evaluating article:

I think this was wiki page for the US census was okay. It wasn't great but it was okay. When I went to look at the references for this page I noticed that not only were a lot of the references from the same web page but also there were a lot of references that had nothing to do with the census such as the article about the distribution of food. I believe this could e very problematic because this will allow the writer to alter a fact and convince the reader to their understanding of the topic.

Gendercide article:

What I plan to contribute to this article is that I want to add some information such as the male to female ratio in modern times. I also want to add some details on how the gendercide from the past has caused some issues in modern times. I think it is important to update the information for modern times because that way they can compare the ratios and rates from then and now. Also, there is more research that has been done to give a more accurate numbers and do not misinform the public on gendercide. I was also thinking about including gendercide and gender identity because that is also an issue that is occurring and falls into the category.

Gendercide:
 * Gendercide is reported to be a rising problem in several countries. Census statistics report that in countries such as China and India, the male to female ratio is as high as 120 men for every 100 women.[2] Gendercide also takes the forms of abortion and infanticide, and lethal violence against a particular gender at any stage of life.**((Editing the sentence above)) As of 2015 China's male to female ratio was 105.1 boys per 100 girls and in India it was 107.6 boys per 100 girls.

Androcide:
 * Another incident of androcide was the Srebrenica massacre of approximately 8,000 Bosniak men and boys on July 12, 1995, ruled as an act of genocide by the International Court of Justice.[23][24] From the morning of 12 July, Serb forces began gathering men and boys from the refugee population in Potočari and holding them in separate locations, and as the refugees began boarding the buses headed north towards Bosniak-held territory, Serb soldiers separated out men of military age who were trying to clamber aboard. Occasionally, younger and older men were stopped as well (some as young as 14 or 15).**((adding on)) In Kosovo during the 1999 war, the Serbian army would kill Albanian men who were of battle age. This was a strategy used to eliminate the threat from the opposing army. Many of these young men were abducted, tortured, and would disappear. Most times, the young Albanian men were targeted as terrorists and would be killed on sight.
