Wikipedia Evaluation

Wikipedia Article - Credibility

• Each fact comes from a documented source - examining each source shows a reliable resource, such as a published Professor from Toulouse, France or the Stanford website. Being a very combed over article, there does not seem to be any discernable bias. While some sources may favor some point of view, the information that is pulled in does not.
• Examining the "Talk" subsection of the Credibility article, it seems to be dead (for lack of a better word). The last edit was in November of 2016. It seems to be very polished and finished as an individual article. Furthermore, this edit was only a small one - the changing of a single external link by "InternetArchiveBot."
• The article is part of the Business, Marketing & Advertising, Philosophy, and Politics WikiProjects. I cannot seem the find the rating as of right now. (Will update).

Wikipedia Essay - The Earth is Flat? Check Wikipedia.

• Reading this article was an insight into the immense benefit editing Wikipedia could be to students - an 87% increase in the media literacy of students is massize. I was unaware how beneficial this type of program could be. It was also nice to see a statistic of how much students have contributed to Wikipedia - a reported 25 million words as of March 20, 2017.

Wikipedia Policy - Neutral Point of View

• One that was particularly interesting to see in the description of this policy was their policy on conspiracy theories, pseudoscience, and speculative history. The policy basically stats to omit any information about them when discussing academic viewpoints, as they should not be given validation. While it is not particularly surprising to see such a stance, I did find it interesting.
• The subsection on aesthetic opinions was also interesting to read, as it basically highlighted a way to tip-toe around around calling an individual any opinionated title even if they are widely regarded with that title.
• It was mildly surprising to see they are okay with some forms of assumptions (necessary assumptions), though on further thought it becomes logical that it would be necessary.
• Put into a single sentence: "Always write without bias, and with fairness for all sides."

Donnie Darko

"The May 29 world premiere of Donnie Darko: The Director's Cut at the Seattle film festival had the feeling of a revival meeting. The screening sold out the day tickets went on sale. (A test release in seven Seattle theaters grossed $32,736 in five days.)"

"The design may have come to him in a dream, Kelly says, or maybe subconsciously from his longtime love of Watership Down. The director sketched out Frank's face himself—some of his initial drawings can be seen in the film's final "mad world" montage"

The tickets sold out within the day for the Seattle International Film Festival premiere, grossing nearly $33,000 over a five day period.

The design, will potentially inspired by Watership Down, could also be the result of a dream of Kelly's.

Maat Kheru

The phrase was often used to denote someone who had passed and become a god by placing it after the name of the individual in question.

This phenomena can be seen in the naming of the pharaoh Amenehat IV, who was also known as Ma'at-Kheeru-Ra (which can also be seen on the Saqqara Tablet).
