My Mid-Term Quiz for LIBY 1210-15 Winter 2018

My Research Topic is: Psychiatry

Key words related to my Research Topic are:

Part 1:

Examine Wikipedia articles that are directly related to your Research Topic and select a substantive article to evaluate. This could be an article about an idea (e.g., I might choose the one about a topic, e.g., Nortec IF that was what I am researching) or a person (if I were researching Reggae music, I might pick Bob Marley)). Answer the following questions:

+1. I chose to read and evaluate the article titled: Music and psychology

+2. Is there a warning banner at the top of the article? No there is not

If there is a warning banner, copy and paste the warning banner here.

Write ps brief explanation of the reason the issues mentioned in the warning banner are important. For example, if the issue is “needs additional citations for verification,” why does that matter?

Please note: If the article you are evaluating does not have a warning banner, choose a warning banner from a different article and explain the warning that is in that banner.

+3. Is the lead section of the article easy to understand? Does it summarize the key points of the article? It gives a clear visual understandment of the article

+4. Is the structure of the article clear? “Are there several headings and subheadings, images and diagrams at appropriate places, and appendices and footnotes at the end?” Yes this article provides images and multiple heading that provide clear understanding.

+5. Are “the various aspects of the topic balanced well”? That is does it seem to provide a comprehensive overview of the topic? Yes it gives clear details of the article and seems to be well balanced.

+6. Does the article provide a “neutral point of view”? Does it read like an encyclopedia article instead of a persuasive essay? It seems to have a natural meaning to behind it. From my view I think it's a persuasive essay.

+7. Are the references and footnotes citing reliable sources? Do they point to scholarly and trustworthy information? Beware of references to blogs; look for references to books, scholarly journal articles, government sources, etc. Yes it gives meaningful reliable sources. The point more towards the trustworthy direction.

8. Look for these signs of bad quality and comment on their presence or absence from the article you are evaluating:

+a. is the lead section well-written, in clear, correct English? Yes it is written in correct English.

+b. are there “unsourced opinions” and/or “value statements which are not neutral”? No I do not see an unsourced option

+c. does the article refer “to ‘some,’ ‘many,’ or other unnamed groups of people,” instead of specific organizations or authors or facts? Yes it gives strictly on the mind of people with mental illness.

+d. does the article seem to omit aspects of the topic? No I think it actually suits it pretty well.

+e. are some sections overly long compared to other sections of similar importance to the topic? Yes some topics tends to compare more than the other.

+f. does the article lack sufficient references or footnotes? No it states quite a few.

+g. Look at the “View History” for the article. As you read the conversation there, do you see hostile dialogue or other evidence of lack of respectful treatment among the editors? Yes some say the they do not tend to feel the same as others.
