Peer review

[edit]

General info

[edit]

Lead

[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • Has the Lead been updated to reflect the new content added by your peer?
  • Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic?
  • Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections?
  • Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article?
  • Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed?

Lead evaluation

[edit]

I think the lead section is very complete and does its job.

Content

[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • Is the content added relevant to the topic?
  • Is the content added up-to-date?
  • Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong?
  • Does the article deal with one of Wikipedia's equity gaps? Does it address topics related to historically underrepresented populations or topics?

Content evaluation

[edit]

All the content is relevant, but I would recommend adding more in certain parts and of certain topics. First, to give readers some curiosity and keep them reading on Wikipedia, summarize what each study was about in the "Key Studies" section. I suggest a summary because each study already has their own wikipedia article and people can read more about them there. Also, I would put some real cases as examples, in parts that appear to be necessary, like trought the whole "Profiling" section.

Guiding questions:

  • Is the content added neutral?
  • Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
  • Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
  • Does the content added attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another?

Tone and balance evaluation

[edit]

In my understanding, the tone is fine and meets Wikipedia's definition of neutrality.

Sources and References

[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • Is all new content backed up by a reliable secondary source of information?
  • Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic?
  • Are the sources current?
  • Are the sources written by a diverse spectrum of authors? Do they include historically marginalized individuals where possible?
  • Check a few links. Do they work?

Sources and references evaluation

[edit]

Overall every link works, all the sources seemed reliable and they include some written by historically marginalized individuals. In this case, black people, who in the article is mentioned they have been wrongfully accused because of their race. My two recommendations would be to add a citation in the citation needed paragraph of the "Profiling" section, and to search for more current sources if possible.

Organization

[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • Is the content added well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read?
  • Does the content added have any grammatical or spelling errors?
  • Is the content added well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic?

Organization evaluation

[edit]

The "Profiling" section is quite long, so it may be difficult or boring for readers. Two possible solutions would be to summarize the information even more or transform it into tables, concept maps or a timeline. I wrote another possible solution under "Images and Media". Throughout the article I noticed some spelling and grammar errors, so using a tool like "Grammarly" would help to identify them more easily. There is one detail in particular that I would like to highlight. In the section "The four roles of criminal psychologist", he/she and his/her are used to refer to the pronouns of the criminals. I suggest changing to they/them pronouns because within it, not only men and women are included but also non-binary people. It is inclusive, much easier to write, and does the job.

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]

The article does not contain images, but I would recommend inserting some to improve its appearance. Perhaps some pictures about the studies listed under the "Key Studies" section. Also in "Profiling", because as I mentioned earlier, the information may seem heavy to the reader, but with images that are related to reading, it will be easier and even interesting. astly, if possible, some images from studies that illustrate a comparison between two individuals who committed the same crime, with the difference that one had a mental disorder and the other did not.

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?
  • What are the strengths of the content added?
  • How can the content added be improved?

Overall evaluation

[edit]

In general, the article does need a lot of changes, but the student is doing an excellent job by adding interesting details that would never have occurred to me. I would like to stand out that their notes are very organized and cover a few points that when they become developed, I believe will greatly improve the content of the article. On another note, I saw that they have already implemented some of the suggestions I wrote. I hope my suggestions help them in their process and that they continue the great work.
