Article evaluation
The article that I chose: A New Day Cambodia (ANDC)
- Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?
The topic is really interesting. I've never heard about this kind of organization before. The article actually is short, as a result, from my prescriptive, all the information in the article is relevant to the article topic, and I didn't find anything that distracted me.
- Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
The article only introduce the history of ANDC and share some other readings that related to this topic. The "history" section is neutral, there are not claim nor frames. Moreover, there are not heavily biased appear in the article, but one thing that confused me is that the whole "history" section just talk about how the photographer's background and how he built this organization. There is only few information about the orgnazation and the members.
- Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
The article is heavily underrepresented. I have many questions to ask after I read through this whole Wikipedia page.
- Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?
No, no sources edited.
- Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?
No, there is no reliable reference in this article. There are three linkages under the article, they direct to ANCD's official website, a YouTube video and an unidentified website.
- Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?
Yes, there are many things that still missing but could be edit more about. For example, I wonder how does the organization works? Who is the organization's leader? Do they have any pictures? The structure of the organization...
- Check out the Talk page of the article. What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?
There are not conversation.
- How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?
Yes, this page is a part of Cambodia wikiproject and other Cambodia articles. In addition, it is also a part of Chicago
- How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?
This article is not a good-quality wikipedia article. First, it doesn't include pictures and labels. The article introduce the primary founder of the ANDC; he is a photographer, but there are no pictures of his portrait or the photos that he shot in Cambodia. Then, there are not reliable sources in the article. Next, the article has no structures, consists of only one part.
'Finalize your project / Find your sources'Bold text
Make sure you're assigned to your article (will do in class) Yes, my group has assigned for The Black Star Project and Imerman Angles.
In your sandbox, write a few sentences about what you plan to contribute to the selected article. I agreed with my group mates made their choices. The Black Star Project sounds highly interesting to me. Chicago as a whole is a highly diverse community, the program is not only focus on Black community but also Latinos. There are many different programs include academic, mentoring and parents program. I don't know much about Imerman Angles, and there is not an article on Wikipedia, and I think it is necessary.
Think back to when you did an article critique. What can you add? Post some of your ideas to the article's talk page, too. Compile a list of relevant, reliable sources sources. Post that bibliography to the talk page of the article you'll be working on, and in your sandbox. Make sure to check in on the Talk page to see if anyone has advice on your bibliography.
There are much information that we can add on the Wikipedia article. First of all, we should read throng the official website and put more useful and helpful information. We should add a general introduction about the Black Star Project. Then, add different programs that mentions in the Black Star Project's website. Finally, looking for more reliable sources and make Wikipedia page better. http://www.blackstarproject.org/index.php/about.html
I also have question that why the website's meager, leaders or workers from the organization didn't edit or put things that relevant in this Wikipedia page. Or just simply ask people for help.
