Wikipedians often talk about "content gaps." What do you think a content gap is, and what are some possible ways to identify them? Biancafrancis (talk) 17:44, 29 January 2017 (UTC)I believe that a content gap is where information that is supposed to be somewhere is missing. They could be identified when information does not flow together.Reply


What are some reasons a content gap might arise? What are some ways to remedy them? Biancafrancis (talk) 17:44, 29 January 2017 (UTC)A content gap my arise when the author does not know enough about an article to provide all of the information. A way to remedy that is to do more research.Reply

Does it matter who writes Wikipedia? Biancafrancis (talk) 17:44, 29 January 2017 (UTC)No it does not matter as long as the information is correct.Reply


What does it mean to be "unbiased" on Wikipedia? How is that different, or similar, to your own definition of "bias"? Biancafrancis (talk) 17:44, 29 January 2017 (UTC)It is important to be unbiased because you do not want to sway others into thinking something is factual when it really is not. That is similar to my own definition of bias.Reply

Week 2

Bianca, I'm a bit worried about your answers here. First, these should have been posted on your Sandbox page, as per the instructions. Second, these are very mediocre answers. You really need to be writing much more for any and all assignments that you have in college. And third, you need to structure your answers so that your signatures come at the end. I was confused why you put your signatures in the middle of your writing. This cannot happen on Wikipedia because it will destroy the structure of pages.


I wrote these same answers in my sandbox page please check there. @Alfgarciamora:

Your other assignment for this week asked you to write comments on an article's talk page. The only thing I see listed, however, is that you made two small edits to the article on Gluten. Is everything okay? I worry that you are falling behind. If this is incorrect, please contact the Wikipedia staff so they can help you. Alfgarciamora (talk) 19:55, 30 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
