Added this part to the sandbox today. Also added my references to the list at the bottom. Comments are appreciated :) BASc to the future (discuss • contribs) 19:06, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Aaaaaaand I'm already back. Corrected a small capitalisation mistake, added some headers in-between and a lovely schematic of the Bohr model. BASc to the future (discuss • contribs) 19:19, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I linked the Wikipedia pages of all the scientists you've mentioned in your contribution.Kyoshiwarrior (discuss • contribs) 17:19, 5 November 2020 (UTC)Kyoshiwarrior

Added my contribution to the sandbox today after researching for a few days. I looked mostly into the potential faults in evidence gathered for epidemiological studies, wondering if I should have focused more on the actual evidence collection methods.. Thoughts?

 * I saw the one reference is used twice, I put them together so it only appears once in the reference list.Kuramae (discuss • contribs) 15:05, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi guys. Lost all the progress I made on my bit of the sandbox for Evidence so quickly redid that. Would love to know your thoughts! Kyoshiwarrior (discuss • contribs) 20:59, 2 November 2020 (UTC)Kyoshiwarrior


 * From 11er467va to the author of The problem of evidence distorted by the lack of data on women in medical research

Really insightful contribution which highlighted a key issue with extrapolating conclusions drawn from men, to women! My only comments would be to potentially revise the title as it is a bit clunky, and perhaps consider including the terms alpha and beta bias (they're typically used in psychology but I feel could be really applicable here!). There's also a few occasions where 'further' could be used instead of 'also' and 'apart from', just to make it sound a bit more formal :)

Thank you for your comments and help ! I am going to work on the formal part. If you have any Idea for the title please feel free to change it, I am not sure to understand clearly the terms alpha and beta bias, so I think that you would do a better job than me !

 * As an afterthought, I remember watching a Ted Talk about a female sports coach and sports doctor who realised that all the studies she used for researching ways to recover better and best practice / train for competitive sports only used men as study participants, as a coach for female sports teams she realised that the data was almost non-applicable to her teams. This led her to begin her own sports / physiological research using female athletes as participants and found really insightful conclusions that changed her training her methods. Might be interesting to look into as well. Brokentelevision2020 (discuss • contribs) 16:14, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

I've gone over all the citations of this page and the Truth page. These are the things I changed (and might be of interest to some of you): I hope that clears up some misunderstandings in the citation structure.
 * The in-text citation is placed after the dot, so: "this is information from a website. "
 * If you're using one source twice in-text, you can use the same reference. So: no need to have the same source as [1],[3] and [4]. Just using [1] three times is fine.

I also added hyperlinks to Wikipedia for subjects that were considered general knowledge, but might not be.


 * Thanks this is very helpful. Brokentelevision2020 (discuss • contribs)

Evidence in Geography: Defining Water Scarcity I found this piece very well structured. I was thinking about adding two maps to the article comparing the results world wide of the two measures of Water Scarcity in order to underline the issues of subjectivity of the measures. What do you think ? Uclqmtr (discuss • contribs)
 * Yes, sure please go ahead. --Kuramae (discuss • contribs) 15:27, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
