Article Evaluation

Notes on Public Health Article: - Some citations seem to be missing, especially in the intro heading. Some information is claimed without any kind of reference (i.e. the disparity in public health between developed countries and developing countries. - Background heading assumes some of the information presented is well-known (not needing a reference), but without the reference, the information does not seem neutral. - The current practices heading provides neutral information from both sides but sometime forgets to add citations for the statements. Also, at the end of some of the sections, there would be a claim that seemed more argumentative than neutral, posing some kind of questioning for the article as a whole. - Overall, article is good for what it is. It provides good information, but not enough about the different aspects of public health. That is why it is not a featured article despite its importance to medicine and the scientific fields.

Notes on Sugar Substitute article: - Missing many citations/references of much of the scientific information presented. - Overall, the article sticks to the facts/characteristics of sugar substitutes. The section, however, on health effects did not seem appropriate for this article because most of the article is based on the scientific characteristics of sugar substitutes. - The article does not meet the "good article" criteria, demonstrating that it still needs some more work in terms of the content and references provided

Notes on Vietnamese Tuberculosis: - Not very developed at all - Considered a stub - Possibly not well known and that is why there has not been a bother to add information to this article

Response to Article Evaluation and Discussion on Content Gaps

All three articles have their pros and cons in terms of content and how reliable they are. The public health article is the most developed of them all with more work needed on citations to claims made about the importance of public health. Furthermore, because public health is such as large subject, it also needs further development of ideas within this article. References used within this article seem to work well. Aside from the need for more information on the subject and more citations, this article can become very important for those getting acclimated to the background of public health. The second article on sugar substitutes seems to stick a lot to the scientific characteristics of sugar substitutes. There is not a good balance between health effects of sugar substitutes and their scientific characteristics. This article needs a lot of work done on it in terms of citations behind the science presented in this article as well as a larger development of sugar substitutes as part of our health. The third article is the one that needs the most work because it is simply a stub. It might be kind of difficult to have information added considering the topic is very narrow, but this article needs major work for it to be reliable.

These article are prime examples of the discussions behind "content gaps." These content gaps are seemingly missing information from an article. They seem to always arise in may articles due to the nature of topics being broad and open, allowing for much information to be added. As long as any Wikipedian has enough experience to understand that their post must reliable and verifiable, they can write on Wikipedia. This system of making sure posts are reliable, allows for unbiased posts that solely stick to providing multiple viewpoints and the facts and definitions related to a specific subject. The nature of Wikipedia allowing the influx of information from all over the world is what makes sure all these content gaps are filled.

Possible Topics/Articles For Wikipedia

AIDS in Latin America (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HIV/AIDS_in_Latin_America)

For this article I plan to add more than simple statistics to the article. More than anything I want to stick to the subject of AIDS in Latin America by also discussing the reasons why the statistics are present in the manner that they are. I will certainly avoid the political issues with this article but will rather develop an article that uses literature to understand the source of HIV/AIDS in Latin America.

For this article, I plan to focus on the lack of regulation to protect workers and their health. Aside from using statistics that only demonstrate workers are having health problems due to work conditions, I plan to expand on these statistics to find out different perspectives on why this happens. Furthermore, I will analyzes this from a public health perspective to ensure that the health and safety of workers are always discussed and avoid any kind of politics related to the issue. By beginning with a history of health and safety in agriculture and expanding to the sources of these problems, this broad article can cover man topics.
