Talk:Colpocleisis

"In older women who are no longer sexually active..." should say "in women who no longer desire penetrative sexual intercourse..."

Reasoning: 1. Women of any age may be candidates for this surgery (i.e. having pelvic organ prolapse can affect younger women as well) 2. Associating sexual activity with age is biased: many young women are not sexually active; many older women are sexually active 3. Sexual activity is much more than just penis-in-vagina intercourse. For example, it may include oral or anal sex, clitoral stimulation by a partner, mutual masturbation, caresses, etc. etc.EliGodfrey (talk) 17:31, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

Work Plan

I plan on updating and improving this article this month. I want to include the following sections: Introduction/summary, indications, procedure, complications/procedural risks, society and culture. I will use a variety of peer-reviewed journal articles and will cite every source. I plan to keep the tone of the article neutral, as well as use sources that have a neutral tone and are unbiased. I will also imbed links to other wikipedia articles that are relevant or may help someone further understand the material.

Hi Sugarcookie27,

This is my review for your article revisions.  First of all, way to go!

I did not find any material that was irrelevant to the article. You kept the content short and to the point.  Your article follows your work plan reasonably well. I did not find any sentences over suggested 26 word limit.

I appreciated you included why some cultures still perform FGM despite the lack of health benefits.  Some might have found it difficult to not let their emotions influence how they wrote that part.

The viewpoints you share seem reasonably neutral in terms of representation.  However, I wonder if some mention of other additinal demographic groups might be warranted.  

All of your citations link to appropriate and reliable sources.   Each paragraph shows a supporting article.  The support for your mateiral came from a variety of sources including medical journals, a systematic review, Cleveland Clinic and the World Health Organization.   Each of these references seemed to have a mostly neutral tone with minimum bias.  Your information appears to be current without anything major missing.

Suggestions for improvement

1. It seemed the article was geared more towards the medical community instead of the average person.  If you were to make it easier to understand, you could reword or define the words “obliterative” and “everted”. However, if you meant it for the medical community then no worries there.
2. Maybe mention the frequency of other demographics besides white and elderly who undergo the colpocleisis procedure.  Perhaps include a comment on why such differences exist, if any.
3. Wikipedia still lists your article as a “stub”.  I remember our instructor mentioned stubs should reach at least a “class C” type article when we are done.  We will have to ask how each of our articles do not currently qualify for c-class already…
