Article Evaluation Body image

1.) Everything within this article is relevant to the topic. I did not feel distracted reading this. 2.) Article seems neutral. I did not experience any sense of bias. 3.) Viewpoints are neither overrepresented or underrepresented. 4.) The links I checked work, the links are also relevant to the text. 5.) Not all facts have sources. Most information comes from popular articles such as blogs, articles, etc, many of which are bias. Also no where in the text does it reference that these articles are bias. 6.) The page was last edited April 5, 2018. I believe everything is up to date. I would add more effects of negative body image (depression, suicidal thoughts, etc) 7.) In the talk page, editors make it clear that this wiki page has numerous problems that need to be fixed. Ranges from content, grammar, documentation, tone, etc... 8.) This article is part of two WikiProjects, "WikiProject Psychology" and "WikiProject Sexuality", both of which it was rated as a B-Class page. 9.) We have not talked about body image in class, however, if we did I am sure that this page would talk about body image more formally rather than how we would talk about it in class. I assume we would talk about body image informally in class, with less definitions.

Finalizing Editing

1.) Having a negative body image may lead to a more serious mental illness such as body dysmorphic disorder; in which, “Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), occasionally still called dysmorphophobia, is a mental disorder characterized by the obsessive idea that some aspect of one's own body part or appearance is severely flawed and warrants exceptional measures to hide or fix their dysmorphic part on their person...”
