Gender identity Review

Almost every sentence or claim in this Wikipedia article references credible sources such as books, research studies, and news articles. However, there are some statements, especially in the "Medical field" section, that need citations and references. I think that the information discussed in this article is relevant to the main topic of gender identity. However, I find the last section on "Alternate Gender Identities" ill placed in the article. I think it would be better to use the content, which describes multiple gender roles in past and current ethnic cultures, as support or examples of throughout the article in sections such as "Gender Variance and non-conformance". The article is neutral and does a good job of stating facts instead of making an argument. The neutral sources that were mostly used were experiments, research, journals, and books. There were references and explanations on the conflicting beliefs of psychologists, experts, and researchers on the topic, but the article does not necessarily describe which beliefs are better or what beliefs the reader should believe. Most sections in the article are at least one paragraph long. However, "Butler’s views" only contains one sentence and is underrepresented. The citations I checked do work and do not show plagiarism. Overall, the article is relevant to our current time and covers the basics of gender identity. Cqchacon (talk) 23:15, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hunter-gatherer This article has very long sentences. To improve the article, maybe some sentences could be separated to provide more clarity. I edited this article by inserting a semi-colon and commas into a sentence to separate words that were being listed. Although this was a minor grammatical error that I edited, it is still important. This week our class learned about ethos and credibility. Grammatical errors ruin ethos. For this reason, any grammatical error that is fixed helps restore ethos. This article is relatively short, and needs more sources. At a glance, there are many "citations needed" after sentences. The sources and references that are provided are reliable. Many of these sources are books, journals, and articles. Using credible sources for support also establishes ethos between the writer and reader.Cqchacon (talk) 01:17, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
