Elena review

Lead

My peers article had a range of updated information as well as thoroughly outlining the article's topic in the primary sentence. Background information was provided in depth about years and US involvement and statistics were thorough with the amount of women affected. My peer outlined the major sections of the article and provided key information. The lead was focused dominantly about sterilization of women rather than the idea of over population and poverty. The lead was concise but sources were not cited for all of the statistical figures stated.

Content

The content in my peer's article was relevant to the topic and being updated information. The content was thorough and coverage was complete. My peer's article delas with an equity gap as well as being related to underrepresented populations and topics having affected women in minority races in the US.

Tone and Balance

The information context and tone in this article are neutral, thorough, balanced and fit Wikipedia's guidelines. The article outlines very useful information and statistics which show no biased. While the topic of the article is "sterilization of Latinas" my peer provided information solely about Puerto Rico rather than Latin America. Puerto Rico and its poverty and overpopulation should have been included in her topic. There was no indication of persuasion.

Sources and references

My peer only provided one source instead of two but reflects very relative to the content of the article. The source is fairly current dated from 2009-2010. The source was written by Elena R. Gutierrez and Liza Fuentes who are educated Latin American women that are credible in their information. I found a source that covers additional information relating to sterilization of latinas such as US military and Puerto Rican economic pressure. This research article was written by Bonnie Mass on October 1st, 1977 titled "Puerto Rico: a Case Study of Population Control".

Organization

The content written is very concise, clear and easy to read. A change that I would recommend is to restructure and change the location of the Guadalupe Acosta story. I believe the content was well structured and covered the major topics of the article. Spelling and gramatical errors did not shown in the article.

Images and Media

My peer did not provide any images or media in her article.

Overall Impressions

The content added to the article benefits and compliments widely because it explains in detail the reasoning behind the sterilization. While the original Wikipedia article headlines its major information by countries, my peer's article focuses on Puerto Rico solely. The article can be improved by providing more sources, media, and images.

Dulce review

Content

My peer's article was well balanced to Wikipedia's guidelines. The article was also thorough and well outlined.

Tone and Balance

Information in the article is neutral and non-biased.

Sources and references

My peer provided five sources and are very related to the topic. When I try to access to the source it sends me directly to the source. The sources come from very credible information.

The sources are up to date and recent which in all provide more accurate information.

Organization

The content of the article was very clear and the information is very easy to understand. I like the fact that she organized the information by years and we do not have to go back and forth with years. Aside from that, I did not find any grammatical errors.

Images and Media

My peer did not provide any images or media in her article.

Overall Impressions

Overall I can say that the information that Dulce added to the article is of great importance. The case of Jovita Rivera helps the article to relate the topic to real life. I feel like when we integrate cases to our research paper or article, it makes our information more credible. The article can be improved by providing images.
