Adding Citations: Week 5
Eighty three individuals died during the course of this experiment, though it is unclear as to whether or not the inoculations were the source of these deaths. (Added to Guatemalan Syphilis experiment page) Copyedited same Wiki article

Exploitation of women in mass media

 * 1) Meets requirements: talks about the history and current exploitation and oppression of women (gender) and mass media (technology)
 * 2) Scope of work: it's already long, but Wiki only rates it at 67% completed; expanding 5-fold may be difficult but not impossible
 * 3) Reference: Women in Popular Music Media: Empowered or Exploited?

Guatemala syphilis experiment

 * 1) Meets requirements: exploited population, and medical technology used to exploit
 * 2) Scope of work: not a stub, but very short; 5-fold expansion definitely more do-able
 * 3) Reference: Ethical Failures and History Lessons

Project ARTICHOKE

 * 1) Meets requirements: medically abused marginalized peoples abroad in Asia
 * 2) Scope of work: stub article, easy to expand 5-fold (worried about amount of references I would be able to increase it by)
 * 3) Reference: Memorandum for the Record: Project Artichoke

"Sexual Racism" Article:

 * Missing a good summary of its contents in the lead section
 * "History of U.S" section doesn't entirely connect to title of article
 * Most of the citations are from the 90s
 * Really like that it talks about the homosexual community as well as the heterosexual community
 * Article seems neutral- talks about differing points of views
 * Citations seem to work
 * Some statements still need citations to back them up
 * A lot of ppl liked it on the talk page
 * Biggest suggestion: add more summarizing lead section, and a few missing references need to be cited
 * Of interest to 5 Wikiprojects, including Sociology and Ethnic Groups
 * Difference to class discussion: this talks about the avoidance of certain ethnic groups as sexual partners. It points to more of the historical background of slavery in the U.S., which we haven't touched much on in class.
