Homosexual Transsexual Evaluation
This is where you will complete your article evaluation. Please use the template below to evaluate your selected article.


 * Name of article: Homosexual transsexual
 * I chose this article because I wanted to learn more about homosexual transsexual. Before this article I did not know much about this subject.

Lead


The Lead does include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic. The article does include a brief description of the articles major sections. No, theLead does not include information that is not present in the article. The lead is very concise and not overly detailed. It gets straight to the point, so you know what you will be reading about.

Content

 * Guiding questions

The article's content is relevant to the topic. The topic is about Homosexual Transsexuals and that is exactly what the article talks about. The content is relatively up to date. The most recent study was done in 2005, so only 15 years ago. No, the information in the article is relevant to what the author of the article is discussing. No, the article does not deal with one of Wikipedia's equity gaps, however, it does briefly discuss an underrepresented population. That population being the Maori.

Tone and Balance

 * Guiding questions

The article is neutral because instead of stating bias opinions, it states facts from scientists who have studied homosexual transsexuals. There are no claims that appear heavily biased towards a particular position. The viewpoints on gynephilic female-to-male transexuals are a little underrepresented, but I feel that is only because there is more research done on androphilic male-to-female transsexuals. The article does not attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another.

Sources and References

 * Guiding questions

.All the facts in the article are backed up by a reliable secondary source of information. The sources are thorough, the author of this article focused on the main doctors who have a lot of research in this field. The sources are relatively current, about 15 years old. The sources could be more up to date though. The sources aren't necessarily a diverse spectrum of authors, more like four or five different doctors who focus on this research. They do include historically marginalized individuals where possible. The links do work and are credible sources.

Organization

 * Guiding questions

The article is well written and concise. It gets the point across without going too far off the beaten path. No, the article did not have any grammatical or spelling errors that I had noticed. I felt the article was well-organized. As it was broken down into sections that reflected the major points of the topic.

Images and Media

 * Guiding questions

There are no pictures included in this article that would enhance an understanding of the topic.

Checking the talk page

 * Guiding questions

I feel that the kind of conversations, if any, that are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic would be able where to begin, which doctors to choose and highlight within the article, and how to organize the topics. The article is rated as an Academic discipline and is not part of any WikiProject, at least to my knowledge. Personally, I have not gone to either class thus far, so I don't know if we have talked about a related topic, however, based on the modules I do not believe we have discussed this yet.

Overall impressions

 * Guiding questions

The articles overall status is well written and to the point. I think that the article's strength's would have to be bringing in the doctors who have studied this and talking about their research on the topic. It could be more up to date. I am sure that in the last 15 years more research has been done on this topic that has helped us understand what happens in the brain and the correlation of why people choose to have a sexual reassignment. I think that the article is well developed, but could have more research, especially with MRI scans.
