Tuesday In Class Work[edit]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethel_Dench_Puffer_Howes

Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Yes, there are many references listed and used in this article.

Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you? No. The article included elements of Ethel Dench Puffer Howes' influences on Psychology as well as Feminism and discussed her struggles and accomplishments within both fields at the time.

Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? Yes, while the article states the many obstacles Ethel faced in her career as a female, it does not claim any opinion on the topic. However, some might see a bias in stating that Howes was pushing the boundaries of socially imposed limitations on women.

Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that biased noted? The information comes from secondary sources. For example, psychology journals or books discussing American feminism.

Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? The feminist viewpoint is overrepresented in this article, but for a reason. Psychology and feminism were this woman's life and to not heavily discuss these two topics in her article would misrepresent her life.

Check a few citations. Do the links work? Is there any close paraphrasing or plagiarism in the article? Every link I clicked on took me to the correct site or place. I do not believe this article contains any plagiarism.

Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added? This article is very thorough and contains extensive information regarding Howes' personal, professional and scholarly life. However, it is by no means the longest Wikipedia article I have seen and I am sure there could be more information added to it.
