Peer Review Comments

Hi Giselle! I read over your comments on the talk page of your article, and was glad to see that you found sources to add! I think you should add more details about what you plan to change, and draft a few ideas for sentences that you will later add to the article. Bgrampp8 (talk) 16:21, 15 October 2016 (UTC) Alright I figured out how to view your sandbox, and I like your drafts so far! My only suggestion is to try and not use so many full sentence quotes, maybe just state the sentence and cite it or rephrase it and cite it. Make it look like your work instead of just copying whole sentences from an article. Bgrampp8 (talk) 16:49, 15 October 2016 (UTC)Reply


Hi Giselle, Your contributions to the article are mainly in favor of diminishing prison sexuality. This in itself isn't bad to include bc it is a point of view that should be brought to the readers attention when considering prison sexuality. but you should add in facts that present another point of view such as prison sexuality exists because inmates actually begin to have genuine feelings. I know you touch on this briefly but the article is disproportionately in favor of the other view which can seem biased. For example, this part "you cannot classify the prisoners sexuality as heterosexual or homosexual during their prison time because it could not be accurate; their sexuality is on hold meanwhile because they act on personal needs rather than interpersonal needs." should be countered by a quote/fact that shows prison sexuality to not only be for a useful purpose but because its like any other sexuality. Altogether you bring up good points that helps the reader understand prison sexuality, I just think you could widen the spectrum by including diffferent points of view
