Medical Racism

Using this article as a "parent article" I am hoping to develop an article that further explores medical racism in the United States. Although a shorter section, the health section of this article has already begun to describe some of the concepts and examples key to the observance and understanding of medical racism as a whole in the U.S. I've collected some references of interest to the article I will be developing that are listed on my user page. Ijwilliams (talk) 02:22, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

Ijwilliams, are you already aware of Race and health in the United States? Firefangledfeathers (talk) 02:25, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
Yes and I'm hoping to expand further on the concepts presented its sections titled "Racism" and "Inequalities in Healthcare". Some parts of the latter section are very similar to the "Health" section on this page and I think there is more that can be said without making either article too long! Thank you. Ijwilliams (talk) 18:06, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

I have added further details on how I will go about formulating this new article in my sandbox. I welcome any suggestion on how to best approach writing a new article and on this topic especially. I've split my plans into the different sections that I want to include within the article that include different racial/ethnic groups and concepts such as the historical context of this topic and contemporary issues that pertain to medical racism in the United States. Sources are included as well and are included under the section where I plan to utilize it. Ijwilliams (talk) 23:11, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

Scull dimensions

‎MrDemeanour, as mentioned in my edit summary, I gave my reasons for the revert of the paragraph on the scull dimensions on the user's talk page, User_talk:Cmetoyer#Racism in the United States. I know that normally changes should be discussed on the article's talk page, and I want to apologize for the confusion caused. The reason why I did so was that Cmetoyer is a student editor, and so I intended to explain my revert in detail in order not to discourage them. --Rsk6400 (talk) 18:58, 25 October 2021 (UTC)


Sure. I don't want to undermine new editors either. No need to apologise. Your remarks on the editor's talk page are apposite. Thank you for communicating.
FWIW, I'm not invested in this article - I'm very interested in the subject, but based on hard experience, I avoid getting into arguments with other editors on political matters. Life is too short.

Evaluation

The article is written well in the correct tone of voice. It flows smoothly and is arranged well with a solid outline/structure. More visuals can be added to the article, and more substantive information can be inserted into the section being edited. Most importantly, the author needs to be concise in describing the material, as the article is lengthy and droning text will only bore readers (the author isn’t droning and their text is concise; this is just a point to keep in mind.)

evaluation

This article is extremely well written an engulfs all the aspects of racism in the united states. Its chronological structure an easy to read sections allow readers with little knowledge on the subject to understand. My only suggestion would just be to keep growing on what it already here. There are historical acts of tolerance and intolerance pertaining to racism each year in the united states. racism in the United States is always changing so this article must be kept up to date consistently. The author could continue to use scholarly sources which neutrally convey acts of racism in the united states WPGALLO (talk) 16:12, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
