This user is a student editor in Wikipedia:Wiki_Ed/Yale/Issues_in_Medicine__and_Public_Health_(Fall,_2017).
Student assignments should always be carried out using a course page set up by the instructor. It is usually best to develop assignments in your sandbox. After evaluation, the additions may go on to become a Wikipedia article or be published in an existing article.

Welcome!

Hello, Eqw55, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Feedback

Nice work on your draft. A few minor formatting things need fixing

References go after punctuation, not before
Section headers should use sentence capitalization - only the first word and proper nouns should be capitalized

You could also add more links to other articles. Terms that the average reader might not be very familiar with should be linked the first time they appear in the article.

Finally, the Modern-day examples could use some additional sourcing. One source, that's basically a list of statements and rebuttals isn't ideal - you should try to find a source that discusses these things in context, and report upon that context.
