsections. There might not be a lot of information available, but it was under High priority for the feminism wikiproject. Right now, the article is focused on controversy and issues arising from the conference, not the conference itself, so there is room to add more details about the event and maybe the organizers.

How I can improve it: The references come from credible sources (journal articles), so adding some news/reporting sources shouldn't undermine the credibility of the article, and won't be 'original research' if I just use the facts/information to fill out the event more. I believe it would also be okay to use a conference program (if available) in order to create a section that explains the events of the conference itself. There are also some 'citation needed' tags that need to be addressed.

• Helpful thing! See what links to the page you're currently on
  • When you're on an article page, look at the menu on the left side of the page. Under 'Tools' is an option that says 'What links here' - click it and it shows you all of the articles that link to the one you're looking at!

Article Info: African-American Women for Reproductive Freedom, Wikipedia rating: Start Class // Predicted: Start Class (ORES 2.15)// 187 pageviews last 30 days

Why it’s a Start-Class Article: While there may not be a lot of information on the specifics of the organization African American Women for Reproductive Freedom, this article serves only as a brief introduction. It is a start class because it has a good foundation as it states the purpose and goal of the organization and one of their main initial accomplishments, releasing a declaration brochure. However, the declaration brochure is the only subheading in the entire article, and there are not many details about what the declaration brochure entailed. There is not a lot of effort to improve the article either, since it has had only 9 revisions since February 2012 and was rated at most mid-importance by WikiProject Women’s History.

How I can improve it: To begin, I would at least expand on the already existing subheading for the declaration brochure, by providing information on the contents other than just stating it’s the pro-choice stance. I would also describe how the brochure circulated and any results of the brochure, if any information is known. Lastly, it would be important to describe any of the organization’s efforts beyond the declaration brochure since this was created before the organization became official. I do not know how much information exists about the organization, however, I believe there is more information available since only four sources were used and some of the sources are from major outlets, such as NBC News. I think adding images of the organization members, particularly the founders, and any events they participated in would also improve the article.

Article Info: Abortion in Utah Wikipedia, Rating: C-class// Predicted Rating: C-Class (ORES 3.64)// 728 page views last 30 days

Why is it a C-Class article?: This article is C-Class because it does not have very much information on the topic. The intro to the article is only 2 sentences long and does not tell the reader much about the topic. There is also no extra information on the talk page and some of the links in the article are not functioning links. The article goes on later to explain abortions more in a general context but it only has a total of 2 sentences relating to Utah abortions and the rest is the history behind abortions in general.

How can I improve it?: To improve this article, it is important to fix the links that do not work first. I also think that there should be more specific Utah related information about abortions because that is what the article is supposed to be about. I believe that there should be many more resources on the subject based on data taken more recently. The data that is featured in this article is from 2015 and I think that this topic is constantly changing and should be updated on this page. Ksully9900 (talk) 10:57, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

Sandboxes

I've looked over Ella's sandbox and it looks good. I did do some formatting and such so I could more easily see what went with what. Offhand my main concern here is that two of the sources don't have any information as to whether the papers were ever put out via an academic or scholarly source or if they are user submitted papers. As far as I know, Baike Library allows users to submit their own work to the site so it's entirely possible for there to be papers written by people who wouldn't be considered authorities on the given topic area. I've tagged these two sources so they will be easy to spot.

I'll review Huang's draft next. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:14, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

• The sourcing is missing from the draft. Can you add it? --Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:41, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
  • I added Hui's reference list, though it's not properly formatted yet (it was in Word). I am going to let Ella and Hui know the IP block was removed! Ecs222 (talk) 18:51, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

Louisa Rose moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Louisa Rose, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 04:35, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

@AleatoryPonderings: That was my plan! I started it on my phone so it was easier to just create the article (then I forgot to move it into draft). Thanks! -Ecs222 (talk) 04:58, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
