= Article Evaluation = Placebo Studies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Placebo_studies#cite_note-kaptchuk-3

Everything in this article is relevant to the article topic, however the information listed is quite broad. In fact, it was not even listed nor cited when exactly was this study was conducted. In the article, it states “Rorschach tests” however, it does not explain what this test is exactly, which can potentially mislead or misinform readers. The article seems a bit biased, this article seems to lean towards the positive outcomes of the placebo effect. Not much information is backed up when the article states that a team led by Wolf at a university tested the reliability of the placebo effect, seems incomplete.

Islamic Feminism evaluation 9/28/18 Islamic feminism

In the islamist definitions area, it states that a academic and islamic politician states that islam and feminism are mutually exclusive, I feel that there should be information from another scholar provided who does not state the same idea, in order to avoid bias. Margot Badran of Georgetown University’s Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding argues that Islam and feminism are not mutually exclusove and that “Islamic feminism, which derives its understanding and mandate from the Qur'an, seeks rights and justice for women, and for men, in the totality of their existence. Islamic feminism is both highly contested and firmly embraced.”

Under the “Early Changes Under Islam” area, it gives information about Muhammed advocated for women’s rights. The source provided was sufficient and relavent, however, there should another individual’s statement provided as well, just to give a wide variety of information, in order to avoid bias. Mahood A, Moel J, Hudson C, and Leathers L. conducted a study and questioned individual women about how their role as a woman in their religion and if it empowering them in any way, an interviewee states "In Islam and its teachings are capable of giving women an equal footing in society to men, and that Islam does not relegate women to the private sphere. I really believe some Muslims have distorted our teachings and forgotten our heritage. I believe that Islam can be used as a source of empowerment for women[1]." https://theconversation.com/islam-and-feminism-are-not-mutually-exclusive-and-faith-can-be-an-important-liberator-77086

I recently came across a source that it not deemed scholarly or accurate, and so to improve the article’s accuracy and credibility, I have decided to replace the source,  "'Islamic feminism means justice to women', The Milli Gazette, Vol.5 No.02, MG96 (16-31 Jan 04)". milligazette.com. Retrieved 9 December 2015. with http://ias.org/sufism/women-in-islam/

The “Equality In Leading Prayer” area seems to be underwritten, in order to improve this section, I feel that including a statement by Muzammil Siddiqi in the article “Woman Imam Leading Men and Women in Salat”  would be beneficial. In the Article, Siddiqi states that the reason women are not supposed to lead prayer is because “It is not permissible to introduce any new style or liturgy in Salat.” Siddiqi argues that a woman leading prayer may stray away from the tradition of men teaching.
