Wikipedia Reliability Worksheet

I choose the Wikipedia page on Abortion, since this is a controversial issue I wanted to test out for myself the point of view standard set up by Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales.

1. This article does not have any clean-up banners.

2. This article is written fairly clearly. This article remains neutral and focuses more on the facts of what abortion is and the history of abortion. This article tries to remain neutral, however if you are someone who is a supporter of pro-life might find this article's facts to convey a feeling of support of legalization of abortions, by presenting facts that unsafe abortions lead to a great number of deaths. Yes, all the important facts appear to be referenced. This Wikipedia entry does seem to show both sides as much as possible.

3. Possibly Unreliable Source: I don't understand why this is cited for this Wikipedia article on Abortion.
Friedlander, Henry (1995). The origins of Nazi genocide: from euthanasia to the final solution. Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press. p. 30
Defiantly Unreliable Source: I had a difficult time finding a source that was unreliable, I found sources that really did not appear in the actual article. I found this article which could be considered Unreliable because the author appears to be opinionated and not completely neutral, and the author also does not appear to have any evidence or sources to back her work.  Marcy Bloom (25 February 2008). "Need Abortion, Will Travel". RH Reality Check. Retrieved 2009-06-15. 
Reliable Sources: Most of the sources appear to be reliable this one for example appears reliable. ^ "Documenting Stillbirth (Fetal Death)" (PDF). United States Department of State. 18 February 2011. Archived from the original on 27 June 2011. Retrieved 27 June 2011.

4. I did not see the discussion tab, but I did find the rating scale for this page. Out of about 300-350 ratings this page has received consistent scores of about 3.0-3.4 (Trustworthiness 3.0, Objective 2.9, Complete 3.4, Well-written 3.1). Since there is no discussion tab that I can see, I am unsure of what is being discussed in relation to this article, it's possible they do not have a discussion open to prevent vandalism on a page with such a controversial issue.

5. I think that this article is reliable, I did not see any bias towards or against abortion. The information seemed factual and was all cited according to where the data is coming from. The information for this article seems to come mostly from reliable sources (doctors, studies, associations, and government). None of the information seems false in comparison to the knowledge I have on the subject matter. Compared to other sources, if someone wanted just facts or wanted to find a factual resource on this subject I would suggest the use of Wikipedia. This subject is controversial so most of the information that people will find on the subject can be very biased, that is why I would suggest Wikipedia because they do not want pick any one side on a subject. Furthermore, this Wikipedia article is closed to public changes, you must be a member to make any changes and those changes will have to be validated before implemented.
