"Article Evaluation"


 * Article jumps from claim to claim, pulling main information from one source. Most items are relevant, but goes into more detail on the other form of bipolar than is needed.
 * Repeats similar claims throughout in an unproductive way.
 * Most recent source is from 2015, can be updated but is not completely out of date
 * More sourcing and evidence could be used. Details on other linked disorders can be used as a hyperlink and is not needed within the article. Some claims are waiting to be verified.
 * Article has some non neutral areas, claiming bipolar II is worse than bipolar I with no sourcing. Seems to have been written by someone who used personal opinions.
 * Needs a more neutral view that states the information as facts with no emotion attached.
 * Citation links seem to work, claims supported and verified through the cites.
 * The references are unbiased, coming from psychiatric journals and experiments. Some citations can be removed as they are links to blog posts and personal experiences. The bias is not noted.
 * In the talk page, people are discussing lack of sourcing and information, and bias.
 * The article is rated Star-class and is a part of the Wikiproject Medicine.
 * This relates to class as it is a psychological topic that has bias used to dramatize the disorder and lacks substantial evidence in some areas. CMaskrey15 (talk) 01:10, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

Self-Selection Bias


 * The article lacks information on Self Selection bias and only uses 3 sources. I plan to do further research and find more sources that will benefit this topic and those who visit and add them. As I find more information I would like to add this information to give more than two short paragraphs on the topic.
 * Information is relevant, but topic is under developed and can use more clarity and information. Only 3 sources which does not fully convey a well depicted overview of topic.
 * Websites to look at for information: https://dictionary.apa.org/self-selection-bias http://sphweb.bumc.bu.edu/otlt/MPH-Modules/EP/EP713_Bias/EP713_Bias2.html https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=596225 CMaskrey15 (talk) 01:28, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

"This concept stems from Alfred Kinsey's 1940s surveys of sexuality; significant numbers of Kinsey's subjects reported bisexuality of varying degrees, rather than the strict heterosexual/homosexual division that had been previously assumed. This work was expanded by Fritz Klein, who hypothesized that sexual orientation was a dynamic, multi-variable process, involving attraction, behavior, fantasies, emotional and social preferences, self-identification, and lifestyle.[1] This continuum was an important influence on the feminist and gay-rights movements of the 1970s and 1980s as academics and movement leaders tried to distinguish between one's sex—e.g. being male or female—and the social, cultural, and psychological aspects of gender and sexuality."

Change to: "This concept stems from Alfred Kinsey's 1940s surveys of sexuality, less than 5% of young adults to show signs of homosexuality; numbers of Kinsey's subjects reported bisexuality of varying degrees, rather than the strict heterosexual/homosexual division that had been previously assumed.

The Heterosexual–homosexual continuum is measured using the Kinsey scale. (create link to page) Should we link it to the Kinsey scale page?CMaskrey15 (talk) 13:48, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
