Article Evaluation: Iron Superoxide Dismutase
[edit]- This article is about editing the page on Superoxide Dismutase.
- Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?
- Unfortunately (Or excitingly, because it means I have the opportunity to make a new Wikipedia page!) there is no page for Iron Superoxide Dismutase. However, the page about Superoxide Dismutase, in general, is rather focused. I found it very informative.
- Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
- I saw no bias in this article.
- Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
- I'm not sure what kind of viewpoints would be appropriate in this article. It is more based on scientific fact and less on an event or a publication, etc.
- Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?
- The sources that I examined seemed to be pretty good. I do wish the page relied more on primary literature. Although reviews are an easier option, because they are conglomerates of primary literature, giving the first source is usually more reliable.
- Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?
- This page seems to rely mostly on scientific journals/books/reviews. I did not notice any biased sources.
- Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?
- This page was first made in 2016, and the subject itself is relatively new. Based on what I know about superoxide dismutase, I did not see anything that raised a red flag. In fact, I'm curious about the other aspects, about the uses in cosmetic industry and commercial sources, that don't relate specifically to my molecule.
- Check out the Talk page of the article. What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?
- These edits seem to be very harsh. However, they mostly have very good insight. The edits have to do with formatting, style, specificity, and adding citations. I agree that the article could use improving. It is far from perfect and could be more detailed. I wish there was more about my molecule.
- How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?
- This article is a part of the WikiProject Molecular and Cell Biology, it is C-Class and is of low importance. It is also part of WikiProject Biophysics and is a B-Class and low importance.
- How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?
- We have not discussed this subject in class thus far.
