[edit]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Interuniversity_Sport_women%27s_ice_hockey
1. Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference?
Yes, each fact is based with an appropriate reliable source. Each source is backed with CIAU based cites, such as award ceremonies and multiple books involving Canadian's Women Hockey.
2. Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?
Everything is relevant to this topic including a very nice flow with the article. Everything is put into appropriate places and it also uses charts and pictures to really lay out the structure of this Women's hockey league. The awards and honors section towards the bottom of the article could be left out due to the fact that it is about the league and which teams participate rather then individual performance.
3. Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
This article is indeed neutral of all aspects of the CIAU league. There are not any frames that are biased, the author does a nice job of balancing the article and keeping it league based not team based.
4. Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that biased noted?
All the sources are neutral, and they come from team sites that are in the CIAU. Each separate division or conference has their own page where information is gathered to base the entire CIAU off of.
5. Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
I believe the individual awards are over representing because this is solely the interuniversity sports page similar to the NCAA where they do not present every individual award given in the football season on their Wiki page.
6. Check a few citations. Do the links work? Is there any close paraphrasing or plagiarism in the article?
The links do work and provide a plethora of information to back their specific facts up. There is no specific close paraphrasing or plagiarism in this article, overall well written in my perspective.
7. Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?
All of the information is in good date because it is based off of a past year so updating is not necessary because of the year happened and nothing will be changing. I believe everything that needs to be here is here and it is a very well written article.

Annotated Bibliography on Theresa Florence by Cody McCoy
[edit]I am creating a Wikipedia page for Theresa Florence, a young girl her was exploited into human trafficking and was home every night without her parents even knowing the harm that was being done.
"The Sex-Slave Across the Street." The Sex-Slave Across the Street. Web. 2 Apr. 2015.
- Theresa Flores was a young 15 year old girl who was living in Detroit, Michigan. One day a boy she had a crush on offered her a ride home so she accepted. Once they were in the car the boy drove her to her house and proceeded to sexually victimize Theresa by drugging her and then raping her. She then was informed the next day that the boys older cousin had taken pictures of the sexual act and will use them for black mail unless Theresa "worked it off." She did just that for the next 2 years of her life, being called upon at the traffickers will, in the middle of the night, school, whatever it was she was expected to be there or else bad things were to come.
"TEDx Columbus » Theresa Flores." TEDx Columbus. Web. 2 Apr. 2015.
- Theresa has been a licensed counselor for over 20 years now.
- She received her Bachelor Degree from Ball State University and continued her education later achieving her Masters degree from Dayton University.
- Also she is the spokeswoman and Director of Gracehaven House which is a faith based home/ rehab center for girls under the age of 18 who have been affected by human trafficking.
- Theresa was also put into charge of the Ohio Attorney Generals Commissions study which has been a major principle in passing SB235 which supports human trafficking legislation.
- Mrs. Flores has published two books being "The Sacred Bath" and also "The Slave Across the Street." The later of the two was nominated for the Audie award in 2011 being in the top 5 of all memoirs and biographies.
"Former Teen Sex Slave Says Trafficking Common." TODAY.com. 13 Feb. 2009. Web. 2 Apr. 2015.
- Trafficking isn't what many think by taking women to another country, a majority of the problems today consist of local neighbors trafficking young woman without family or friends even noticing, or being to scared to do something about it because of the consequences they tell the girls will happen to them and their family members.
- Blackmailing these young women into forcing them to be a sex slave is the main way, using scare tactics so media of the acts aren't released promoting public humiliation.
- Family members don't notice any changes besides the normal teenage changes such as dropping of grades, and being tired. Parents just believe it is hormones because of the adolescent years and the girls are so ashamed they don't want to tell their parents.
"IT DAWNED ON ME." IT DAWNED ON ME. Web. 2 Apr. 2015.
- There are only 39 beds in the entire U.S. for girls from America, there are more resources in the U.S. for foreign girls being trafficked than our own American girls.
- She is now a mother of three and a huge inspiration to many and a huge part of the awareness coming about throughout the country.
"Theresa Flores." Theresa Flores. Web. 2 Apr. 2015.
- She is the founder of an organization called "SOAP" or also known as Save Our Adolescents from Prostitution.
- Their mission is to rescue young woman from being trafficked and also providing them a number to call, and to further educate hotels and motels on specific signs of trafficking and what to look for in suspicious activity relating to this.
- SOAP is also in partnership with BE FREE DAYTON which distributes millions of bars of soap with a red band also stamping the soap with the national human trafficking hotline, they give these bars of soap to high octane areas such as super bowl locations and other major events free of charge to the hotels in that area.
"How a Motel Soap Bar Can save a Teenage Runaway or Prostitute." Detroit Free Press. Web. 2 Apr. 2015.'
- The SOAP organization "approaches hotels and motels where they wouldn't normally approach"
- Out of 95 places approached about using their bars of soap 86 places accepted giving them a total of at least 17,000 total bars of soap. They expect to get some calls in the near future
- There are many new laws in the state of Michigan on human trafficking just from Theresa's contributions and her personal story, awareness is at an all time high but needs to continue to grow.
