Content

[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • Is the content added relevant to the topic? Yes
  • Is the content added up-to-date? It seems that about 75% of the references are younger than 5 years old, therefore most of the content should be up to date.
  • Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong? No, I think the article is complete.
  • Does the article deal with one of Wikipedia's equity gaps? Does it address topics related to historically underrepresented populations or topics? No.

Sources and References

[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • Is all new content backed up by a reliable secondary source of information? Many of the statements are cited with more than one reference. However, sometimes the second source of information is a fairly new content as well.
  • Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic? Yes.
  • Are the sources current? About 75% of the references are younger than 5 years old, therefore most of the sources are current with a quarter of them older than 5 years old.
  • Are the sources written by a diverse spectrum of authors? Do they include historically marginalized individuals where possible? Yes, most of the sources are written by multiple authors. I am no sure if any authors are historically marginalized.
  • Check a few links. Do they work? Yes. All the links I clicked worked.

Organization

[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • Is the content added well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read? Yes. The sentences flow very nicely making it easy to read and comprehend.
  • Does the content added have any grammatical or spelling errors? Yes, I found a few grammatical errors and some errors in punctuation, specifically in the "Diagnosis" and "Epidemiology" section.
  • Is the content added well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic? Yes. I think a section dedicated solely to resistance would be nice though.

Images and Media

[edit]

Guiding questions: If your peer added images or media

  • Are images well-captioned? There are no images.

For New Articles Only

[edit]

If the draft you're reviewing is a new article, consider the following in addition to the above.

  • Does the article meet Wikipedia's Notability requirements - i.e. Is the article supported by 2-3 reliable secondary sources independent of the subject? Yes, there are 39 total sources.
  • How exhaustive is the list of sources? Does it accurately represent all available literature on the subject? I am not sure how to answer this question, as there can be hundreds of articles containing partial or complete information about any one microbe. Determining if the list of sources is exhaustive is out of my reach.
  • Does the article follow the patterns of other similar articles - i.e. contain any necessary infoboxes, section headings, and any other features contained within similar articles? Yes, however the epidemiology section contains a larger amount of subheadings than usual.
  • Does the article link to other articles so it is more discoverable? Yes, there are many links available to click throughout the article.

Overall impressions

[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • Has the content added improved the overall quality of the article - i.e. Is the article more complete? I am not sure how to look at the article before it was edited by my classmates. However, the current article is complete and concise.
  • What are the strengths of the content added? The content includes relevant information and is not too overloaded with detail. I liked how methicillin resistance was elaborated upon as this is a growing concern in medicine.
  • How can the content added be improved? A punctuation and grammar check would benefit this article. Also a section dedicated solely to resistance would be helpful because this information is scattered throughout the sections of the article.
