Article Evaluation (class assignment)

edit

The article I chose on Wikipedia is titled "Copyright." There are a lot of things to be noted in this article and they are listed as follows:

  • I felt that everything in the article was related to the article, but one thing that distracted me was the introduction. The introduction was so long that it made me kind of skip the article to the main body.
  • On the whole, the article has a pretty neutral standpoint but one thing that i kind of found biased was that whenever there is discussion of eligibility and copyrights, most of the writers bring up Disney. Likewise, this article talks about Mickey Mouse, and the way the character could be used, without being blamed for the copyright.
  • Most of the information in this article is pretty precise, but the "international copyright treaties" are a little too overrepresented. They talk about treaties from 1887, only to mention that they were not implemented until a hundred years later.
  • Most of the citations work except for two or three, and yes, they do support the claims made in the article.
  • Yes, most of the facts are backed up with reliable sources. Let's say there is a rule or law about copyright, the citation states the book in which the law is mentioned or published. Since the reference is just the law, i feel like it is not biased at all.
  • Most of the information is up to date and the information includes stuff from the nineteenth century to latest stuff. Also, the page was last edited on October 6th, 2017.
  • This article does have a talk page. Some people contributed to the talk page by mentioning what details about morals could be added, some people talk about adding new laws or amending the current ones, and some people even asked questions about heir own work: if what they have done was lawful under the copyright law or not.
  • Yes, this article is a part of a lot of WikiProjects, including WikiProject Law, WikiProject Economics, WikiProject Libraries, WikiProject Law Enforcement and others.
  • When we were discussing this article in class, most of the students were presenting their views against the copyright laws, and it was like they want it to be lenient. But the article states the stuff Black and White, there is no grey area.
