Before the training modules, I was skeptical about using Wikipedia as a source of information. It all seemed very haphazard and disorganized to me. I am beginning to see how much goes on behind the scenes to help ensure credibility on Wikipedia, such as WikiProjects that focus on editing a certain group of articles at a time, and "patrolled" articles that are monitored for accuracy by Wikipedia. I am now more excited to start editing on Wikipedia and the prospect of adding even just a small part to such a large collection of knowledge.

Evaluating Content
Although all of the content is relevant, there is a section describing the cover of the book that is relatively long for the size of the article. I feel as though more of the article should be dedicated to the content of the book rather than simply describing the cover that is included in the page already. There is a brief description of the book contents and one or two lines about the author's credibility on the subject, but they could both be improved.

Evaluating Tone
The article is mostly neutral in tone, but it only includes positive book reviews which indicates the author is biased in favor of the book.

Evaluating Sources
The links in the references work, and each source seems to support the claims in the article. A few of the sources are from biased news sources, however, and the bias is not noted in the article.

Checking the Talk Page
The article has not been edited since 2014, and it has only been edited three times total. It is a part of six different WikiProjects and has been rated as "Stub-class" by all six.

Week 5 Homework
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed-loop_communication

The article is very underdeveloped and unreliable. It includes only one small paragraph of information with no sources. Although the article is well-written, there is no way to tell if it is accurate due to its lack of sources. I would rate this article a 1.

I would add the following to the article:

Closed-loop communication (CLC) is a communication model which includes three steps: the "call-out", the "check-back", and the closing of the loop.

A study conducted at the American College of Surgeons in 2016 showed that closed-loop communication is especially effective in high-stress situations like hospitals.

Citing a reference in a Wikipedia page is relatively easy, because Wikipedia does most of the work for you. Once you have written a sentence in your own words, click the " button in the Visual Editor, then copy and paste the link or ISBN number to your reference. Wikipedia will automatically format the information, and all you have to do is hit "Insert."

Now I'm going to celebrate by going to sleep.
