Wiki Project: Animal Rights

Article: Animal Testing

The article Animal Testing mostly covers almost all the main contents of the topic but in my opinion i should also cover a brief paragraph about animal testing in the cosmetic industry and also in space exploration. These two industries are tops the list of using animals for experimentation. Cosmetics are one the highest selling products in the retail market. People should be aware of the fact that most of the cosmetics are tested on animal first before being manufactured for humans. Therefore, I think that this article should also include these sub topics.

The contents of the article included are pretty well organized but I think instead of mentioning "Alternatives to animal testing" in the very end of the article, it should be mentioned prior. People usually look only at the information that is listed in the first two paragraphs of the article. So, I think it is better to mention about the alternatives in the second or the third paragraph. The article seems to be neutral as it covers both about animal rights and also to the threats faced by the researches as well as the researches because of not using animals. I personally love animals but it seems to me that the viewpoints mentioned against animal testing are over represented compared to the ones written for supporting animal testing. People should know both the sides equally for the reasons supporting as well as neglecting animal testing to get a neutral base of the article.

Moreover, the citations and links mentioned in the article do work and does support the claim in the article. The sources are not completely neutral. Most of the sources focuses just on the points against animal testing. The article should also include some sources for the points supporting animal testing.

Looking at the talk page of the article, I could mostly see conversations about biased points mentioned in the article. People mostly wants to include points that is against animal testing but for the article to be neutral it is very important to mention points about both to and against the topic. The article is been rated as good article and is part of the Wiki project "Animal Rights" which is listed as a top importance project.

Wikipedia mostly listed as an article just supporting one aspect of the topic. As per our discussion in the class, it should include points on both the aspects of the topic both for and against animal testing.
