Public opinion polls at the national level and in several states have found majority support for ending the use of conversion therapy on youth. A 2019 national poll conducted by Ipsos/Reuters found that 56% of US adults support making conversion therapy on youth by mental health practitioners illegal as compared to a minority (18%) who think that it should be legal.21 Majority support for making conversion therapy on youth illegal was observed across all age groups, regions of the US, and rural/urban residence.22 https://www.courier-journal.com/story/life/wellness/health/2020/02/17/conversion-therapy-kentucky-what-is-it-why-controversial/4645356002/

During the article evaluation I learned that there are different ways to understand how good an articles material actually is. I always knew that it wikipedia articles were always something to be weary about but then learning about article grades and article that are within series I found it easier to figure out which were secure.When approaching the critique of my article I read through it thoroughly and copied it into a google doc so I could edit within in their first. I was able to find out which words were not grammatically correct and what needed to be fixed. I added a lot of grammatical errors corrections as well as some up to date facts because it had been awhile since the article had been updated. Although I didn't add to much I feel like the article stands alone a lot better now.

I dont believe my class did a peer review simply because no one peer reviewed mine. I did add my comments on one of my peers but it wasn't a huge review it was just as small comment on how I thought they were doing. So far none of my peer have gave me any suggestions but in their defense there may not be much to add so its possibly they really just had nothing to say. I also never got any feedback from other wikipidea contributors or editors but my article is small and there are series out there for it so it is possible that they arent too worried about mine. In the end I learned how easy it is to contribute to wikipedia and although it was stressful in the beginning I think it is a cool thing to know how to do in case you run across something that needs editing. The wikipedia assignment does not compare to any other assignments because it is so far from anything english classes request us to do. Learning how to do this is important because it can help improve the public's understanding of something I know specifically. If I ever came across something in something I was interested in, I would not have the ability to edit or suggest edits. For example I was able to edit my article on conversion therapy and soce which is a topic not everyone knows about. I feel I helped improved Wikipedias coverage in the sense I was able to update spe information to this more current time. The only issues I came across was looking for reliable sources that would have accurate information as well as adding things that would not already be listed in the articles already. I feel this lesson taught me that I have an ability to use my voice to make change. I am able to come across something that doesnt seem correct or is out of date and help make it correct so the word are able to find the best information. The world needs to educate themselves on a lot of things and in order to do that we need to be educated myself so we can help show the world the correct information.
