In this course, we will explore and analyze the status of women in the United States through critical examination of the ways in which institutions such as family, education, work, media, government, the economy, and law shape women’s lived experiences. As part of this process of exploration, we will also inquire into the ways race, class, sexuality, age, and ability structure women’s position in society.

Assignment - Evaluate a Wikipedia article

 It's time to think critically about Wikipedia articles. You'll evaluate a Wikipedia article related to the course and leave suggestions for improving it on the article's Talk page. 


  • Complete the "Evaluating Articles and Sources" training (linked below).
  • Read a minimum of three of the articles listed below:
  •  Create a section in your sandbox titled "Article evaluation" where you'll leave notes about your observations, thoughts, critiques, and reviews. 
  •  As you read each article, consider the following questions (but don't feel limited to these): 
    • Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?
    • Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
    • Are there viewpoints that are over-represented, or under-represented?
    • Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?
    •  Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted? 
    • Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?
    •  Check out the Talk page of the article. What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic? 
    • How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?
    • How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?
  • Choose at least 1 question relevant to one of the articles you're evaluating and leave your evaluation on the article's Talk page. Be sure to sign your feedback with four tildes — Helaine (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:58, 22 November 2017 (UTC). [reply]
