Article selection

edit

Hi. I noticed that you assigned yourself the concussion article to improve as part of your assignment. I wanted to let you know that this article is a Good Article, which means that it is among Wikipedia's best work. While there might be room to make a few small improvements to Good Articles, they are going to be more complete, overall, and harder to work on as your first major contribution to Wikipedia. For that reason, I recommend that you pick a different articles to work on - one that have scope for improvement. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:23, 21 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Article Evaluation

edit

This training course helped me to refresh my memory on how to cite properly and how to avoid plagiarism. It was also great to learn how articles on Wikipedia are evaluated based on their perceived quality and what these different evaluations mean.

Chosen Article: Stroke Recovery


I believe that almost every fact is referenced with appropriate sources. However, when the article talks about Constrained-induced therapy, it mentions that it was developed by Rober Oven. I don't think that this is correct because even the "original article" that the Stroke recovery article mentions claims that the development of CI therapy was the work of Dr. Edward Taub.

All the information mentioned in the article is relevant to the topic of stroke recovery and none of the information is biased.

I was not able to spot any plagiarism or close paraphrasing.

There is one crucial set of information missing in this article. Since it is called 'stroke recovery', I think that it should include both, physical and cognitive therapy. Nevertheless, this article only includes information about physical therapy after stroke.

Cognitive rehabilitation after stroke is a young field and that is probably the reason why there is no information about it it.

Concussion

edit

Hi! Welcome to Wikipedia. Great to see you here to help improve Concussion. Although it is rated as a good article, this rating was from many years ago and this article could really benefit from an update. We have shared some suggestions of gaps on the article talk page if you are looking for ideas. Three are many as the evidence has evolved significantly over the past few years so many previous suggested best practices are no longer suggested. If you have any questions or need a second set of eyes let me know. Congratulations on taking this initiaive! It is great to see students here to help.
