Copy and pasted the first few paragraphs referencing "Spigelian hernia,"
Spigelian hernia From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to navigationJump to search Spigelian hernia Other names	Lateral ventral hernia Spigelian Hernia.jpg Transverse CT image of the abdomen in a patient with a Spigelian hernia (arrow). Specialty	General surgery A Spigelian hernia (or lateral ventral hernia) is a hernia through the Spigelian fascia, which is the aponeurotic layer between the rectus abdominis muscle medially, and the semilunar line laterally. These are generally interparietal hernias, meaning that they do not lie below the subcutaneous fat but penetrate between the muscles of the abdominal wall; therefore, there is often no notable swelling.

Spigelian hernias are usually small and therefore risk of strangulation is high. Most occur on the right side. (4th–7th decade of life.) Compared to other types of hernias they are rare.[1]

I am unsure about added more content to the Faith of Graffiti since it looks great. However, I wanted to know if I could get some help adding this information: Mabey, in the background section. I found out that Mailer's second nove. Barbary Shore, was banned by critics. Several publishers rejected his third, Deer Park, and when it finally saw print, it met with mixed reviews. I though that was interesting because it didn't stop him in his tracks and seems that he has had some many successes in his life time. It might be too much but just a thought.

 * Yes, you are getting there. You should remove all indications that this is for a class, as that is not allowed on WP (why all the repeated elements at the beginning? Did you proofread?). Also, it troubles me that you have not yet grasped the correct use of talk pages and replying to other users. This is an essential part of this process. Also, your entire reflection has not a single link, nor is the reference sourced correctly. Again, these are essential aspects of writing and publishing in this environment. —Grlucas (talk) 14:04, 21 February 2020 (UTC)

Critiquing Articles
The Wikipedia (/wɪkɪˈpiːdiə/, critiquing process taught me three important lessons throughout of my article evaluation. I was surprised to learn that Wikipedia could be used for my future projects as a starting point for finding research topics as well as a great place for me to continue to improve my writing and editing skills. The critiquing process also taught me how to successfully edit several pages on articles that referenced; Norris Church Mailer, The Faith of Graffiti and my chosen article Spigelian hernia. In reflection and from someone with little experience the critiquing process was somewhat challenging.  I am still learning new things about Wiki markups, navigation template, and lists. In the future, I need to pay special attention to things like; poorly constructed leads, broken cite links and references that are not formated correctly.

My approach to critiquing started with reading the piece on Norris Church Mailer going over the Wikipedia critquing tutorial, and taking notes for my formal anaylis. I participated in a few discussions and gave my personal thoughts on how I felt about the article. The experience led me to do a little more research on Norris Church Mailer, find more articles and even pictures of the couple taken years ago. I even ordered the book “A Ticket to the Circus,” on Amazon.com.

The critiquing process led me to choose an article written about Spigelian hernias. The two topics were clearly different but after reading that Norris Church Mailer died of gastrointestinal cancer. I couldn't help research the diagnosis further. Somewhere along the way, I found the corelation between gastrointestinal cancer and Spigelian hernia's. After, reading more about the disease referred to as the "Unknown Primary Cancer," (CUP) presenting as a Spigelian hernia, I found out so much more than I would have ever anticipated. . As unbelievable as it sounds my mother lived exactly 11 years just like Norris Mailer with a misdiagnosis of this rare cancer diagnosis of anterior abdominal wall mass. My mom and Norris Mailer had many similarities such as; actrss, modeling, artist, marriage to an ultra successful man and a comparible demise.

Contributions
My initial contributions only a were a few sentences added to the article"The Faith of Graffiti. I posted a few questions on its talk page, recieved feedback and revised a few more sentences. I had intentions on adding to the analysis section "why the art world is still grappling with how to understand this relatively young art form style?" However, I had a set-back with my health, fell behind in my work, and do to time constraints was unable contribute more to that section.  Never the less, The article turned out great, and I appreciate all the collaborative contributions  that made it so much better.

In the article about the Spigelian hernia, I added more information to the lead to give the reader a broader spectrum of medical information. As, I did more research, I found interesting scholarly journals and books on my topic. I added links to help with some of the medical jargon that might be unfamiliar to a reader that has limited knowledge of medical terminology. Next, I rewrote a few sentences, that contributed citations to the signs, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and eponym sections. Finally, I added pictures, and information from a few more scholarly journals. All the while trying not to over exagerate my writing, staying neutral, and refraining from using any impartial information cited from other sources Wikipedia guidelines for medical articles are stringent. Finally, I contributed two pictures to my article; from WikiCommons, and a video uploaded from Medtube

Peer Review
When I first reviewed the article assigned to KatieRob27 at (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:KatieRob27/Capricorn_Records/Kerrymonique_Peer_Review) she hadn’t finished her article and still in the process of making improvements. I chose this article because I am also a song writer, know a lot about the music industry and actually have published work on ASCAP and BMI. The lead was good but needed improvement, there was missing content in the founding section. So, I suggested that the summary could be a little broader in that particular era. I gave feedback on the final draft and felt that the new content was a big improvement from the previously published article.

The second article that I peer reviewed was an article assigned to Pfowler17 in reference to “Reflective writing,” but appeared to still be in the rough draft stages. So, I contacted the author and she told me that she hadn’t started. So, I did a new peer review for User:Amdoubleu to the article titled "Baby Be-Bop,” at (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Amdoubleu/Baby_Be-Bop/Kerrymonique_Peer_Review). After reading the piece, I found some grammatical errors, and suggested that the background be expanded upon.  There was a broken link and some of the sentence seemed ambiguous.  I also contacted Amdouble/Baby and gave him suggestions, to expand more on the plot, add more pictures, and even a link to some reviews..  Unfortunately, Admdouble wrote me back and told me that there weren’t any other pictures that could be added because it hadn’t yet been turned into a movie.  He appreciated my feedback, agreed to expand on the summary and maybe even consider my suggestion about adding reviews.  Overall, I believe the changes Admdoublue made revived that article and brought it up to Wikipedia’s standard.

I received feedback on my topic "Spigelian hernia," from Lizrileymga and Pfower17. Lizrileymga wrote that I should expand on the topic and the details needed to be more concise but she wasn’t sure if more content need to be added. Lizrileymga also expressed her limited lack of medical knowledge on the topic however the article seemed to her to be up-to-date. It was suggested that the lead be re-written and additional pictures be added. I took her advice, added content, pictures, fixed the broken links and even enhanced the article with an external link to a video from Medtube. Also, Pfowler17 gave me feedback on the content added, and suggested that I delete the term “in simple terms,” and contribute more pictures. Pfowler17's overall impression of the article was positive. She wrote that the article looked great so far. Although, when I did my first draft, I didn't know what to expect. However, my peers were polite and thoughtful throughout the process. I appreciated the feedback because it gave me the courage to be more open about asking for help when I was confused about something on the Wikipedia talk pages.

Wikipedia in General
I had an amazing experience contributing to Wikipedia. I learned so much about it's features, broad range of articles, and cultural divesity, that I would have never imagined in my wildest dreams. Eventhough, I knew it was an online encyclopedia I did not know that it was a refuge for so many volunteers, from all over the world, that give of their time, add contributions, that make Wikipedia articles much better. There is so much information on Wikipedia that I unintentionally found myself going down several rabbit holes for countless hours at a time. Today, I have such a different perspective on Wikipedia and will definitely be using it as a starting point for doing research in the future. I was scared to use the wiki markup code and tried to stick to using the wiki visual editor but with the help of my librarian and Professor GrLucas’s enthusiasm I stepped out of my comfort zone and found that it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be. At first, I made a huge mistake but my professor assured me that it would be corrected which made me feel relieved. All and all I learned how to use some of Wikipedia's formating style, the importance of staying neutral, keeping content balanced, following the guidelines and citing only sources exceptable to Wikipedia’s standards. As I reflect on the last few weeks in introspection. I believe Wikipedia has been a powerful learning tool that has aided me in gaining the skills to evaluate, revise, and articulate corrections within exsiting articles in order to improve them for the sake of the reader.KerryMoniqueMcNair (talk) 01:30, 27 February 2020 (UTC)kerrymonique Reflective Essay  KerryMoniqueMcNair (talk) 19:18, 27 February 2020 (UTC)kerrymonique
