Review in November 2017

Hi Rachel

I think you have a great start, but you still need to flesh some things out a bit more.

Firstly, i think your idea of describing the difference between small data and big data is a great starting point, but you need to make it flow less like an essay and more like a wikipedia article. Explaining it this way, in my opinion, would offer you a bit more of an encyclopedic tone to your article, which I think is lacking.

Your outline is essentially just the topics you want to cover and i will assume is not done, and I'm sure you'll be adding more to them. I think the topics you'll be looking to cover will flesh out these sections and make them stand out effectively. That being said, be careful how you approach them, seeing as this seemed a bit more like an essay in terms of structure than an article.

Finally, your sources are exactly what the article needs. I hope you'll be able to find everything you need from them.

Good luck with your article and have fun!

Big Data Ethics - Peer Review by Mo

edit

I think you have a great start. I would suggest adding more to the lead in regards to what is data ethics, maybe by just simply linking another page which describes data ethics itself. In regard to the areas of work you will be going in to, I think you have a very solid foundation. Perhaps even look into some of the specific companies that abuse big data, and even how it plays a role in marketing. Youtube and Facebook ads likely come from data collection, so maybe look into the ethical side of how that data is collected. Overall, I think you have an awesome article coming along. Good luck! — Preceding unsigned comment added by MoEldali (talkcontribs) 04:48, 9 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

Cappa's Peer Review

edit

First, what does the article do well?

Is there anything from your review that impressed you? Any turn of phrase that described the subject in a clear way?

What changes would you suggest the author apply to the article? Why would those changes be an improvement?

What's the most important thing the author could do to improve the article?

Did you notice anything about the article you reviewed that could be applicable to your own article? Let them know! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Michael paul72 (talkcontribs) 11:36, 9 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hi Rachel,

I see your approach to Big data ethics is off to a great start. However, you could further improve your existing content. Make sure you begin your section with a definition to what data ethics is rather than a difference between what Big and small data is. It gives the reader an immediate understanding about the article name. Also, you can simply just add your types of data in another section and call it ‘types’. Categorizing your articles will make it more efficient towards readers. Since this is a draft, it is understandable that your sections are not complete. But make sure to explain your sections by providing a definition of each section. For instance, Data ownership, explain a bit about what it is rather than just going straight to the issues with it. It will make you article much more understandable again from a readers’ point of view. 

Other than that, excellent work on finding good sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Malaikarebello (talkcontribs) 19:19, 12 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

Possible article overlap

edit

Hi Rachelmf6, I took a look at the article and I've made some tweaks to the content to get it to fit the style on Wikipedia a little better. Something to be careful about is to make sure that you show where this is independent from information ethics, as it could be argued that this somewhat falls within that sphere as a subset. (IE, they could say that this is a smaller part of a larger whole.) You may want to potentially merge this into that article for that reason, especially as both articles are fairly short.

Not terribly helpful

edit

Hi, this article is sprawling and doesn't cite many sources... I'm not sure it's right or even helpful. Joebeone (Talk) 13:43, 9 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

Data ethics is becoming a significant topic, with more being published since this article was first developed. It is probably worth reviewing the content and structure, and whether it really has the correct coverage. As a starting point, the principles section does not have a source and does not even include anything about impacts, whether beneficial or not. Ca3tki (talk) 09:28, 10 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

Most of the text in the article was written as a term paper for a wikiedu course back in 2017, so it's understandable that there aren't enough references. Now that the course is over, I also agree with Shalor (Wiki Ed) (section above) about merging it into either Big data or Information ethics at some point. --D昌양 (Talk) 18:56, 14 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Actually, I see that much of the article was rewritten by Mitzi Laszlo in June 2018. She expanded the principles to 6 items but I don't see any reliable sources dividing them up this way. Seems like OR so I'll put on a warning tag. There is a book from dataethics.eu that lists another handful of principles, but this is self-published. Other books on data ethics that I looked into (eg. Davis & Patterson) don't seem to be organized by itemized principles. --D昌양 (Talk) 19:47, 14 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
