From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peer review[edit]

This is where you will complete your peer review exercise. Please use the following template to fill out your review.

General info[edit]

Lead[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • Has the Lead been updated to reflect the new content added by your peer?
    • Yes, but needs to be fixed up to function as a lead. Just adding an article title and maybe separating some of the information in the first paragraph out into other sections
  • Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic?
    • Yes
  • Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections?
    • Kind of, it should be more introductory instead of jumping right into the information
  • Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article?
    • Not really
  • Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed?
    • A little overly detailed. Just think about separating some of the information you have out into other sections

Lead evaluation[edit]

Content[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • Is the content added relevant to the topic?
    • Yes
  • Is the content added up-to-date?
    • Yes
  • Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong?
    • No
  • Does the article deal with one of Wikipedia's equity gaps? Does it address topics related to historically underrepresented populations or topics?
    • Seems like it

Content evaluation[edit]

Tone and Balance[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • Is the content added neutral?
    • Yes
  • Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
    • No
  • Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
    • Common causes of death could probably include a little more information, if only to lead into the next section more smoothly (respiratory disease section)
  • Does the content added attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another?
    • No

Tone and balance evaluation[edit]

Sources and References[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • Is all new content backed up by a reliable secondary source of information?
    • Yes, generally. Disposition definitely needs a source and there could be another source after the first section of the respiratory disease section
  • Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic?
    • Yes
  • Are the sources current?
    • Yes
  • Are the sources written by a diverse spectrum of authors? Do they include historically marginalized individuals where possible?
    • Yes
  • Check a few links. Do they work?
    • Yes

Sources and references evaluation[edit]

Organization[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • Is the content added well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read?
    • Yes, but I would say in disposition you could use simpler language. "unbreakably mirthful" doesn't sound very encyclopedic, even though its an awesome description
  • Does the content added have any grammatical or spelling errors?
    • No
  • Is the content added well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic?
    • The first paragraphs need to be broken up a little more. Really just making a very clear lead section would help a lot and then an overview of Foxhounds right after

Organization evaluation[edit]

Images and Media[edit]

Guiding questions: If your peer added images or media

  • Does the article include images that enhance understanding of the topic?
  • Are images well-captioned?
  • Do all images adhere to Wikipedia's copyright regulations?
  • Are the images laid out in a visually appealing way?

Images and media evaluation[edit]

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?
  • How exhaustive is the list of sources? Does it accurately represent all available literature on the subject?
  • 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?
  • Does the article link to other articles so it is more discoverable?

New Article Evaluation[edit]

Overall impressions[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • Has the content added improved the overall quality of the article - i.e. Is the article more complete?
    • Yes
  • What are the strengths of the content added?
    • Seems very detailed, feels like as much information as I could want about foxhounds
  • How can the content added be improved?
    • Filling out common causes of death and disposition could be helpful, as well as just general organizing
