Article Evaluation

Article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judith_Butler

Notes/Errors:

1. In the section Political Activism there are a lack of citations for Judith Butler's specific views/stance on the BDS campaign.

2. In the section Giving an Account of Oneself (2005) there are many statements made on Butler's behalf without any citations.

3. In the section "Giving an Account of Oneself (2005)" the sentence "To take seriously one's opacity to oneself in ethical deliberation means then to critically interrogate the social world in which one comes to be human in the first place and which remains precisely that which one cannot know about oneself." needs to changed or attributed to Butler. It is not clear if this sentence is attributed to Butler or the author explaining an unnamed concept. The sentence in this section is superfluous, has no attribution, and lacks any citation to Butler or their work. This sentence should be removed in its present state.

4. This article is rated as B-class across all of its WikiProjects. It is part of the WikiProjects of Science/Academica Biographies, Philosophy, LGBT Studies, Feminism, Gender Studies, Ohio, California, University of California, Cleveland, and Women Writers.

5. The talk page behind-the-scenes shows a concern about the lack of citations and attributions. I definitely noticed this while I was reviewing the page.

6. Many facts are not attributed and statements are made without any reference material available to match them to their source.

7. The article generally remained on track regarding Judith Butler's social and political activism. Her specific activism on the Black Lives Matter movement was a little distracting considering her work had no known influence on the movement and her Wikiprojects did not include her in any major race-related topics.

8. It seems like her comments on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict are over-represented in the paper considering her primary works concerns gender theory. While she has made comments and participated in political action, it seems to be over-represented based on her overall contributions.
