Wikipedia Article Evaluation Assignment:
Notes on Wiki article on Ruth Bader Ginsburg:
 * article has the green 'good article' tag — is listed as a Wiki article under the social sciences and society good articles category, is also considered of interest to multiple WikiProjects
 * citation links work — cites a variety of sources all from reputable sources (mix of newspaper interviews, books, etc.)
 * the article is very much of a neutral tone and perspective — is in that regard very much like a standard biography
 * discussion of the cases she argued is written in a manner that focuses on the specific facts of the cases and outcomes, there is no indication of biased claim or tone favoring one outcome or specific position regarding the nature of the case and/or the social issue it was touching upon (i.e. gender equality, abortion etc.)
 * strikes a good balance in the viewpoints it represents — collection of quotes/commentary from RBG herself, former colleagues, newspaper commentators, legal scholars etc.
 * All information is up to date. Even includes a blurb about Kate McKinnon's portrayal of RBG on SNL and recent updates of a screenplay and documentary about her — might suggest adding some things to pop culture section that I know of and realized weren't mentioned
 * On the Talk page there is lots of discussion about proper language and description of case summaries, making sure legal terminology/explanation is correct and suggestions about changing certain phrases and word choice to make it sound more neutral

Article Draft: (additions to 'Areas of campaign' section)
Addition to existing discussion section on dress codes:

For some Muslim women, particularly those of younger generations, the personal decision to wear the hijab is an opportunity to express their contemporary ideas on Muslim femininity. As Reina Lewis, a Professor of Cultural Studies at the London College of Fashion, discusses in her book Muslim Fashion: Contemporary Style Cultures, the evolution of mainstream hijab fashion serves as an outlet for Muslim women to demonstrate creativity and individuality in their development of a personal style that adheres to the code of dressing modestly.

(Rewording according to Shalor's comments/suggestions:)

In her book Muslim Fashion: Contemporary Style Cultures, London College of Fashion Cultural Studies professor Reina Lewis states that the evolution of mainstream hijab fashion serves as an outlet for Muslim women to demonstrate creativity and individuality in their development of a personal style that adheres to the code of dressing modestly. This gives Muslim women, particularly those of younger generations, the personal decision to wear the hijab is an opportunity to express their contemporary ideas on Muslim femininity.

Addition to 'Areas of campaign' section: --> add on to existing Personal Law/Sharia Law section

One of such controversial interpretations involve passages in the Quran that discuss the idea of a man's religious obligation to support women. Some scholars, such as anthropologist Carolyn Fluehr-Lobban in her work on Arab-Muslim women activists' engagement in secular religious movements, argue that this assertion of a religious obligation "has traditionally been used as a rationale for the social practice of male authority." In some countries the legislative and administrative application of male authority is used to justify denying women access to the public sphere through the "denial of permission to travel or work outside the home, or even drive a car." On Sept. 26, 2017 Saudi Arabia announced it would end its longstanding policy banning women from driving in June 2018. Various female activists had protested the ban, among them Saudi women's rights activists Manal al-Sharif, by posting videos of them driving on social media platforms.

Peer Review assignment (originally posted on the talk page/sandbox of the person I was reviewing)
Peer Review of Jordyn's contribution to Islamic feminism: I agree with Markie, I think the discussion of Muslim codes of modest dress like the hijab in relation to other religions is an interesting connection point and addition to the dress code section. I would also second the point about citing more — as I learned from the critique I got from the Wiki advisor Shalor, paraphrasing is a real tricky trap in terms of Wikipedia plagiarism rules — so try and cite even sentences that appear as an initial general transition (like your first sentence.) Lastly, I'd be interested to hear a few examples of the clothing Hamza noticed were popular among her Jewish clients. Lizmeuser (talk) 21:54, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
