Week 2: Article Choice: Mexican-American Women's National Association
I chose to write an article for the Mexican-American Women's National Association, known as MANA, a Latina advocacy and empowerment organization. I plan on using references to MANA in other Wikipedia articles, primary sources (including MANA's official website), other encyclopedias, and the sources from the aforementioned articles to create MANA's Wikipedia article.

Article Evaluation: Mercy Otis Warren
Article relevance/distractions
 * Lead paragraph (and rest of article) contains a lot of short, simple sentences and doesn't flow
 * Ie. "In the eighteenth century, topics such as politics and war were thought to be the province of men. Few men and fewer women had the education or training to write about these subjects. Warren was an exception." in the LEAD

 * High amount of quotations interspersed that appear in almost every paragraph
 * A few of them do emphasize or prove a point, but many of them are distracting and don't fit into the article; additionally, Wikipedia recommends not including quotations

Opinions in article
 * Paragraph for The Adulateur is an analysis of the play, draws conclusions (also has no citations)
 * End of section on revolutionary writings has clear opinion
 * "Warren was one of the most convincing Patriots in the Revolution and her works inspired others to become Patriots."
 * Summary paragraph is extremely biased
 * Reads like the summary of an essay
 * "Warren proved her ability to resonate to her colonial audience, men and women alike, despite the limited opportunity for women in her time. Furthermore, she proved courageous in being willing to put forth work calling out the authoritative power while raising a family, yet she was humble and practical in how she presented the commentary through quieter presentations. Her success was never above her personal dignity. She never took any political affiliation post-Revolution or a career having anything to do with politics. She said to her son, “The thorns, the thistles, and the briers, in the field of politics seldom permit the soil to produce anything… but ruin to the adventurer,” yet the public would not let her retire from commentating on the political conflicts of her later days. She concentrated her writing on strict political matters wrote many more short dramas, poems, and essays throughout wartime and post-Revolution with a commentating and critical voice"

Citations
 * Some of the quotes the author claims are from Mercy's letters have no citations whatsoever
 * Paragraph for The Adulateur seems to be analyzing & drawing conclusions about the play; has no citations

'''Citation 10: "Mercy Otis Warren, conscience of the American Revolution." Introduction to the work of Mercy Otis Warren. Retrieved February 18, 2008.'''
 * Upon further examination of this source and the website hosting it, this is not from "Mercy Otis Warren, conscience of the American Revolution"
 * This citation links to a general introduction on Warren by a Fairfield Philosophy professor, King Dykeman, who claims to have given this general introduction at a conference at the University of Santa Cruz at some point before this submission in 2002. The website hosting it is not an academic journal or reliable source- it is a website for Richard Seltzer, a self-proclaimed publisher and author.
 * Multiple uses of this "source" throughout the Wikipedia article
 * One of these is actually a biased claim that the article doesn't even prove (first PP in Revolutionary Writings and Politics)

Talk Page
 * Not many comments; none since 2015
 * One comment compares this article to book version of "Old MacDonald Had a Farm"

My Edits:

Rana Husseini is an award-winning Jordanian journalist and human rights activist who exposed honour crimes in Jordan and campaigned for stronger legal penalties against perpetrators. She became a published author in 2009 with her book, Murder in the Name of Honor: The True Story of One Woman's Heroic Fight Against An Unbelievable Crime (Oneworld Publications).

Husseini has been an active journalist and activist since 1993, when she began working for The Jordan Times. Her work caused the 1998 formation of the National Jordanian Committee to Eliminate so-called Crimes of Honor and influenced the 2007 fatwa in Jordan stating that honor killings are against religious law. She has served as a regional coordinator for the United Nation's Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) and as an advisor to the U.S. government-funded human rights organization Freedom House.

She has received multiple local and international awards including: a medal from Jordan's King Abdullah II in 2007, the Ida B. Wells award for Bravery in Journalism in 2003, the Human Rights Watch Award in 2000, the Reebok Human Rights Award in 1998, and the MEDNEWS prize award for best article in 1995. She is also featured in Kerry Kennedy's book Speak Truth to Power: Human Rights Defenders Who Are Changing Our World.

She is currently a senior reporter at The Jordan Times.

Evaluating Sources: Mercy Otis Warren
Within the past few weeks, the Wikipedia article for Mercy Otis Warren has been edited and improved. Looking back at it, the sources are mainly bibliographies with some historical books on women in the Revolution or the American Revolution. With the exception of one, the article's sources are unbiased, academic, and trustworthy.

The one outlier is the same citation I referenced when evaluating the article, "Mercy Otis Warren, conscience of the American Revolution" from Introduction to the work of Mercy Otis Warren. It is still a random man's site, where he posted an introduction by a Fairfield Philosophy professor, King Dykeman, who claims to have given this general introduction at a conference at the University of Santa Cruz at some point before this submission in 2002. It is not an academic, published, well-known, or trustworthy source and doesn't fit the Wikipedia requirements.

Adding to an Article: Oveta Culp Hobby
Copied & Pasted from viewing history:

During World War II she headed the War Department's Women's Interest Section for a short time and then became the Director of the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (later the Women's Army Corps ), which was created to fill gaps left by a shortage of men. The members of the WAC were the first women other than nurses to wear U.S. Army uniforms and to receive military benefits through the GI Bill. Hobby devoted herself to integrating the WAAC within the military, despite considering women's military involvement a temporary necessity, and worked to protect and strengthen the WAC and its image. As Director, she raised admission standards and created a Code of Conduct specific to the WAC to create a tightly regulated, high quality organization that portrayed women 's corps in a good light. These standards, along with actions to guard the morals and image of members, developed from Hobby's prior experience with publicity and knowledge of the importance of media representation .{{cite .....

In 1931, she married former  Governor  of  Texas William P. Hobby , editor  and  future  owner of the   Houston Post    , and took a position on  the  editorial staff at the Post. They had two children together. In ensuing years she became the newspaper's executive vice president, then its president, ultimately becoming its publisher and co-owner with her husband.

Did you know that MANA is one of the oldest continuously active Latinx-American advocacy organizations in the United States?

You can't submit an article for DYK until it is published and at least 1,500 words, according to the handout with instructions, so I was not able to submit this for a nomination as of now, but here it is!

Lightning Bolt (roller coaster)

Lightning Bolt was a steel family roller coaster that operated at MGM Grand Adventures Theme Park in Paradise, Nevada until the park's closure in 2000. Manufactured by Intamin, the ride opened at the park in 1993 as an indoor roller coaster before being renovated in 1997 and expanded outdoors.

History
In 1993, Lightning Bolt first opened during the grand opening of MGM Grand Adventures Theme Park. The ride was classified as an indoor roller coaster, as it never traveled outside. In 1997, the ride was renovated and expanded outdoors, adding a second lift hill and expanding the overall length of the roller coaster from 1,100 feet to 2,400 feet.

Closure
In September of 2002, it was announced that MGM Grand Adventures Theme Park, along with all of its rides, would be closed to make space for condos and a swimming pool. Lightning Bolt was taken down piece by piece as it would be attempted to be relocated to Granite Park in Fresno, California before that theme park closed as well. The roller coaster sat there for years before finally being scrapped sometime after 2010.

Sinocyamodus

Sinocyamodus is an extinct genus of placodont reptile from the Late Triassic (Tuvalian) Xiaowa Formation of China. Only one species, Sinocyamodus xinpuensis, is currently assigned to this genus. This genus was the first placodont to be discovered in the eastern Tethys, overthrowing traditional views that the group was restricted to the western Tethys.

The first adult specimen of this genus was reported in 2018, and showed a number of morphological differences with previously discovered sub-adult material indicating developmental changes with age.

Name of island
"is a Shinto shrine on Itsukushima Island"

Isn't the island actually called Miyajima????

 * Yes, it is often called Miyajima. But the actual name of the island is Itsukushima. More information is in the article on the island itself. I've put in a link so that interested people will be able to find it more easily. Thanks for pointing out the need for additional explanation. Fg2 00:32, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

 * I added "popularly known as Miyajima" to the article, because I was also somewhat confused when looking after the name of the island. --Cyfal (talk) 13:48, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

The man made nature of the bay
Recently it was discovered that the bay may have been artificially made. This might affect the Heritage listing. I only have a TV segment to on on this one. Anybody have anything on this? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Signature103 (talk • contribs) 09:38, 8 January 2007 (UTC).

Itsukushima and the atomic bombing of Hiroshima
I was curious about how the Bomb's little visit to Hiroshima affected the shrine. I couldn't find much in the way of reports about this event. I went to Google Earth, and concluded after careful inspection that the shrine would have been shaded by part of Miyajima/Itsukushima (the island) from the blast, and that what might have been seen was a glow reflecting off the hills across the bay from the shrine, but I'm not sure if the blast was below the horizon or not. Since there was no mention of rebuilding the shrine in the record (indeed, the shrine, from the little I did find on the subject matter, apparently served as a refuge for hibakusha about a month after the bombing), that there was little or no damage to the shrine itself from the weapon. But I'm curious as to why nobody seems to mention this shrine closer to the time of the bombing, given Itsukushima's proximity to Hiroshima. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:16, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Update. Even if it had faced the blast, there would've been little or no damage. The damage area didn't even leave the delta itself (the one Hiroshima sat on), while Itsukushima is further away. But, all the same, wouldn't there have been a boom or something like that? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:23, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

 * The Bank of Japan building in Hiroshima is located 500 m from ground zero. It reopened for business a couple of days after the bombing and is still standing (although the bank no longer occupies the building). Itsukushima Shrine is much, much more distant; it should have been safe from the blast. I don't know how far away the sound was heard. Intriguing question! If you find the answer, we'll be interested to know. Fg2 (talk) 02:11, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Reopening after typhoon damage
When did the shrine reopen after Typhoon Songda in 2005? I imagine it is reopened by now, but the article does not seem 100% clear on that matter. LordAmeth (talk) 21:31, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Image was accidentally removed
I wanted to save the image, but the buttons on my laptop did not work properly, and the image was removed by accident. How do I revert the edit? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 17:33, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Never mind, upload.wikimedia.org was accidentally added in my "Blocked Images" list. There is no reverting needed. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 03:53, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Signifcance of the toriii
A previous editor had made the claim that the two auxiliary posts (on each leg of the torii) were placed there for practical reasons, viz., to give the torii more strength against the force of the ocean tide. While I can imagine that the posts might have that effect, I have never seen the claim made in Japanese that that was their purpose. The torii style is a ryobu torii, and there are plenty of that style in land-bound situations where no special external forces are at play. It's virtually impossible to imagine that the shrine made a connection with Shingon Buddhism specifically because it would allow the shrine to use a ryobu torii. SFAIK, the style is meant to symbolize the "dual" nature of truth as displayed by the Shingon ryobu mandala. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hokuto (talk • contribs) 12:09, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Categorization
Category:12th-century religious buildings is a container cat, but I'm not sure which subcat is appropriate for this. --Slivicon (talk) 20:44, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

Torii "gate"
In several instances in the article body and image captions, the torii is referred to as a "torii gate". Is this not redundant? - Bri (talk) 17:27, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

Literature
I'd suggest adding a section on the importance of Itsukushima Shrine on Japanese classical literature. The text mentions Kiyomori's dream. Well, this whole story is depicted in minute detail in what is deemed to be one of Japan's most celebrated works, namely, the Heike Monogatari. Not only the dream, but the Taira clan's numerous visit to the shrine are described. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:17, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

Redundant?
The first two paragraphs introducing the topic seems to be redundant. In the first paragraph it says "The shrine complex is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Japanese government has designated several buildings and possessions as National Treasures.” However in the second paragraph it is said again: "The complex is also listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and six of its buildings and possessions have been designated by the Japanese government as National Treasures.” I feel like the first sentence should be deleted or shortened to avoid repetition.

Looking at Google hits touchier and touchiest seem more usual than more touchy and most touchy. <IP_ADDRESS> 16:10, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Unexpected (2015 film)

Unexpected is a 2015 American drama film directed by Kris Swanberg, and co-written by Swanberg and Megan Mercier. It stars Cobie Smulders as a teacher at an inner city Chicago high school who unintentionally becomes pregnant. One of her students, Jasmine (Gail Bean), is also unexpectedly pregnant, and the two bond through planning their futures. The film had its world premiere at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival on January 25, 2015. The film was released in a limited release and released video on demand on July 24, 2015, by The Film Arcade.

Swanberg took about two years to write the film's script. The film was shot in West Humboldt Park and East Garfield Park, Chicago, but takes place in Englewood.
