User:Armiejane/Impostor syndrome/BI496cHS Peer Review

User Armiejane chose to edit the Wikipedia article on Imposter syndrome. The leading section of the article has not been updated to reflect new content that is being added to the article however this change may be made once the content is migrated to the final wikipedia article. The article does not include a sentence that describes the article's topic however it does include two sentences describing the additions that are being made. The second sentence in this section could be reworded to increase clarity. The lead does not include a description of the major sections; it rather explains the concept being discussed. The lead does include new information that is not found to be present in the article.. It addresses to new topics entitled ‘Undergraduate Students (Chicana/Latina) of the University of Nepantleras’ and ‘Imposter Syndrome Among Marginalized STEMM Undergraduates in the UK’ under the topic ‘Further Studies on Students in the Academic Setting (Ethnic Groups/STEMM Undergraduates)’.

The content added is relevant as it pertains to the topic imposter syndrome. It discusses studies showing the impact of imposter syndrome on minority groups. The information appears to be up to date as the three sources of information used for the content are recent. Specifically the sources from the past three years 2020-2023. The content does relate to the topic of the article however the content in the addition may not be relevant or necessary enough to be included in the wikipedia article. This is because it cites specific topics rather than the general information that is essential in a wikipedia article. It may be more useful to center these topics around further studies among minority groups and then include a variety of information from a variety of sources as it currently covers students in academic settings. The content included in this addition may be able to address topics related to historically underrepresented populations or topics.

The content added does appear to be written with a neutral tone as the words chosen reflect the neutral tone meant for the article. The content itself may not be entirely neutral depending on the source used as two of the sources may be trying to sway the readers opinion in a certain direction. This area may require further modification, however the content is not overtly biased. The views included in the content appear to be underrepresented as these views are not addressed in the rest of the wikipedia article. These views may allow for improvement of information available on historically marginalized groups. The neutrality of information may be improved by including a more well rounded group of topics showing the effects on multiple marginalized groups. The majority of the area for the described tone and balance improvement is found under the subtopic ‘Undergraduate Students (Chicana/Latina) of the University of Nepantleras’

The content appears to be backed up by a reliable secondary source of information. The two sources used for the content of the addition are from peer reviewed journal articles. The contents of the article’s addition that reference the sources do also appear to accurately represent the information from those articles. The first and third sources do appear to reflect available literature. The sources are also current ranging from 2020 to 2023. It is not known whether the authors are diverse however the content does appear to shed a light on topics impacting historically marginalized. The first source may not be the best source for the information it is referenced in as it is from a letter and there is not much context for the information used. A better choice may have been a more general peer reviewed article on the effects of imposter syndrome on marginalized groups. The links cited do appear to work.
