Article Evaluation --[White supremacy]

Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you? The majority information presented in the WHite supremacist article is relevant aside from the "Relationships with black separatist groups" section. I didn't understand how relevant that section was to the topic of white supremacy. Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? The article is included in a series titled "discrimination", so there seems to be bias against the white supremacy. Neutral wording is used but not empathsized. Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? No, all viewpoints are equally represented. Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article? Links are relevant to the topic. Sources provide examples of white supremacy at work.

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? Many sources are derived from academic libraries' website, especially the history sections. Academic libaries' information is very accurate. 

Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added? No, the information presented isn't out-of-date considering the history of white supremscy. Most of the information provided is relevant, in some way.

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? 

How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects? There are mixed conservations on the Talk page. Some state that the article is very well written, bit could use more current information regarding white supremacy. Some reviews thought the article had poor sources that weren't well written. How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class? The topic is discussed in more debt than we would cover in class due to time constraints.

LGBT-affirming groups LGBT-affirming groups are religious groups that recongize and welcome LGBT members and do not consider homosexuality a sin. Various religions have called homosexuality a "sin", and an "abomination". This message has driven people of the gay community away from churches and their own faiths. Instead of trying to claim a space within religious groups, many people of the gay community are seeking gay-affirming churches or religious groups. The emergence of "gay-friendly" churches is a recent phonomenon, where people who are LGBT have a safe space to practice their faiths and to be comfortable being themselves. Some churches and religious will only accept religious groups with limitations, such as many Christians recommend that people of the LGBT community ought to be celibate. Because homosexuality is viewed as a "condition", that may interfere with important areas of the person's life, there is pressure for LGBT people to seek spirtual and psychological help as well. While there is an abundunce of celebrity allies for LGBT groups, there aren't many famous people of specific religious groups who openly speak up for gay civil rights. There aren't many religious sectors that are opening up their doors to the gay-friendly community. This topic is relevant to be explored because as more places are more accepting to people of the LGBT community, there are still many areas where gay people are shunned, such as churches, private business, etc. The necessity of having gay-friendly spaces will encourage more places to allow safe spaces to people of the LGBT community, in the hope that people of the gay community will be accepted more widely.JayKMPix (talk) 04:46, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
