Article Evaluation: Casual Sex
Everything in this article is relevant to the article topic, though much of the information presented did not delve too deep and some sections were missing. The facts presented are prevalent and useful, though curt which made it slightly distracting because it felt like the article jerked around a bit. The article is presented in a matter-of-fact tone, meaning that it is in a neutral voice and presents straight facts complete with citations. There is no evidence of bias in the article, as there are no opinions, claims, or arguments presented. There are no sections about viewpoints, so there is no overrepresentation or underrepresentation, however, some viewpoints that should be addressed in this article are religious viewpoints, feminist viewpoints, and moral viewpoints. Some of the citations are from textbooks, so there are no actual links to these sources. The sources that are linked that I clicked on work. The citations support the facts because, for example, birth control is discussed as a tool of sexual liberation, and a source about birth control pills jumpstarting the sexual revolution is linked. Each cited fact is referenced with an appropriate reference, and there are no noted sources that have bias. There are facts lacking citations, however, they could easily be cited because they are not obscure pieces of information that cannot be found in a simple Google search. Information is timely as the earliest source dates to 2001, and information that could be added are that to empty sections and facts that need citations. The discussions on the Talk page generally address the lack of points of view in the article, which I would agree is the biggest improvement the article could make. The article is unrated and is part of the Sexuality WikiProject. Wikipedia discusses this topic differently than the way we have talked about it in class because we only talked about casual sex in terms of college hook up culture and its psychological effects, but not its legal issues, moral points of view, or vocabulary.
